What affects the price of an aluminium front door
Size and glazing. Larger doors and doors with more glass or added sidelights and fanlights cost more. Slim aluminium frames allow bigger glazed panels than other materials.
Colour and finish. A standard RAL colour such as anthracite grey is usually included or a small upcharge. Dual colour and non-standard or textured finishes add cost.
Security and hardware. Multipoint locking is standard on a quality aluminium door. Upgraded handles, letterplates, spy holes and smart locks add to the price.
Glass and thermal performance. Toughened and obscure glass, and higher-spec double or triple glazing for warmth, add cost.
Aluminium vs composite vs uPVC front doors
Aluminium is the premium choice. For comparison, a composite front door typically costs around £1,800 to £3,500 installed, and a uPVC door around £1,200 to £2,200 installed. You pay more for aluminium, but you get slimmer sightlines, larger glazed panels, excellent durability and a long service life, which suits modern and contemporary homes best.
Supply only vs supply and fit
Supply only is the lowest-cost route: you receive the made-to-measure door and use your own fitter, saving the installation margin. Supply and fit costs more but the installer handles measuring, fitting and sign-off. If you already have a trusted trade on your project, supply only is usually the better value.
