When choosing the glazing material for a self-build, renovation or extension project, there’s more to the decision than meets the eye. Consideration needs to be made regarding cost, quality engineering, style and thermal efficiency. Aluminium is a fantastic option that ticks all of the boxes when installing bifold door or roof lanterns, take a look below to find out how choosing aluminium glazing added the finishing touch to these projects.

1. A High-quality Finish

Glazing can take up a sizable proportion of a project’s budget, so ensuring you choose a material that will stand the test of time is an investment worth making. As well as providing a striking addition to a home, aluminium is an inherently strong and secure material. While manufacturers hold safety to a high standard and will specify credentials for door fixtures, be sure to look for aluminium patio doors that comply with the PAS24 standard (which goes over and above the security standards for doors).

2. Modernise a Dated House

Windows are one of the most influential aspects when it comes to updating a tired home during a renovation or extension project so why not make them unique to your style? Not only can aluminium be powder coated to white, black and grey options, but many manufacturers offer RAL colours to inspire bolder designs.
