Aluminium & Glass Doors
From a framed aluminium entry door to a frameless patch-fitted glass door for a shopfront, the door is the hardest-working opening in the building — it needs toughened glass, real hardware, and a frame or fitting system sized for daily traffic, not just for looks.
What matters about this product
- Toughened glass as standard.
- Any glass door at hand and body height uses toughened safety glass — not negotiable for a product people walk into.
- Framed or frameless.
- A framed aluminium door suits a home entry; a frameless patch-fitted door suits a showroom or office front where the all-glass look matters more.
- Floor springs for frameless doors.
- Frameless glass doors rely on floor springs and patch fittings rather than hinges — sized to the door's weight, not a generic fitting.
- Sliding or hinged.
- Hinged for a standard entry, sliding for tight vestibules or where a swing path isn't available.
- Hardware that's visible.
- On a frameless door, the pull handles and lock are on show — this is one place where spending on the hardware itself, not just the glass, changes how the door feels.
- No frame to hide a chipped edge.
- A frameless door's edge is exposed, so it needs careful edge-polishing at fabrication and careful handling on site — a framed door forgives a knock the frame can absorb.

Questions people actually ask
Framed or frameless — what's the real difference?
A framed aluminium door has a visible frame that protects the glass edge and is more forgiving of knocks. A frameless door is patch-fitted glass only — a cleaner, more modern look, but the edge is exposed and the hardware (floor spring, patch fittings) has to be sized correctly for the door's weight.
Is the glass safe to walk into?
Yes — toughened glass is standard at door height. It's designed to break into blunt granules rather than sharp shards if it ever fails.
What hardware does a frameless door need?
A floor spring (for self-closing) or a top/bottom patch fitting, plus a patch lock and pull handles. These are sized to the door's glass thickness and weight, not a one-size-fits-all fitting.
Can a glass door be part of a larger glazed frontage?
Yes — this is usually paired with structural glazing or an aluminium-glass partition system so the door sits within a continuous glazed front rather than as an isolated opening.
