Why Attlas are some of the best aluminium front doors

At Attlas Doors, we are passionate about providing affordable, feature-rich, high-specification front doors. The doors we craft represent craftsmanship and build quality, usually reserved for much more expensive door systems.  The best way to understand the quality and passion that goes into making your new front door is to see them and try them out. Here is everything you need to know about Attlas Doors and why they’re some of the best aluminium front doors.

The best aluminium front doors start with the profiles.

Smart Systems, the UK’s biggest and one of the longest-established system houses, extrudes the aluminium profiles.  Smart Systems has arguably the most advanced facility in the UK, designing, extruding, professionally coating and distributing aluminium. We have partnered with Smart Systems for many years.

The Smart System we use for our aluminium profiles is one of the UK’s most trusted and reliable systems, with a proven track record for delivering quality and performance. This system ensures that every Attlas front door is aesthetically pleasing, structurally sound, and designed to withstand the rigours of daily use. Whether you’re looking for a door for your home or a commercial property, our doors provide the durability and security you need without compromising style.

The design needs to be right to give you the best aluminium front doors.  Attlas doors have cutting-edge and latest-generation aluminium profiles, complemented by equally superb, thick thermal aluminium panels. These panels provide 22 different designs for your home or commercial property.

Attlas doors come with thick and highly insulated panels, which are completely solid or have glass accents and inserts for when you also need light through your new front doors. The door panels all come with 1.5mm thick skins on each side, a superb colour finish and thick thermal insulation. You benefit from a new front door having the perfect blend of strength, style, and security. Whether you’re looking for a contemporary design or a more traditional style, our range of 22 distinct door models offers the ideal solution for homeowners who seek a balance of aesthetics, performance, and value.

Even more reasons to choose Attlas Front Doors?

One of the key reasons homeowners choose Attlas front doors is the excellent value they offer compared to other aluminium and composite door systems on the market.  The standout features of our doors are their specifications, technical superiority, capability, incredible price point, and value proposition.

Only when you see, touch and feel a new Attlas front door is the quality evident. Perfectly crafted, and beautifully weighted, with luxury door handles and premium locking systems. Attlas front doors deliver the same high-end look and feel as much more expensive aluminium doors.

At Attlas, we created the best aluminium front doors using the best aluminium profiles and hardware, certified colour finishes, quality glass and precision craftsmanship. As a result, Attlas’ front doors are

• Priced to be better than composite doors.
• More compelling than timber or hybrid doors.

For just a little more than a cheap composite door or at virtually the same money as the premium composite door brands, you can enjoy the benefits of aluminium—such as superior durability, low maintenance, and the elimination of common issues like warping or swelling that plague composite doors as they age. 

Better aluminium front doors designed for everyday use

Attlas front doors also offer exceptional weather resistance. Each door is designed to keep out rain, wind, and cold while maintaining its good looks over time. Our high-quality powder coating on every door ensures long-lasting protection against the elements, including UV rays and coastal environments, where saltwater can cause corrosion on lesser products.

We even offer a marine-grade coating option for those who live in particularly harsh environments, ensuring your door remains as pristine as the day it was installed.

The Attlas Door Range: A Design for Every Home

At Attlas, we understand that every home is unique, which is why our front-door collection offers various designs to suit both contemporary and traditional properties. Whether you’re looking for a sleek, modern door with large glass panels or a more classic design that complements a period home, 22 different styles and designs promise something for every home and budget.

Our collection is divided into three main variants:

The Signature Collection has five special designs taking inspiration from classic timber doors. Ideal for the replacement of your old wood or plastic doors, Signature is ideal when you love the classic and timeless front door look.

Next is the With Glass Collection, which comprises our high specification and thermally superior aluminium panels, combined with our premium safety glass units.  This Collection is for those that don’t want a solid front door but need some light to come through into the hallway or reception area. There is an excellent range of large and small glass panels depending on the level of light and privacy you want.

Seven further front doors are solid panel designs intended for those who don’t need glass vision panels in their doors. Perhaps light is coming in from side windows, or you want the best protection in your front door. The solid panel designs are also perfect for commercial installations and developments of flats and houses.  We frequently provide these doors for bike stores, bin sheds, garage doors or doors in parking areas.

Each door in the range is available in standard colours such as grey, white, and black for fast delivery. If you’re looking for something more personalised, we also offer custom RAL colour options that allow you to match your new front door perfectly with your home’s existing décor.

In addition to various designs, Attlas doors come with customisable hardware options. Choose from different handle styles, including lever handles, round bar handles, and rectangular bar handles, all crafted from marine-grade stainless steel for durability and style. You can also select from options like low thresholds, sidelights, and toplights to create a front door that meets your exact specifications, both in terms of aesthetics and functionality.

The best front doors are energy efficient.

Our front doors aren’t just about looks—they’re built with cutting-edge technology that ensures they perform as well as they look. The frame and sash profiles all feature deep polyamide thermal breaks, providing excellent thermal properties and preventing cold bridging.  The aluminium profiles combine the thick thermal aluminium panels and high-specification safety glass.

With rising energy costs and increasing awareness of environmental impact, it’s more important than ever to choose a front door that offers excellent thermal performance. Attlas front doors are designed to be highly energy-efficient, thanks to insulated aluminium profiles and panels, as well as low-emissivity safety glass. These features help to minimise heat transfer, keeping your home comfortable year-round while reducing the need for heating and cooling. Whether you’re in the depths of winter or the height of summer, your Attlas door will help maintain a stable indoor temperature and save on energy bills.

Your new front door has U-Values as low as 1.4Wm2K or less. This means that your home will stay warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer, reducing energy consumption and helping you save on your heating and cooling bills.

Attlas front Doors. Durability and Security You Can Rely On

Every Attlas front door is built with longevity in mind. Made from high-grade aluminium, our doors are stronger and more durable than composite or timber alternatives. Aluminium is naturally resistant to corrosion, and with our high-quality powder coatings, your door will remain free from rust, scratches, and fading for years to come.

The door panels are constructed using 1.5mm thick aluminium sheets, bonded to a BRE A+ Rated CFC-free expanded panel Polycore core. This innovative design not only ensures superior thermal performance but also contributes to the door’s overall strength and security.

Security is a top priority for homeowners, and we make sure that every Attlas front door meets or exceeds industry standards. Our doors are equipped with multipoint locking systems as standard, engaging at multiple points along the door frame to provide robust protection against forced entry. Each door is also fitted with high-quality locking systems from top brands like Yale, Winkhaus, and Mila, ensuring that your home is protected by the best security technology available. In addition, our doors are tested to PAS 24 standards, meaning they have been rigorously evaluated to resist various forms of attack, including drilling, picking, and forced entry using tools.
