Are aluminium doors good for the environment?

We are all working towards eco-friendly living by recycling at home, ditching plastic shopping bags and using ‘bags for life’, switching to electric cars, using LED bulbs, composting, installing solar panels and avoiding single use plastics.  But when renovating or building our homes, do we think about the materials our doors are made of? 

When you are looking for new sliding doors for your home, are you thinking about how they will look, will they save you money on heating bills, or are you trying to protect the planet by reducing your carbon footprint?  Choosing new doors goes beyond just specifying double glazing. Here we discuss the use of aluminium and its benefits for the environment and your home.

Is aluminium environmentally friendly?

Manufacturing and construction industries always favour a material which is light, strong and recyclable, and aluminium is the perfect product due to its strength, durability, strength and low maintenance, thus giving architects the ability to be more creative with evermore complicated structures. Sustainability is the buzz word in the world of interior design and architects are striving to develop projects that do not harm the environment but deliver the wow factor.

Why is aluminium called the ‘green metal’? 

Aluminium is called the green metal because it is so environmentally friendly. It is 100 percent recyclable, and recycling this green metal saves 95 percent of the energy required to produce aluminium from raw materials. It is also estimated that 75 percent of the new aluminium produced since the 1880s remains in circulation today!

Aluminium - good for the environment

Aluminium doors will not warp, crack, peel or rust and are weatherproof, as they are easily able to deal with rain, wind, snow and sun without fading or corroding. There is no need to fill, sand, varnish or paint aluminium doors to keep them looking their best, just a simple wipe down with soapy water will do the trick. With thermal break technology, aluminium doors are designed to keep the cold out and the warmth in, keeping heating bills down and saving money, which is especially important now with winter setting in and energy costs soaring.
