Appearance and design
Aluminium doors offer slimmer profiles and often look more modern. Plastic doors are generally somewhat bulkier but available in many colours and with aluminium cladding also in RAL colours. Both materials are suitable for timeless and individual design.
Insulation and energy efficiency
Both materials achieve very good Uw values. High-quality plastic doors (5–6 chambers) and aluminium doors with thermal break are often in the same range. The choice depends on the profile system and equipment.
Price and applications
Plastic doors are often the more economical option with comparable equipment. Aluminium doors score with special colours, slim design and particularly demanding facades. Both are suitable for new builds and renovation.
Maintenance and durability
Aluminium and plastic are both low-maintenance and durable. Aluminium is corrosion-resistant, plastic does not fade and retains its colour. Both materials impress with decades of durability.
