Aluminium vs PVCu french doors
When comparing aluminium vs PVCu french doors, there are a number of important considerations to take into account. For one thing, aluminium’s slimmer sightlines and the ability to create much larger door leaf sizes than PVCu doors are key advantages.
In addition, PVCu doors tend to have significantly chunkier frames, sometimes double those of aluminium, which limits the styling options available. Whilst PVCu doors are are often more affordable than their aluminium counterparts, aluminium French doors are a better long term investment. And when you design these in the latest steel look, industrial and heritage designs, the doors remain timeless and always on-trend. Whatever material you choose for your french doors, it is important to think carefully about the aesthetic and functional needs of your home in order to find the perfect fit for your space. There’s nothing better than aluminium.
