Aluminium black double doors

Why Customers Choose Alitherm Heritage Doors

Here is what matters most at a glance:

  • Authentically slim sightlines — Signature slim sightlines and attractive contours make it the ideal choice for heritage building conservation areas where building regulations demand a like-for-like replacement.
  • Three door configurations — Available as single, double or bi-folding doors, the heritage range has been designed to meet stricter planning restrictions often associated with older listed buildings, giving customers the option to use aluminium doors when planning restrictions would otherwise have prevented it.
  • Proven thermal performance — The system has all the advantages of modern aluminium profiles that feature polyamide thermal breaks, allowing the system to achieve a U-value of 1.5 W/m²K when installed with a suitable sealed unit.
  • Window Energy Rating B — The Alitherm Heritage door and window range achieves a window energy rating of ‘B’ and a U-value of 1.5W/m²K using the correct glass unit.
  • Multi-point security locking — Multi-point locking systems and face-mounted shoot bolts are included as standard.
  • Period-perfect hardware — All Alitherm Heritage ranges are available with a full suite of hardware options, synonymous with Victorian and Art Deco styles — including ‘Monkey Tail’ and ‘Bulb’ options.
  • Full colour range — Available in any of over 200 RAL colours, including metallic, Smart Sensations textured and Alchemy anodised effect finishes.
    Dual colour also available.
  • Zero maintenance — No repainting, no rust, no warping. A simple wipe-down keeps them looking their best for decades.

What Are Alitherm Heritage Doors?

The steel look, without the steel problems.

Taking inspiration from traditional steel doors, Alitherm Heritage features signature slim sightlines and attractive aesthetic contours — coupled with polyamide thermal break technology for enhanced thermal performance.

Thermal performance that outperforms steel.

The system achieves a U-value of 1.5 W/m²K when installed with a suitable sealed unit.The thermal conductivity of polyamide is 160 times better than steel — saving around £95 each year in fuel costs for a typical terraced house.

Three configurations. Every opening covered.

Alitherm Heritage doors are available as single, double or bi-folding doors— all made to measure for your exact opening, with multi-point locking and face-mounted shoot bolts as standard.

A Perfect Match for Your Heritage Windows

Alitherm Heritage door profiles feature the system’s signature slim sightlines and elegant lines that complement Smart’s existing Alitherm Heritage windows and mimic those of steel doors.

Whether you’re pairing them with our Alitherm Heritage Windows or replacing existing steel balcony doors on a period conversion, the profiles align precisely — same sightlines, same finishes, same hardware family. The whole scheme looks considered and intentional, which matters enormously on sensitive projects.

Planning Approved. Conservation Ready.

The Alitherm Heritage door provides the solution for conservation areas where planning regulations require a like-for-like product replacement.The range has been approved for use by many local authorities, including London boroughs and CADW — the Welsh government’s historic environment service.

If you’re navigating a planning application or working with a conservation officer, this level of recognised credibility can make a genuine difference to your project timeline. Our team understands these projects inside out and will guide you through every step.
