Replacing a set of dated patio doors leading from the dining room into the garden are a set of Aluco steel look French doors in Cheshire. Radcliffe Glass—a trusted, Aluco-approved dealer based in Manchester—introduced a fresh, contemporary twist on a classic design.
The homeowners selected Aluco’s Exterior Collection: elegant steel-look French doors flanked by side panels and topped with additional glazed sections, all carefully proportioned using three 43mm glazing bars. The result is a balanced, refined aesthetic that honours the home’s character while opening it up to more natural light and improved views.
At the same time, new doors were required to improve security, energy efficiency, and weather protection over the old doors. With thermally insulated frames, a durable and professionally applied colour finish, high performance safety glass and premium hardware and components, Aluco steel look doors were the ideal choice. Of course, they also provided the homeowner with a fresh yet timeless new look, only the steel-inspired look in every Aluco product provides.
Black Aluco Steel look French Doors in Cheshire.
Finished in a deep black (RAL 9005) with colour-matched handles and hardware, these doors bring a confident, understated style that complements both the home’s traditional features and its newly refreshed outdoor space.
Inside, the dining area feels brighter and more welcoming, thanks to the slimmer frames and generous glazing. Outside, the sleek lines create a seamless transition to the contemporary patio and neatly tended garden.
Behind the timeless appearance lies practical engineering. Toughened safety glass, low-emissivity coatings, warm edge spacer bars, and argon gas filling ensure excellent energy performance and year-round comfort.
The best French doors for your home.
Despite the intricate detailing and glass area, these doors use a standard threshold, which is still low enough for convenience but takes advantage of complete weather protection at the bottom of the doors. The multipoint locking system and durable construction add a reassuring sense of security. The final locking is via a three-star rated key cylinder, the most secure type of rating.
In essence, these Aluco Exterior Collection doors, expertly supplied and fitted by Radcliffe Glass, have replaced something ordinary with something memorable. They provide a subtle yet meaningful upgrade, enhancing both the everyday enjoyment of the dining room and the overall look and feel of this cherished home.
Even better, the exemplary design behind every Aluco door ensures the balance, symmetry and aesthetic appeal that make our doors the most authentic and closest to steel doors.
