Installed by our trusted Approved Partner, Burgess Group, this Suffolk project demonstrates the elegant versatility of the Aluco Exterior Collection. Featuring white steel look doors with side panels, the doors were custom-built to deliver the refined styling of traditional steel glazing, adapted to suit both the exterior character and interior atmosphere of this period home.
White Steel-Look Doors for a Character Property
The homeowners were seeking doors that would sit comfortably alongside the Edwardian architecture of their home. With the neighbouring properties still retaining original sash windows, it was essential that any changes remained sympathetic to the property’s original design.
Workign closely with our installation partner, the solution was a distinctive set of steel look doors in white.
While the focus of this project was on the rear doors, it formed part of a wider renovation programme including new sash windows to the front elevation. By choosing Aluco for the doors, the homeowners were able to carry through the same level of attention to detail and quality across both sides of the property—bringing together design and functionality with one cohesive approach.

White Steel Look Doors with Side Panels – Iconic Styling
The chosen configuration includes a set of French-style doors with matching side panels, forming a balanced and understated rear elevation. And the complement the bifold doors on the left hand side perfect as well. On the exterior, the entire system is powder coated in white—blending with the traditional timber sash windows and softening the view from the garden.
This white colour demonstrates our flexible approach to making sure our customers get the bespoke doors they want for their property renovation project. Every product is finished to marine-grade quality and professionally powder coated for long-term durability.

The Exclusive Aluco Floating Lock ™ Design
The floating lock design with our Elite Exterior Collection and also available for our internal doors sits at the heart of the doors. We are the only aluminium company in the UK that has developed this unique look, only otherwise available with steel doors at substantial extra cost.
Floating lock is available either as a fullly glazed door, or as shown here on these white steel look doors with the slimmest 20mm glazing bars. A minimalist visual feature and breaking up the glazed surface without needing vertical bars.

Aluco French Doors – Crafted Details and High Performance
s with all Aluco exterior products, the system is built from our signature thermally broken premium-grade aluminium profiles, offering reliable insulation and long-term strength. Each door is glazed with 28mm double glazed units—toughened safety glass with a soft-coat low-emissivity coating, warm edge spacer bars, and argon gas fill. Combined, these features ensure year-round comfort and energy efficiency.
Hardware is chosen to reflect the architectural quality of the home. The doors are finished with solid brass Art Deco handles and colour-matched hinges, maintaining both heritage appeal and practical usability. A low threshold supports smooth access to the garden, while internal glazing and multipoint locking deliver discreet yet effective security.
