Different Types of Aluminium Doors

Aluminium door types trending now! 

Slide and Fold 

These are great doors for home renovations, providing you with the feeling of being outside without actually stepping out. 

Available in a range of configurations, this style of door offers a great deal of flexibility, allowing you to be creative with where they are placed. 

Providing a feeling of open space, these doors can also let in an abundance of natural light. 

Slide and fold doors are stackable folding doors with multiple panels. Folding doors work by opening the doors and folding them back by their sections/panels. (This is similar to stack away doors, which are ideal for large openings, letting you open up the space to let the great outdoors in. The doors operate by using an overhead sliding track, where the partial opening or closing of the doors can be easily achieved). 

This type of door can help to reinvent your interior living space, as they don’t take up too much room, they open up the space available, and can be head-turning in their design. 

Aluminium Sliding Doors 

Mainly found leading out onto a patio or decked area, where doors can be left open, providing an unobstructed view of the outside, aluminium sliding doors can be incredibly modern. The doors are easily opened by sliding the door to the desired side and can offer ease, convenience, and act as a great space-saving option. 

They also offer a degree of flexibility when it comes to being able to fix blinds and curtains. 

Sliding doors are seamless, yet fully controlled when it comes to the opening and closing functionality. They consist of one fixed panel and a sliding panel, which, when moved back and forth on the rollers on the track, the door can be opened and closed. 

This style of door can also be automated for workplaces and manual for the home, again providing you with choice and flexibility in design. 

Some sliding doors can also offer a tilting window where you can let the fresh air in without sliding the door fully open. 

Casement Doors 

A stunning feature to entrance doors, casement doors generally comes with large glass panels that are attached to the mainframe. Grand in their appearance, they offer the perfect view to the outside world. 

Trending currently is a modern style casement door with a traditional twist. 

Note: Top hung casement designs allow for windows/doors to be open, even when it’s raining outside.

There are no hinged or folding mechanisms to these doors; however, they do offer a high level of security for homeowners.
