Are aluminium doors safe for children?
Aluminium doors are popular in modern interiors and are also safe for children. With their large windows, they provide plenty of light, a spacious feeling and a luxurious look.
However, many parents do wonder whether such a door with so much glass is safe for children. Thanks to strong aluminium, combined with laminated safety glass six millimetres thick and a soft-close system, these doors meet all safety requirements.
The softclose system ensures that the doors close gently, so small children are less likely to get their fingers between the door.
The safety of glass: laminated and tested
Laminated safety glass consists of two sheets of glass with a strong, transparent film between them. The whole is six millimetres thick. This film prevents the glass from shattering into sharp shards on impact. It remains firmly stuck together.
The safety glass used by Aluwdoors is stronger than standard glass, so it will not break even when the door is used intensively. If small children bump into the door while playing, the glass will not break either.
The glass is firmly anchored in the aluminium frame, so it will not come loose in case of a bump or vibration.
The construction: strong and maintenance-free
Aluminium is a material that retains its shape even after years of intensive use. Unlike wood, they do not deform due to temperature differences or moisture. This makes the doors not only durable, but also safer. This is especially nice in households with children.
The strong frame protects the glass all around and prevents sharp edges in case of a hard impact. During assembly, the door is precisely adjusted so that everything remains perfectly balanced and firmly in place.
The right door type for families with children

The finish of the aluminium doors
The good finish of our aluminium doors is important for safety. Our doors have no sharp edges or protruding pieces of metal. Thus, children, as well as adults, cannot hurt themselves on the door.
Every door is guaranteed to be safe to use. We offer various finishing options, such as coating in all RAL colours, which enhance the door's appearance and provide extra protection against rust. The door lasts longer and retains its protective properties. This is especially important in environments with high humidity or in houses where the door is often exposed to the elements.
When finishing our aluminium doors, we also pay attention to the safety of the handles and hinges. These parts are designed to have no sharp edges. The hinges are securely attached.
Furthermore, we offer the options to make the doors more beautiful with various decorative elements. With our finishing options, you adapt the door to your personal style and choose a safe solution.
So our doors are beautiful and safe to use. That is why we continue to invest in the best materials and technologies.
Softclose of the aluminium doors
Our pivot and sliding doors are equipped with a soft-close mechanism. This system ensures that the door closes gently and in a controlled manner, significantly reducing the risk of trapped fingers. A softclose door closes slowly and quietly, which is not only safer, but also more comfortable.
The softclose mechanism is especially useful in households with small children, who do not yet have the strength or control to close doors gently. By using softclose doors, parents need to worry less about accidents and injuries caused by doors slamming hard.
Besides increasing safety, the softclose mechanism also contributes to the life of the door and frame. It reduces the impact on the hinges and door closers. This extends the life of the door and reduces the need for repairs.
Additional safety options and accessories
Accessories such as door stoppers provide extra security in homes with young children. A door stop prevents the door from swinging open too far or falling shut hard.
Glass film ensures that the glass does not shatter on hard impact, reducing the risk of injury. Together, these accessories make Aluwdoors aluminium doors stylish and safe for children. Get advice on which security is best suited to your family situation.
