Aluminium Heritage Doors
Slim Steel-Look Frames
Our heritage doors are designed to replicate traditional steel doors, so you can enjoy modern performance without sacrificing heritage appeal. With typical sightlines of just 59mm, these doors capture the minimalistic look of traditional steel doors.
Powder-coated Aluminium
Our range of slim-profile aluminium doors are made using powder-coated aluminium profile from our go-to extruder Smart Systems. Powder coating involves the application of dry powder to the aluminium, which is then cured under heat to create a uniform finish. This coating serves as a protective barrier against harsh weather conditions, significantly prolonging the lifespan of our doors.
Polyamide Thermal Break
To enhance thermal efficiency, our aluminium doors incorporate a polyamide thermal break. This non-conductive material is placed between the inner and outer parts of the aluminium frame, effectively reducing thermal transmittance and improving energy efficiency.
Glazing Bars
Glazing bars including our 48mm horizontal transom bars and 25mm vertical astragal bars, play an important role in defining the aesthetic of our aluminium heritage doors. The surface bars can add depth and character, creating a grid-like pattern that can replicate the authentic look of traditional steel doors and enhance the appeal of the doors.
Handle Between Bars
The handle on our aluminium heritage doors is strategically and thoughtfully placed between two horizontal transoms. This design decision ensures not only functional ease of use but also aesthetic harmony. The positioning of the handle in between the transoms provides a balanced and symmetrical appearance, enhancing the overall elegance of the door.
Multi-point Locking Mechanism
All independently opening traffic doors come equipped with a robust 5-point locking mechanism as standard. This advanced locking system is meticulously designed to provide increased security and peace of mind. Accredited with a high-security status, the 5-point locking mechanism engages at multiple points along the door frame, significantly enhancing the door’s resistance to forced entry.
Black Hinges
The hinges on our aluminium heritage doors always come in a sleek black finish. This creates a seamless and cohesive appearance, perfectly matching the black gaskets that are a standard feature on our doors.
Trickle Vents
Building regulations state that trickle vents are required on virtually all glazed elements, aiming to improve indoor air quality and ensure adequate ventilation in homes and buildings. Trickle vents on heritage doors are fitted into a 42mm add-on above the door frame, allowing the vents to function effectively without compromising the elegant appearance of the doors.

Our aluminium doors come with a variety of sill options to meet the functional needs of the opening.

Glazing Options
Double Glazing
As with our complete range of doors, our Aluminium heritage doors come with double glazing as standard. The glass unit comprises toughened clear glass as well as Low E glass, providing superior energy performance by reflecting heat back into the room. Additionally, the units are filled with argon gas to further improve insulation.
Triple Glazing
Take energy efficiency a step further by choosing our advanced triple glazed option. Incorporating three panes of glass with argon gas sealed between two insulated pockets, triple glazing can enhance insulation significantly beyond the standard.
Spacer Bars
Spacer bars are placed around the perimeter of the glazed unit in our aluminium and uPVC products. They provide crucial structural support and ensure consistent spacing between the panes. You can select from three bar colours to match your window’s aesthetic.

Laminated Glass
Upgrade your aluminium heritage doors with laminated glass for enhanced safety and peace of mind. Laminated glass offers significant safety benefits, particularly notable for its ability to hold shattered glass together with an interlayer in case of breakage. This feature ensures that even if the glass is compromised, it remains intact and minimises the risk of sharp fragments.

Weatherproofing
Aluminium heritage doors come with effective features for weatherproofing such as modern glazing, tight seals and a polyamide thermal break. The doors we manufacture have been tested to the British standards and passed with flying colours. By choosing a heritage aluminium door for your home, you can rest assured it’ll create a barrier between your cosy living space and the rainy British weather conditions outside.
Thermal Efficiency
With energy prices rising, the last thing anyone wants to do is lose unnecessary heat from their home. Our Aluminium heritage door system utilises the latest polyamide thermal break technology to help ensure that the cold outside doesn’t enter the warm inside through the frame.
Security
Our Aluminium heritage doors have some of the most effective multi-point locking systems available. Our extensive PAS 24 upgrade includes a wide range of enhanced features required for new-builds and as standard the doors are fitted with high security cylinders for improved safeguarding.
Manufacturing Guarantee
As with all Quickslide windows and doors, our Aluminium heritage doors come with a manufacturing guarantee of up to ten years. This guarantee is in place to protect the customer’s investment for total peace of mind and provide reassurance that the doors will last for years to come.

In House Manufactured Aluminium Doors
At our manufacturing facility in West Yorkshire, we take pride in crafting all our aluminium heritage doors with meticulous attention to detail and precision. Having our production processes on site grants us full control over every aspect of manufacturing, ensuring that each door meets our high standards for quality.
Beyond quality control, manufacturing locally provides significant logistical advantages, including speedy lead times. By overseeing the entire production cycle from start to finish, we can meet the demands of homeowners and builders alike who seek prompt delivery without compromising on the quality and craftsmanship synonymous with our aluminium heritage doors.
Modern Heritage Door Materials
Alitherm heritage doors offer a superior choice over steel while maintaining an equally elegant aesthetic. One key advantage lies in aluminium’s inherent properties of strength and durability, making it a lightweight yet robust material for doors. Unlike steel, aluminium is naturally resistant to corrosion, ensuring longevity and minimal maintenance over time.
Aluminium’s inherent flexibility allows for larger door panels and slimmer sightlines, enhancing both natural light and panoramic views. This combination of modern durability and traditional aesthetics makes aluminium a superior choice for homeowners seeking elegance alongside performance.
Cost Effective Heritage Aluminium Doors
Aluminium heritage doors offer a cost-effective alternative to traditional steel frames while retaining their timeless appeal. Compared to steel, aluminium is generally more affordable without compromising on durability or style. Aluminium heritage doors are an attractive option for homeowners looking to enhance their property with a classic look without exceeding their budget.
Despite the great value for money, aluminium doors are lightweight yet strong, providing excellent structural integrity and corrosion resistance. This durability reduces long-term maintenance expenses and extends the doors’ lifespan, enhancing their overall value.
Traditional Steel Door Replicas
Aluminium heritage doors are designed as an excellent replica of traditional steel doors, seamlessly blending classic aesthetics with modern functionality. These doors capture the iconic slim sightlines and elegant characteristics of steel doors, providing an authentic heritage appearance that enhances the charm of both period properties and contemporary homes. The use of aluminium makes it easier for us to manufacture narrow frames that mimic the look of steel, creating a sophisticated and timeless appeal.
