Demonstrating how Aluco products can create focal-point designs is an installation of steel look doors in Knowle, West Midlands. We’ve crafted a bespoke curved head screen spanning from the ground to the first floor in a brick-built barn conversion design featuring double doors, side panels and fixed glazing above. The doors and surrounding glazing create a bold statement to this beautiful family home.
Black steel look doors in Knowle, West Midlands
Knowle is a village in Solihull Borough Council with a long history, and its homes are a mix of character properties, cottages and larger homes. With lots of farmland barn style homes are popular.
The project is a substantial brick residential property in a classic barn style featuring an arched screen. Working with our long-established Aluco Approved Dealer, Fox Windows, we’ve manufactured a steel-inspired entrance, creating a dominant feature within the property. Typical houses in this style can include visible timbers internally, a large expansive interior with high ceilings, galleried landings, large windows and, of course, the feature screen spanning the height of the building.
Aluco Exterior Collection Double Doors
The design of these beautiful steel look doors in Knowle starts with our Exterior Door Collection. Available as double doors in flexible sizes, these doors comprise thermally insulated aluminium profiles protected by a professionally applied colour finish.
The design of the screen comes in two parts: the ground floor double doors with side panels. The glazed curved head screen above connects the doors in eight panes.
The curving of aluminium is a specialised process. Once the structural opening is built, a template is taken to establish accurate manufacturing sizes. The curved head framing is then shaped using specialist bending equipment. Manufacturing these types of curved head designs takes expertise because the mullions joining the curve also need shaping and machining to create a seamless joint.
The overall design uses our classic steel-inspired frame profiles with a stepped-edge appearance, and the doors have desirable feature plates behind the lever handles, replicating classic metal doors. The entire screen is also energy efficient using highly insulated glazing, comprising toughened safety glass, having a soft-coat low-emissivity coating, warm edge spacer bars and argon gas fill.
Inside and out, these steel look doors in Knowle are powder coated in the popular matt black finish, RAL 9005. Finishing off the doors are matching black lever handles and hinges.
The entire installation demonstrates the design, quality and luxury available with all Aluco products and their ability to transform any home.
