How Do Heritage Doors Enhance Property Value?
At Door Lab, we’ve seen a significant rise in demand for aluminium heritage doors, as more homeowners and developers embrace the timeless elegance and modern performance they offer.
In this blog, we’ll explore the aesthetic appeal of heritage-style doors, their suitability for conservation projects, and the many benefits of choosing aluminium heritage doors from Door Lab.
What Are Heritage-Style Doors?
Heritage-style doors replicate the classic steel door look while incorporating modern innovations in performance, efficiency, and durability through the use of aluminium frames.
While these doors are a perfect fit for listed buildings and conservation areas, they have also become a favourite in contemporary architectural design due to their ability to blend timeless style with high-performance benefits.
How Energy Efficient Are Heritage Doors?
Heritage doors provide the best of both worlds—classic charm with modern energy efficiency.
At Door Lab, our heritage doors feature advanced polyamide thermal break technology, allowing them to meet and exceed current energy efficiency regulations, including Document L 2010. With U-values as low as 1.5 W/m²K (using sealed units rated at 1.0 W/m²K), our doors help reduce heat loss and maintain a comfortable indoor environment year-round.
How Secure Are Heritage-Style Doors?
Our heritage doors are built with modern security features to provide peace of mind while maintaining their traditional aesthetics.
At Door Lab, our casement windows and fixed lights meet security performance standards, ensuring robust protection. Our doors also feature multi-point locking systems, face-mounted shoot bolts.
What Colours Are Heritage Doors Available In?
While heritage doors maintain a traditional appearance, they can be tailored to suit any design preference.
Door Lab offers an extensive selection of over 200 RAL colours, with durable, powder-coated marine-grade finishes that come with a 20-year guarantee. Additionally, our marine-grade stainless steel hardware ensures durability and longevity. For those needing fast turnaround times, we also stock popular colours like black and grey, with lead times as short as 4 weeks.
Which Aluminium Brand Is Best for Heritage Doors?
