Explore Our Aluminium Front Door Ranges

Choose from Attlas Designer, Attlas Signature, Heritage and Spitfire entrance doors, with contemporary and traditional designs, colours, glazing and hardware options available across the ranges.

For a bold contemporary entrance, Attlas Designer, Attlas Signature or Spitfire may be appropriate routes to explore. Heritage Doors provide an alternative where slimmer, steel-look styling better suits the property.

Attlas Designer Doors

Contemporary styling with extensive customisation, Qualicoat-certified powder coating and PAS 24 security, with Secured by Design upgrades available.

Attlas Signature Doors

A premium aluminium entrance option combining contemporary design with secure performance, thermal performance and a low-maintenance finish.

Heritage Doors

Slim sightlines and traditional aesthetics that recreate classic steel-look doors, for period and modern properties alike.

Spitfire Doors

Highly customisable aluminium entrance doors with triple-glazed laminated safety glass, PAS 24 security and a double-door option.

Why Choose an Aluminium Front Door?

Aluminium front doors are a premium choice for homeowners looking for strength, design flexibility and long-lasting performance. The material supports distinctive contemporary designs as well as heritage-inspired styles, with a wide choice of colours, glazing and hardware available across the Chigwell ranges.

The right specification depends on your property, preferred appearance, security requirements and the individual door range. Our team can help you compare the available options before your door is surveyed and specified for your home.

Security specifications vary by range. Attlas Designer Doors use multi-point locking systems, reinforced construction and high-security hinges, meet PAS 24 certification and can be upgraded to Secured by Design. Spitfire specifications include PAS 24 security with a locking system using four hooks and one deadlock.

We can help you select the appropriate security specification for the door and configuration you choose.

Strong and Secure

Modern aluminium entrance doors can combine aluminium construction with insulated panels, glazing and weather protection to support year-round comfort. Exact performance depends on the individual system and configuration.

Attlas Designer Doors, for example, feature triple-glazed laminated units, integrated weather bars and insulated door panels. Compare the available specifications with our team rather than relying on one generic performance figure for every range.

Designed for Thermal Performance

Aluminium is well suited to external doors because it combines strong construction with low-maintenance finishes. Attlas Designer Doors use Qualicoat-certified powder coating, while Spitfire specifications include marine-grade powder-coated finishes.

Finish options vary by range, so colour, texture and maintenance requirements should be checked against the exact door you choose.

Built for Long-Term Performance

An aluminium front door does not have to mean one architectural style. The Chigwell ranges include bold contemporary entrance doors as well as heritage-inspired aluminium options with slim, steel-look styling.

Colour, glazing and hardware choices vary by range, allowing the finished entrance to be selected around the architecture and character of your property.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS

Explore the experiences of our customers and see firsthand the quality of our work. Each review highlights our dedication to exceptional service, craftsmanship, and customer satisfaction.

Chigwell Windows were polite, professional and efficient. Our sketch was sent over quickly, the install was painless and communications throughout went above and beyond formalities. Renovating can be full of unexpected bumps and obstacles, our windows at least, was one passage of plain sailing and the resulting window - anthracite aluminum - is totally handsome. Transforms our bathroom.

Tanis

As I have used this company over many years 15 plus from when its was a couple of fitters to the size they are today nothing has changed as you still get that personal feeling that gives you a feeling of great workmanship and professional individual's I would recommend any of my closet to use them and take a look at what they offer now.

Anthony

The initial sales contact was excellent, we had gone to a number of suppliers, none could do what we wanted. Chigwell were exceedingly accomodating. As the installation took place we had a number of minor issues. Chigwell rose to the occasion, they went the extra mile to get get everything fixed. There was never a quibble, they were so easy to deal with and everything was completed to an excellent level.

Simon

Used this company before and were so pleased we did not hesitate to use them again. Fitter was excellent, friendly and made sure we were happy with the result. Cleared everything away at the end of the job.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about aluminium front doors, security, finishes and costs. Our showroom team can help you compare the right specification for your home.

Are aluminium front doors secure?

Yes. Aluminium front doors can be specified with high-security locking systems, with PAS 24-tested options available within our ranges. Security specification varies by product, so we will confirm the appropriate locking system and available upgrades for the door you choose.

Are aluminium front doors energy efficient?

Modern aluminium front doors can provide strong thermal performance when correctly specified. Our ranges can use combinations of insulated panels, glazing and weather protection, although exact performance depends on the individual door system and configuration.

Are aluminium front doors better than composite doors?

Neither material is automatically better. Aluminium is particularly well suited to premium and design-led entrances where strength, contemporary styling and extensive finish options are priorities. Composite doors provide a solid feel, strong insulation and a versatile choice for many homes.

Can aluminium front doors suit traditional properties?

Yes. Aluminium is not limited to modern homes. Heritage-style aluminium doors provide slim, steel-look designs that can work with both period and modern properties.

What colours are available for aluminium front doors?

Colour availability depends on the selected range. The aluminium ranges include extensive colour and finish choices, with RAL, textured and other finish options available on particular products.

Can I customise the handles and glazing?

Yes. Depending on the range, aluminium entrance doors can be specified with different glazing and hardware options. The exact choices should be confirmed against the door range you select.

How much does an aluminium front door cost?

There is no single price for every aluminium front door because the final quotation depends on the selected door range and specification. Request a personalised, no-obligation quote based on your requirements.

Can I see aluminium front doors before ordering?

Yes. You can visit one of our six showrooms to discuss front-door options and available displays with our team. If you are interested in a particular range, contact the showroom before visiting to confirm what is currently on display.
