A first of its kind. Not a modified patio door. Not a reworked bifold door with a panel. Not even a standard residential front door system. The new Aluco steel-look front door is a purpose-built product that is engineered from the ground up to be the only aluminium steel-look front door of its kind in the UK.
This is something the market has never seen before and was revealed at the 2025 London Homebuilding and Renovating Show, due to be available later in the year.
Aluco’s new front door styled in the Art-Deco, industrial, heritage or aesthetic of steel doors, with contemporary or traditional styling..
The Steel Look Front Door – Why We Created It
Aluco is proud to have led the market in steel look windows, doors, internal doors and partition screens. Our Aluco Elite system is the most authentic steel-inspired aluminium collection on the market. We continue to innovate and bring out products that make ours even more authentic and steel-like, without the cost or lead times of welded steel doors.
Until now, the steel-look front door hasn’t existed. If you wanted a new front door, the only cohesive look on the front of their property would be a compromise. Either by having a patio single or double door with transoms and bars, or by installing a standard aluminium entrance door that never truly matched the glazing system.
We have solved this problem with a genuine design breakthrough. Our new front door uses the a steel-inspired sash and outer frame as our renowned Aluco Elite Exterior Collection, but with the form, performance and aesthetic presence of a real front door.
The result is a steel-look aluminium door that’s bold, secure, elegant—and entirely fit for purpose.
