01What it is
Aluminium doors, explained.
An aluminium door is a glazed frame built heavier than a window: deeper sections, stronger hinges or rollers, and a threshold that takes daily traffic.
Sliding doors suit balconies and garden openings where a swinging leaf would get in the way. Hinged doors suit entrances and shops. Folding doors stack to one side and open almost the whole width.
Where it suits
- Balconies, verandahs and garden openings
