We wanted to invest on a quality set of doors as one of the main focal points in a rather large extension of our home. After doing some research we settled on Aluco. Our contact from start to finish was Kieran, who was so helpful, constructive and knowledgeable. When installed we were so pleased as the fit was perfect, the finish outstanding. Not only did we consider the quality better than other options we looked at, the cost was nowhere near them. So much that our window/door fitters that we used on the job are now looking at them as an alternative. A solid 5 out of 5 and would definitely use again.

After having a horrible experience with another company, we got in touch with Aluco and they couldn’t have been more helpful. As we are doing a self build, they helped us pick the right doors for the look we were after and to make the best use of our available space. We knew the doors and windows are a top quality product and couldn’t be more pleased with them when they arrived. Everyone we spoke to went out of their way to help and we felt they took a personal interest in resolving our predicament, so it’s a five star review from us for both the service and product.

Just completed house renovation, using all the internal bespoke doors with glass panels. Absolutely delighted with the quality of doors and service. I was assisted every step of the way in getting the right size and format of extremely tall door. Keiran has been exceptionally helpful to deal with over the months from ordering to completion. 10/10I never usually do reviews but but I would say the whole experience and end result that has been achieved has been amazing.

So pleased with our new Aluco bifold doors, the best we could find on the market! We wanted bifolds with maximum glass area and no bulky frame and the Aluco doors were the perfect choice. Stunning, deep matte black colour, high quality, great choice of hardware and a first-class service. Highly recommend!

I recently had 3 sets of ALUCO exterior crital styled steel framed doors fitted to my property as part of an ongoing renovation. After looking around at various options Aluco was the only manufacturer that I felt could deliver the style I was looking for. With most other companies I thought the design was bulky and not finished to the finesse Aluco has achieved . Based on my experience I can honestly thoroughly recommend this manufacturer and will look to use them again on any future projects
