What is the difference between a steel and an aluminum front door?

The search for a new front door is not always easy and can sometimes be long. Your new front door should match the style of your home and reflect your taste. But it must also satisfy a high level of safety and contribute to energy saving thanks to excellent insulation coefficients.

Discover below the details of our offer and the advantages of each of our doors, whether they are made of steel or aluminum.

Steel Doors

Contrary to what many think, the use of steel doors is not limited to industry, private individuals can also enjoy their advantages. Among these advantages are security, thermal insulation and fire protection.

Steel doors secure your entrance

Steel doors are an effective way to add security to your home. The installation of a steel entrance door is therefore strongly recommended if the desired purpose is to avoid burglaries. Thanks to their resistance, steel entrance doors offer higher security than wooden or glass doors, especially if the steel is armored.

In addition to ensuring the security of your home, the maintenance of steel entry doors is minimal compared to wooden or glass doors. On the other hand, steel entrance doors are usually available in several colors and can combine steel with other materials such as glass or wood. This ensures the aesthetic unity of your home.

Steel Doors Give You Better Thermal Insulation

Steel basement doors can be used as an exterior or garage access door to avoid energy loss. If the door opens directly to the outside, important criteria are, in addition to thermal insulation, soundproofing and burglary protection. As basement doors are among the most frequently used entrances by burglars, it is also imperative to consider anti-burglary equipment.

Steel doors offer a variety of benefits, including:

1. Durability: Steel doors are very durable and can withstand harsh weather conditions, impact, and attempted break-ins.
2. Security: Steel doors provide enhanced security due to their strength and durability. They are difficult to break through or pry open.
3. Fire resistance: Steel doors can be designed to be fire-resistant, providing an added level of protection in case of a fire.
4. Low maintenance: Steel doors require very little maintenance and can last for many years with minimal upkeep.
5. Energy efficiency: Steel doors can be insulated to prevent heat loss and reduce energy costs.
6. Design options: Steel doors come in a variety of designs and finishes, allowing homeowners to choose a style that fits their aesthetic preferences.
7. Soundproofing: Steel doors can help reduce noise transmission from the outside, providing a quieter living space.

Aluminum doors

Design, trendy, ecological and renewable, aluminum doors are very modern and contemporary thanks to their original cutouts and patterns. Customizable almost to infinity thanks to a very wide range of colors and a constantly renewed catalog of cutouts, the aluminum entrance doors guarantee a very stylish elegance to the façade and a perfect unity with the whole of your house.

If previously aluminum sometimes suffered from a bad reputation regarding its energy performance, today new manufacturing techniques allow aluminum entrance doors to be as insulating as the others.

Unlike other materials, the aluminum front door is not very prone to scratches and does not require any special maintenance. It is simply cleaned with hot water, or even with a mild detergent for the doors most exposed to pollution or bad weather.

Aluminum is a very resistant, compact material that does not fear shocks. We mainly offer aluminum doors whose thickness of the panel and profiles guarantee excellent robustness, very difficult to force by burglars. Resistance to burglary is therefore good and can even be reinforced depending on the lock chosen for optimal comfort.

Aluminum doors also offer a variety of benefits, including:

1. Durability: Aluminum doors are very durable and resistant to weather, corrosion, and impact.
2. Lightweight: Aluminum doors are lighter than steel doors, making them a more manageable option for larger doors or where weight is a concern.
3. Energy efficiency: Aluminum doors can be designed with thermal breaks and insulation to prevent heat loss, reducing energy costs.
