You've narrowed your replacement door down to two materials: aluminium and uPVC. Good choices, they're two of our most popular. But which is right for your home?
When customers search for a replacement door, four factors come up again and again: weather performance, energy efficiency, security and quality. Both materials deliver on all four, they just get there differently.
Aluminium is exceptionally robust and corrosion-resistant, tending to be stronger and longer-lasting. Its strength allows slimmer frames and larger panes of glass, giving a premium, contemporary look that suits modern homes and larger openings.
uPVC, meanwhile, offers excellent thermal performance and security at a more accessible price. It's virtually maintenance-free, no repainting, no warping, and modern profiles come in a huge range of colours and woodgrain finishes, so it suits traditional properties just as well as new ones.
The honest answer? Neither is universally better. The right choice depends on your home's style, the size of the opening and your budget, and we'll tell you straight which we'd recommend for your property.
