Shop front doors made from aluminium have become the go-to for many successful businesses and stores.
This is largely because aluminium is a material known for its impressive durability and huge amount of customisation options to help create the ideal first impression, providing a professional aesthetic with enhanced security features.
Everyday customers and visitors will no doubt appreciate the lightweight feel of aluminium, a lightweight opening which will make your shop accessible for all.
At Techniglaze, we supply and install a huge range of entrance doors, perfect for shops. This blog will explore their benefits, options available, and next steps for you to create the ideal gateway to your store.
Aluminium shop front doors boast remarkable durability and longevity, ideal for high-traffic areas like shops.
The corrosion-resistant properties of aluminium ensure minimal wear over time, even in demanding weather conditions and with heavy-handed customers.
With its lightweight yet robust construction, a high quality aluminium shop front can withstand years of use without deterioration, making it a cost-effective choice in the long run.
This durability translates to lower maintenance costs and a lasting investment for your commercial building. With the right care, aluminium shop fronts can maintain their pristine look for years to come.
Aluminium shop front doors are known for their energy efficiency and insulation properties.
The material’s profile helps maintain a consistent temperature inside, reducing the energy required for heating or cooling.
The insulation provided by aluminium helps keep the indoor environment comfortable regardless of external weather conditions.
These features make aluminium shop front doors a sustainable choice for commercial buildings, ensuring cost savings on energy bills and creating a comfortable space for customers and employees alike.
Using aluminium is a great way to make your business an eco-friendly one.
This is because aluminium can be recycled several times without losing its quality, making it an environmentally-friendly choice.
When upgrading to an aluminium shop front door, the customisation options are limitless.
At Techniglaze, our new shopfront doors are available in over 200 colours from the RAL colour chart, meaning you can opt for any aesthetic you like – whether it’s something minimalist or more standout.
Aside from the RAL colour chart, we also offer popular choices from the Smarts Cotswold range, such as the stunning Cotswold Green, Westonbirt Leaf, and Bourton Cream.
Aluminium shop fronts offer a valuable opportunity to align your door design with your brand identity.
Thanks to their wide range of customisation options, you can match your corporate image by selecting your corporate colours. These brand RAL colours, as well as logo placement, can enhance your storefront’s visual appeal and reinforce brand recognition.
At Techniglaze, our front doors can also be installed with a variety of different glass types.
Glazed with high-performance glass from either Pilkington, Guardian, or Saint Gobain, you can choose specialist glass in energy efficiency, self-cleansing, natural light intake, privacy, or whatever you desire.
At Techniglaze, our aluminium shop front doors offer advanced locking systems, significantly increasing their security.
We understand that securing your store is a priority, which is why we place so much emphasis on manufacturing secure entrance doors, and thoroughly testing the advanced locking systems on each door in-house.
Aluminium shop front doors boast remarkable impact resistance, ensuring enhanced safety for your commercial building.
With durable construction and safety glass options, these doors provide security in various weather conditions.
The lightweight yet robust nature of aluminium profiles combined with advanced locking systems offers peace of mind against potential intrusions.
By prioritising safety without compromising on style, aluminium commercial doors are a reliable choice for business owners seeking both security and aesthetics.
When comparing maintenance costs, aluminium shopfront doors come out on top. Unlike other materials such as wood or steel, aluminium doors require minimal upkeep. This is due to their durability and resistance to corrosion.
Wooden doors for example may require regular painting or staining to maintain their appearance and protect them from the elements. Steel doors on the other hand can be prone to rust, especially in areas with high humidity or exposure to moisture. In contrast, aluminium doors are resistant to corrosion and do not require painting or sealing to maintain their integrity.
The low maintenance of aluminium doors not only saves you money on repairs and replacements but also reduces the time and effort required to keep them in excellent condition.
This makes them an ideal choice for busy commercial establishments that prioritise convenience and cost-effectiveness.
The lifespan of an aluminium shop front door is one of its greatest advantages. With proper installation and regular maintenance, aluminium doors can last for decades, providing excellent value for money over their lifespan.
Furthermore, reputable manufacturers with years of experience in the industry like our expert installation team at Techniglaze can offer expert advice and high-quality products that are built to last.
By choosing a trusted supplier, you can have peace of mind knowing that your aluminium door is of the highest quality and will provide exceptional value for your investment.
When upgrading to an aluminium shop front door, it’s crucial to seek professional assessment and fitting services. Professional installers have the knowledge and expertise to evaluate your specific needs and recommend the most suitable door configuration for your commercial establishment.
During the assessment process, factors such as footfall, security requirements, and aesthetic preferences are taken into consideration to ensure that the door meets your expectations. Professional installers can provide valuable insights and guidance, helping you make informed decisions about the design and functionality of your shop’s front door.
Once the assessment is complete, the installation process can begin. Professional installers have the necessary tools and equipment to carry out the installation efficiently, minimising disruption to your business operations. They ensure that the door is fitted securely and correctly, guaranteeing its performance and longevity.
Choosing an aluminium shop front door from a reputable supplier ensures ongoing support and access to warranties. Reputable suppliers prioritise customer satisfaction and provide comprehensive after-sales support.
Ongoing support may include regular maintenance, repairs, and inspections to ensure the continued performance and longevity of your door. Professional suppliers like ourselves at Techniglaze have dedicated customer service teams that can address any concerns or queries you may have, providing prompt and efficient solutions.
Warranties are another essential aspect of the after-sales support provided by reputable suppliers.

We are delighted with the windows, and have already been complimented by our neighbours on the upgrade.
Tyler and Paul were very professional and showed good initiative for the inevitable adjustments that needed to be made. They were particularly considerate of our house, it’s character and our pets! Please pass on our thanks and comments as appropriate.
We are delighted with the windows. As you know we were concerned that they would look different and more “clunky” but really you can’t tell the difference except that the new ones are not falling apart!!! The guys who did the fitting were also good. They were working in freezing fog, really cold but they carried on regardless, they were extremely tidy and cleared up after themselves.
I am delighted with the recent installation, it’s good to look out of clear windows. The work was carried out professionally by two excellent gentleman.
I will not hesitate to contact you when I am ready to replace others, also would certainly recommend you to others.
Really impressed with the customer service and professionalism from everyone at Techniglaze. Especially liked the follow up call after our doors were fitted to make sure we were happy. Would definitely recommend.
Excellent. This company really care about doing a great job. Roger and Keith have been very helpful and explaining things in detail that a lay person may not understand.
Excellent customer service, range of products and attention to detail. I honestly can’t rate them highly enough. They stepped in and came to the rescue after Salisbury glass cost us 8 months of time and 100k in increased material costs.
These guys have been great to us. Helped us out at short notice after we were badly let down by another supplier. We asked for several minor details that were not standard (e.g. different locking mechanisms), and they were flexible and open to ideas. We ended up also commissioning our front door from them; it is super sturdy and beautiful. Always courteous, professional, and good payment terms.
First class service for my window repair, with tricky access issues and a large, heavy glazed unit to install. Really glad I chose this company.
I was looking for a company that could deliver a bespoke pair of roof lights in the Alitherm system. Techniglaze offered the best price and worked with us to ensure the sizes were exactly right and conducted the sales process very professionally. The product is first class and we are exceptionally pleased with the service and product. I can highly recommend Techniglaze.
