If you’re looking for industrial, Art-Deco or steel look doors to transform your home with timeless style and modern performance, our latest installation in Romford provides all the inspiration you need. We recently fitted a set of steel-look patio doors in Essex, to a new extension in a detached house, creating a show-stopping feature that spans an impressive 9 metres.
A Grand Entrance with Heritage Doors
To achieve the classic steel look patio doors aesthetic, we used our premium aluminium Heritage system.This configuration consists of French doors on each side of the opening, with two large 2.5m wide picture windows in between. 38mm transoms throughout, delivering clean, consistent sightlines
The result is a striking architectural feature that offers expansive views, superb functionality, and an authentic industrial-chic style. By choosing Heritage doors, homeowners can enjoy the traditional appearance of steel while benefiting from the modern advantages of aluminium. The finishing touch is the near-frameless rooflight in the flat roof extension, bringing even more light into the room from above.
Key Features of Our Steel Look Patio Doors
- Authentic styleing with Modern Aluminium.
Our Heritage system is designed to replicate slim steel frames, yet it uses robust aluminium. You get the slim, elegant sightlines of steel but with less maintenance and greater longevity. - High Thermal Performance
Each door is fitted with triple toughened safety glass featuring a soft-coat low-emissivity coating, warm edge spacer bars, and argon gas fill. This glazing substantially reduces heat transfer, keeping your home comfortable while potentially lowering your energy bills. - Secure and Reliable
The French doors on each side include multipoint locking, robust lever handles , internal glazing and safety glass, ensuring an extra layer of protection for your home. - Customisable Style
We powder-coat the frames in sleek , matching the hinges, backplates, and handles for a cohesive finish. In this project, the colour-matched cill completes the look, while trickle vents in the head allow the installation to meet current building regulations.
Spanning 9 metres in total, the new extension in Romford is perfectly complemented by our Heritage doors. The French doors are positioned on each end for easy access, while the central picture windows create a wall of glass. From inside, the homeowners can enjoy uninterrupted garden views and plenty of natural light. On the outside, this steel look patio door arrangement delivers a statement-worthy facade.
As a finishing touch, we fitted black, classically styled handles with a matching backplate—a nod to traditional steel doors that aligns beautifully with the property’s aesthetic. Yet beneath the vintage appeal lie all the benefits of cutting-edge aluminium engineering.
