What are the advantages of aluminium doors compared to steel? When choosing a new door or wall, you often end up considering steel or aluminium. At first glance they might look the same, but in practice there are distinct differences.

Steel looks tough and heavy, whilst aluminium is lighter and easier to use. Therefore, it is useful to know what both materials have to offer, so that you can make a choice that suits your home well. In the finish, that difference cannot be seen: black aluminium doors have the same sleek line.

Weight and ease of use

Aluminium is naturally a light metal, whereas steel is much heavier. You notice this straight away with the doors and walls of Aluwdoors: a aluminium interior door is easy both to open and to close.

Also in terms of installation, the difference is significant. Because aluminium weighs less, it is easier to install. This is without the need for extra heavy hinges or reinforced structures. Yet the material is sturdy enough to easily handle daily use, meaning you benefit from high-quality doors.

Maintenance and sustainability

In the long run, you often have fewer worries with aluminium. This metal does not rust and therefore stays looking nice without you having to do much to it. A quick wipe with a cloth is usually enough. Steel is very strong and can last for years, but if the coating on it gets damaged, rust will form.

So steel requires more maintenance, whereas the aluminium doors of Aluwdoors are easy to maintain.

Design freedom and finish

Aluminium offers many possibilities in terms of design. Thanks to the slim profiles, a light and open look is created, while you can choose from various styles that suit both modern and more classical interiors. In addition, there are many different options in colour, glass and handles, so that the door or wall always matches the rest of the interior. For example, choose the coating for all possible RAL colours.
