No, that’s a common misconception. Despite some beliefs, aluminium patio doors are not an easy target for burglars. They are equipped with double glazing, which is very challenging to break due to its toughness. The doors feature strong frames and optional toughened glass designed to prevent breakage. Additionally, burglars generally avoid noisy methods of entry that draw attention, and our doors include features that make lock-picking exceedingly difficult.

Aluminium patio doors may initially seem less thermally efficient due to their large glass panels replacing smaller windows. However, they can significantly enhance your home’s energy efficiency by harnessing solar gain — the process where heat from the sun warms your living space. This warmth is then retained inside due to the argon gas layer sandwiched within the double-glazed panes, effectively trapping heat, and reducing the need for artificial heating.

Choosing between aluminium patio doors and aluminium bi-fold doors depends on your specific preferences and needs. Aluminium bi-fold doors are celebrated for their ability to fully open up spaces, creating a seamless transition and a Mediterranean ambience, although their larger frames can be viewed as cumbersome. On the other hand, aluminium patio doors might only open halfway, but their slim frames and elegant design make them a favoured option for those looking to enhance their home with a modern, airy feel.
