At Aluco, we recently worked on a distinctive renovation project in the beautiful city of Bath, where the homeowner sought a stylish yet practical solution for their kitchen doors. These were to separate their kitchen and hallway, using our expertly designed and crafted internal metal corner doors. The brief was clear: maintain an open-plan feel without losing the option for privacy, and incorporate an elegant steel-look design that would harmonise with the property’s contemporary-meets-classic interior.
Black Aluco Internal corner doors
Our Aluco Internal Corner Doors proved to be the ideal answer. Unlike traditional hinged sets that open along a single axis, these corner doors meet at a right angle, efficiently transforming a once-open corner into two striking glazed panels. When closed, they section off each space, providing welcome noise reduction—particularly useful during busy family mealtimes. Yet when fully opened, they blend seamlessly into the backdrop, preserving the homeowner’s preference for an airy, interconnected flow.
From a design standpoint, these doors capture all the qualities people love about industrial-style steel, thanks to slender aluminium frames and carefully arranged glazing bars. By creating a central pivot where the two panels meet, we were able to keep the sightlines as minimal as possible, allowing the maximum amount of natural light into both the kitchen and dining areas. This thoughtful approach also helps the darker finish of the frames stand out against lighter walls and wood floor, resulting in a sophisticated visual contrast.
Durability and ease of use were equally high priorities. We incorporate multiple chambers within the aluminium profiles to lend extra rigidity and stability, ensuring these doors can handle daily knocks and bumps. A discrete latch system prevents unsightly hardware from marring the clean lines, and each door is fitted with a high-quality seal to minimise noise transfer. The homeowner especially appreciated the effortless operation, with smooth hinges and a comfortable handle grip making the doors simple to open and close.
In terms of personalisation, we collaborated closely with the client to choose finishes and glazing options that would complement their existing décor. A refined black powder-coated colour was selected for the frames—both attractive and practical—while clear toughened glass keeps the kitchen bright without compromising on safety. By hand-finishing every component in our own facility, we delivered doors that met the homeowner’s precise specifications, all while showcasing our passion for artisanal craftsmanship.
The result is a beautiful pair of internal corner doors that give the Bath property a contemporary edge, yet remain in tune with the home’s inviting charm. The flexible design meets every requirement for practicality, style, and comfort. For us at Aluco, projects like this highlight the versatility of our interior range and underline our commitment to blending form and function in every bespoke solution we create.
