Transforming a property’s ordinary patio doors into a stylish and eye-catching feature, this recent installation by Cheshire Bespoke Glass and Windows showcases the exceptional quality and versatility of Aluco black heritage French doors. Cheshire Bespoke Glass and Windows, a fully trained and approved Aluco installer, brought their installation expertise and our bespoke manufacturing to create a door set that not only echoes the aesthetics of authentic steel glazing but also delivers modern performance, comfort, and long-term reliability.
Bespoke Black Heritage French Doors.
What sets these particular doors apart is the exclusive floating lock design, a hallmark of Aluco’s innovative approach to reimagining classic steel doors. Unlike conventional steel-look alternatives that rely on added dummy sashes or multiple profiles to achieve the desired style, the floating lock system integrates seamlessly into the glass. This approach minimises frame bulk and enhances the door’s clean lines, creating an ultra-slim, visually balanced set of French doors. At just 20mm, the glazing bars closely replicate those found on genuine metal doors, ensuring the overall dimensions and sightlines are more akin to steel than standard aluminium solutions.
Curved glazing bars for a timeless look.
The attention to detail does not stop at creating the hand-made floating lock and 20mm glazing bars. We’ve also crafted a curved set of glazing bars to the upper glazed panel of the black heritage French doors.
The matt finish is the most desirable with steel-inspired and heritage doors, and using the period brass handle provides the perfect finishing touch.
The property’s interior decor is a great match for these new doors. Burnt orange armchairs and carefully selected furnishings create a warm, inviting room, with ultra slim doors to enjoy the patio area and garden.
The gentle curve of the glazing bars at the top of the doors adds a subtle, classic touch—softening the overall look and working harmoniously with the interior’s refined, cosy style. Subtle details that all work together to transform a room.
Aluco French Doors. expertly crafted.
Beneath the visually stunning exterior lies a wealth of engineering prowess. These Aluco doors are crafted to exacting standards, ensuring that their slender profiles do not come at the expense of durability or functionality.
Despite their slim frames, these doors provide dependable security, thanks to a multipoint locking system and a high-security key cylinder. Occupants can rest easy knowing that style has not been prioritised over safety. Moreover, the doors deliver excellent weather performance, with robust sealing and precision fitting to guard against drafts and moisture ingress.
Energy efficiency is another key benefit, with each door set incorporating high-specification insulated glass units. Toughened safety glass, a soft-coat low-emissivity coating, warm edge spacer bars, and argon gas filling work together to help maintain a stable, comfortable indoor climate all year round.
The project also highlights the importance of choosing a reputable, experienced installer. Cheshire Bespoke Glass and Windows’ understanding of Aluco’s product range and their meticulous approach to installation ensured a flawless finish and trouble-free operation. This level of professionalism and expertise underscores the advantage of working with Aluco Approved Installers—specialists who appreciate the finer points of steel-look systems and can guide homeowners through the process of selecting, customising, and fitting their doors.
The end result is more than just a set of doors; it’s a carefully considered addition to the room in this Cheshire home, enhancing its character, usability, and market appeal.
