Weru have the largest range of bespoke aluminium doors in Europe and by updating a property with a new door it can give an instant update. No longer an after-thought, front doors are now becoming a key design choice. Many homeowners are now choosing a stylised aluminium door with unique features such as auto locking, bespoke RAL colour tones and LED lighting. To help customers envisage their new door, Weru offers free, no obligation mock up services where the customer shares a photo of their existing door along with their preferred specification. Take our Weru ATRIS door which brings stylish kerb appeal along with the unrivalled quality that comes with true German engineering. This is one beautiful door, with thousands of bespoke design elements which can make a great feature of any property entrance. We recently worked on a project with House of Canopies that complemented our Sedor entrance door and Afino Tec Windows with timber cladding – a great combination of modern meets Scandinavian design. To make them more sympathetic to a period design, the colour plays a big part. Slate grey, along with Farrow and Ball type colours would be deemed popular with planning and conservation departments. There are so many different shades of grey on the RAL colour chart so this is down to personal taste. We’ve worked on some great projects where the customers have added a pop of colour to their build by making a feature of the front door. We think this bright turquoise looks fabulous and a perfect contrast to the anthracite windows. It’s brave and shows some personality! We also get asked about tinted or reflective glazing for privacy. Most British manufacturers used toughened glazing but our high-quality factory glazed laminate has a natural reflective quality. This photo is an excellent example of gaining some privacy without tinting the glass and making the internal of the room feel very drab. There’s the option of going for a sleek fully glazed door from This design lets in so much natural light but still has privacy with a modern design to create wow factor on your property. With the latest state of the art technology and quadruple glazing as standard, customers often think that aluminium doors won’t suit their property as the designs are too modern or so far from what they currently have in terms of design.
