tag:Thermal Efficiency — One of the benefits of steel style doors that cannot be overstated is their incredible thermal efficiency. These doors maintain reducing condensation and solar glare. And we can improve the glazing from double to triple. If you’re choosing a solid door with window panels we can offer U-values as low as 0.9 W/m2K, far exceeding government standards of 1.6 W/m2K.
Modern Look — A front door is the face of the home. As such, it deserves consideration. When you choose us for your aluminium door supply, we can ensure that you’re getting stunning chic designs. These doors work well with Scandinavian or Japanese minimalist designs, which is why they’re so popular.
Environmentally Friendly — Unlike many other materials, aluminium is recyclable, losing very little of the material’s properties. That’s one of the reasons that it’s so popular as a construction material. Rising government standards mean that building materials are coming under more scrutiny for sustainability. You’ll want to make the right choice and choose aluminium.
Enhanced Security — Our aluminium doors are tested to PAS24 standards, ensuring that these aluminium doors provide the ultimate security to the homeowner. Additionally, they come with 10 point locking systems. Since we offer Ultion locks as standard along with Yale hardware, including door handles, these are yet another way we ensure great security.
Weatherproof — All of our products are tested to BRFC standards to ensure that your next installation meets environmental standards. Depending on design, we can offer double rebated EPDM centre gaskets for enhanced draught and water protection. Plus, the glass we use is tested to air tightness of Class 4; water tightness to Class 9A; and wind resistance to Class AE2400.
Powder Coating — Whatever colour you choose for your aluminium door, the anodised powder coatings ensure that the door stays colourfast and rust resistant. We occasionally offer a marine grade coating to make sure that these aluminium doors are weatherproof and rust resistant, keeping these doors
Design Choice— At Direct Trade, we offer choices for your next aluminium door. Which is why we have over 20 great designs. If you’re looking for modern designs with slim window panels, we can offer 66mm triple glazed and laminated glass units. For glazed doors we can offer glass thickness up to 32mm, with max dimensions of 1000mmx 2500mm (WxH).

When looking for your next minimalist door style, look no further than Direct Trade. We fabricate and supply premium steel look doors for exquisite homes. Most of our customers are looking to create minimalist and classic designs that work for modern houses or integrate with period homes. We have been an established business for over 20 years.
With these stylish doors, we create designs to bring homes to the 21st century. One of the best parts about steel look doors is that they’re incredibly low maintenance. With a simple wipe of soap and water, your steel look door is clean again.
The added benefit of using steel alternatives, like aluminium, is that you get all the modern and chic designs without any heavy product. This makes it easier to install and more cost effective.
You can order our steel look doors in any number of styles and glazing to match our aluminium casement windows. Look through our brochures to see if you can find the design that’s right for your next installation.
At Direct Trade, we, of course, test all of our doors to BFRC standards. You’ll know them by their rainbow seal of approval. Aluminium can exceed government standards for thermal efficiency with polyamide thermal breaks, providing some of the lowest U-values on the market.
We know that homeowners are becoming increasingly aware of the importance of their U-values and overall thermal efficiency. It’s one of the reasons that we fabricate and supply double and triple glazing for our doors and windows. Depending on the steel look door design you choose, we can have glass thickness between 32mm and 66mm.
With such great thermal efficiency and weatherproofing, these new doors prevent draughts and mould from taking root in the home. Make the right choice on the next installation you make by choosing steel look doors with thermally broken lowered thresholds and greater draught protection.
Security is Our Priority
While we can provide 10 point locking systems with our aluminium doors and double doors with dual locking mechanisms, we always use Ultion locks as standard.
The Benefits of Ultion are Numerous
Let’s start with the fact that they have a £2000 anti snap guarantee. If your door is broken into with snapping, they will refund you £2000 and replace your lock.
State of the Art Design
Furthermore, Ultion locks have 11 pins, meaning they are just shy of 300k key combinations, making them virtually impossible to jimmy.
Fantastic Features
With upgrades, you can control your Ultion lock from your phone and unlock your door from the comfort of your car.
If you’ve been thinking about steel alternatives, give us a call to begin pricing your next steel look door. You’ll be able to find and choose more, like colours, single or double doors, and our glazing options. If you have any questions about our installation process, our Slough team would be happy to hear from you.
