Why aluminium front doors are a winner

Discover their benefits

THE TOP CHOICE IN EVERY RESPECT

Aluminium front doors rank at the very top of the popularity charts for a reason. They are characterised by numerous exceptional qualities, from durability to excellent insulation properties and security. When these qualities are combined with Porteal’s traditional quality and leading technological innovations, the right choice is clear.

Everything you need for a sophisticated entrance. And more!

Discover why aluminium is the perfect material for a front door

Choose a material that sets new standards in durability, energy efficiency and door design. Aluminium allows for extremely precise manufacturing, which is essential for products with high insulating performance. It also means that aluminium front doors can be customised to meet a wide range of technical and aesthetic requirements.
The main advantages of aluminium front doors:
Structural stability
No more warping, ill-fitting doors and no more thermal bridges
Acoustic and thermal insulation
Reduce your heating costs and ensure a quieter home.
Intruder protection
Make sure your home is always a safe haven
Long lifespan
Buy once, enjoy decades of use
Countless design possibilities
Modern minimalism or warm and rustic? Boundaries are merely a source of inspiration.
Environmentally friendly material
At the end of the door’s service life, the aluminium is 100% recyclable.

Make no compromise

Instead, kit out your entrance with a first-class Porteal aluminium door that meets the highest criteria for a modern, safe and energy-efficient home.

As good as new – even after years of use

Aluminium is perfectly able to withstand the environmental conditions, from dirt to the extreme weather we have witnessed in recent years.
At Porteal, we combine its standard durability with exceptional protection. The exterior surfaces of the doors are treated with a high-quality powder coating, applied by our robotic paint shop. In this way, we ensure that:
  • no marks are left by keys or animal paws,
  • regular cleaning is enough to keep it looking great.
So your entrance will look as good as new for many years to come. No need for repainting or additional maintenance.

Save money and care for the environment at the same time

Retain the warmth from the heating system or the coolness from the air conditioning in your home. We‘ve combined the exceptional insulating properties of aluminium with an innovative insulating filler, and we’ve also ensured first-class energy efficiency with:
  • an above average door thickness
  • triple glazing as standard, and
  • three continuous seals.
Porteal aluminium front doors are therefore not only an investment in a more energy-efficient home, but by reducing energy consumption they contribute to a more environmentally friendly home.

Swap worry for more security

Porteal aluminium doors already offer outstanding intruder protection as standard. This is ensured by the highest quality materials and a wide range of basic security features, including:
  • extra-thick aluminium panels (outer and inner),
  • 3-piece security door hinges, and
  • 5-point locking.
  •  
Certified intruder protection packages RC2 and RC3 are also available as an option and include impact-resistant glass.

No sanding, painting, varnishing ...

Entrance doors are exposed to the external environment on a daily basis, so proper maintenance is essential for their longevity.
Porteal aluminium front doors are also a hit in this respect because:
  • they do not require special maintenance or fresh coats of paint, unlike wooden doors.
  • they only need to be cleaned a few times a year with special aluminium paint cleaners to look their best.

Doors that don’t warp

Aluminium front doors are extremely resistant to temperature changes due to their structural stability.
This is particularly important in the summer and winter months, when there can be large differences between the temperature inside and outside.
These can cause a door panel to warp in poorer quality doors, leading to poorer sealing and heat loss.
With Porteal’s aluminium front doors, there is no such risk. The innovative door panel with its patented expansion layer ensures exceptional stability, even under extreme conditions.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Aluminum doors have many advantages, such as durability, long life, good insulating properties and security. This is why they are becoming increasingly popular. Unlike wooden front doors, they do not require much maintenance in the form of sanding, repainting and varnishing, and they are very easy to clean. The main advantage of aluminium doors compared to PVC doors is their structural stability, as they are resistant to temperature extremes and do not warp. Every material has its advantages and the right choice is largely a matter of personal taste, as both aluminium doors and wooden or PVC doors can be of very high quality.

At Porteal, we do not quote prices for our aluminium front doors, as they depend on the individual model and the chosen accessories. Each of our doors is unique, made to the customer’s exact specifications, so the price varies from configuration to configuration. To receive an illustrative quotation for your chosen door, simply create one using the configurator or submit an enquiry. You can also visit us in our showroom, where we will be happy to help you make your choice and calculate for you the exact price of the desired configuration.

Aluminium front doors are a godsend in terms of maintenance, as they require very little upkeep. Just cleaning them a few times a year with a special cleaner for painted aluminium surfaces, or by using a mild pH neutral or alkaline cleaner when wiping them down, is enough. The best care for your front door can be achieved with proprietary cleaning products.

The easiest way to personalise your door is to use our online configurator. In it, you first select the model you want and then customise its dimensions, glazing, colour, and accessories such as the locking method or the canopy. You can also upload a photo of your home to the configurator and paste the door you have just designed into it to check if your design looks right. You can also save the configuration and change it later, or share it with your loved ones or your architect.

PORTEAL aluminum entrance doors are already extremely secure as standard, as they are equipped with a 5-point lock, safety hinges and a rosette, even in the basic versions. Their outer and inner panels are thicker than average and offer an additional level of protection. We also offer optional impact-resistant and shatter-resistant safety glass and other safety features to achieve RC 2 or RC 3 levels of protection.
