Aluminium products no installer should be without this year

There are a few new outdoor living trends garden and landscape experts in the UK are predicting will take over this year as well as the “show off your garden” philosophy that is always popular. One is the idea of blending together the classic with contemporary, and this is a sentiment where aluminium entrance styles can help, namely bi-fold doors and large glass patio doors. For many consumers, outdoor living is not strictly about the old or new any longer, it’s about combining both in a compelling and attractive way that makes sense for the home.

While any set aluminium bi-fold doors will do a great job of letting natural light to enter properties, if you’re serious about offering end users the sleekest, most natural method of tying the inside and outside along with the classic and modern, it might be worth considering a specific system which specialises in providing slimline profiles and reduced sightlines such as the Visofold 1000 from Smarts.

Likewise, those wishing to provide homeowners with some of the best thermal performance in addition to outside views will take comfort in Synseal’s WarmCore bi-fold door range. This system is specifically designed with exceedingly required building regulations in mind too, so your job will be made a little easier.

This year is also expected to see an increase in the environmentally conscious consumer, resulting in another reason why aluminium is an essential in order to capitalise on outdoor living trends. It’s no secret that aluminium is the most sustainable material out of the big three, having the longest lifespan with a high recyclability factor. This makes offering aluminium products such as roof lanterns and glass-box style extensions of value to customers concerned with reducing their home’s carbon foot print.
