At Select Products, we have seen a rise in demand for both aluminium and uPVC doors. They offer many advantages for your home, but you might be wondering which one is right for you. This article will explore these benefits, helping you make an informed decision.

Our uPVC doors offer durability, flexibility, and extra security for homeowners in Leeds and the surrounding areas. They come with advanced double glazing as standard, which helps keep your home protected for a very long time. We also offer a bespoke service where you can choose from a wide selection of styles and colours so we can tailor the door to your specific requirements.

Security is one of the most important features of your home. uPVC doors are lightweight but sturdy because the double glazing works in combination with multi point locking systems to ensure intruders won’t be able to break in. That way, you and your family will be kept safe. You can upgrade your home with triple glazing to bolster your security even more. The doors are Secured by Design accredited, which is an initiative that is backed by the police to ensure every home is safe to live in. When you choose Select Products,  feel confident that your home is in safe hands.

Another strong selling point of uPVC is its low maintenance design, so you don’t have to worry about cleaning it. The only thing you need to do is wipe the doors down with a damp cloth, and they will look in spotless condition. This will help clean mould spots and dirt easier, meaning the doors last for decades. We even offer realistic woodgrain finishes which lets you enjoy the timber look without needing to repaint it.

 

uPVC doors are thermally efficient because the double glazing offers a robust thermal barrier that traps natural heat in your home and leaves cold air outside. This helps you save money on energy bills and reduce your carbon footprint, protecting your home from the environment. uPVC doors offer outstanding insulation properties, reducing condensation and preventing damp spots from appearing. As well as being a strong insulator of heat, they are good at reducing noise pollution too, which is perfect if you are in a busy area or a loud neighbourhood.

In comparison, aluminium doors won’t rust, warp, or fade in tough conditions. This is because they will handle whatever the weather throws, keeping you and your family safe and comfortable.  Furthermore, all our aluminium doors come with a polyamide thermal break which retains natural heat and leaves cold air outside, saving you plenty of money on your energy bills.

The doors also offer outstanding levels of security because they are equipped with multi-point locking systems and shootbolt techniques, which will protect your home from any potential break-ins. Furthermore, the addition of dual locking will ensure you get the most protection. Your door will benefit from Smart hardware, which gives you long life protection and incredible durability thanks to various configurations. It can even include a side light to see who comes to your door.

Similar to uPVC, aluminium offers plenty of colours and finishes for you to choose from. Choose a vibrant colour to stand out or a muted colour that blends seamlessly in your home. Our range includes shiny reds and pastel blues to bronzes and silver. We offer every colour you can think of, so whatever you choose, we have something right for you. But that’s not all, but we offer a colour match service for your hardware and accessories, so everything combines naturally. This helps your home stand out even more with an infinite amount of design options for you to look at.

Aluminium doors come with a low threshold option, making them accessible for wheelchairs and pushchairs. This is perfect for extra gatherings and offers a wealth of customisation options. It also offers outstanding acoustic insulation that protects you from outside noises, so you and your family benefit from extra privacy.
