Choosing a front door: what to look out for?

Aluminium doors are becoming increasingly popular. Logical, because they have particularly many positive properties. Aluminium as a material combines lightweight, low-maintenance and long lifespan with excellent insulation values and endless aesthetic possibilities. We list the advantages.

Suitable for any architectural style

Aluminium doors are available in a variety of designs and finishes. Rustic, modern, minimalist ... 100% sure aluminium doors to suit your home. You choose the look you want, because aluminium doors can be fully customised.

Ease of use

If you choose an aluminium door, you choose convenience. Aluminium doors are very sturdy but at the same time light, making them easy for anyone to open.

Very easy to maintain

Aluminium doors do not need to be painted or varnished. Depending on the living environment and the environment, you have to clean your aluminium Aliplast doors with Periodi-Clean two to four times a year: in the country, twice a year is sufficient, in the city and by the coast about four times a year. For good colour retention, also apply Maxigloss once a year.

Aluminium doors: a choice for years

When buying your new doors, you naturally pay attention to quality and durability so that you can enjoy your choice for years to come. Aluminium doors will last for decades. This is because aluminium profiles are highly resistant to rusting, cracking and are particularly colourfast.

An infinite palette of colours

On top of the extensive design choice, you can also play with colours. Aluminium doors are available in an infinite number of colours. Depending on the finish, you can choose matt, gloss or textured lacquer. If desired, you can even choose a different colour on the inside and outside, so that your door matches both your façade and your interior. Aliplast even offers a colour range with a 25-year paint guarantee.

Strong insulation performance

A home's door is a place where a lot of heat can be lost. A well-insulated door is therefore crucial to avoid high energy costs. Aliplast aluminium doors provide perfect air, water and wind tightness as well as excellent thermal insulation. In short: these doors keep heat in and draughts out.

High-quality acoustic properties

For an optimal comfort, you should also consider the acoustic insulation of the doors. Aliplast aluminium doors have high acoustic insulation: they block outside noises very well, allowing you to enjoy the peace and quiet indoors.

Fireproof

Aluminium is the right choice when it comes to fire resistance. Aliplast's aluminium doors have been successfully tested for fire resistance, allowing us to offer doors with a fire resistance of 30 minutes. Aluminium doors also do not emit harmful substances or gases in case of fire.

Burglar-proof

Aluminium is light, but at the same time enormously strong and almost unbreakable. The sturdier the material, the less likely a burglar can stick a crowbar between your door to break it open. Combined with burglar-proof hardware, you have a very secure solution. For example, there is the multi-point lock. Traditional front doors have only one locking point at the level of the door handle. By applying sufficient force, the lock breaks open. This can be done more safely. A multi-point lock has 3 or 5 or 7 locking points that anchor the door leaf in the door frame. They are distributed along the entire length of the door.

For homes, an RC2 rating is more than sufficient: Aliplast doors meet this, we can even offer a door that meets the more stringent RC3 class.

An ecological choice

Aluminium is 100% recyclable. This process can be repeated permanently without loss of quality. By recycling aluminium, you also reduce CO2 emissions. So you also do your bit for a good environment.
