What to look for in an aluminium patio door supply-only service
Alexandra works in the marketing department, and in 2014, bought her first house, which turned out to be somewhat of a ‘project’. Since then, the whole house has needed renovating, which has helped her gain a knowledge of basic DIY, decorating and making the best of a small space.
Every year, there are around 40,000 properties developed in the UK. However, this demand requires a vast number of high-quality windows and doors for each individual property. As a property developer, it is important to prioritise quality when finding both a patio door and a supplier. Aluminium patio doors are popular amongst property development projects; however, it can be difficult to know which type of service and supplier could benefit your development the most.

What are the benefits of aluminium patio doors?
It’s incredibly important to make sure you choose the right material for your patio doors, as this will impact your entire property development. Encouraging the maximum amount of natural light coming into a property, patio doors connect the indoor and outdoor space and create a sense of character and personality to the infrastructure.
It is vital to choose a durable material for a patio door, as this will impact a door’s practicality and lifespan. The material you choose will not only affect the appearance of your development, but will also have an impact on weather protection, security, energy rating, strength and other factors.
Many property developers favour the use of aluminium when choosing a patio door for a development, as it has many benefits and is known as a durable yet environmentally friendly option. In addition to patio doors, aluminium can be used for a range of doors and windows, including front doors, garage doors, and even internal doors, which offer different finishes and personalisation options such as double or triple glazing, handles and hardware.
Below is a list of some of the benefits of using aluminium for patio doors:
- They are durable – their resilience allows them to last for years, making them much more cost-effective. Aluminium is also a more durable option than other popular materials such as timber, and also provides a low maintenance alternative as it requires much less upkeep than timber.
- Flexible sizes and configuration options – this makes them more accessible for different property options and allows you to find an ideal option for your development.
- Available in a range of colours and designs – this again allows you to find an option that matches the aesthetic of your property development. Suppliers such as Origin offer efficient and reliable lead times that can be tailored to your specific project, meaning you don’t have to worry about missing a tight deadline.

- Powder-coated finishes – this creates a much harder and solidified finish than paint which will make the doors withstand and survive much more wear and tear and keep up their clean finish appearance for longer.
- They are environmentally friendly. Making recycled aluminium only takes around 5% of the energy needed to make new aluminium, reducing carbon emissions.

Why should you use a supply-only service?
If you’re a property developer who is looking to source aluminium patio doors, you could consider using a supply-only service. A supply-only service includes the supply of the door you may need without carrying out installation. Suppliers such as Origin will also provide you with expert guidance on choosing the ideal product for your development. You may want to consider this option if you already have a team of professionals who are able to install the patio doors, and you aren’t under too much pressure time-wise. If this is the case, a supply-only service would be beneficial as you don’t have to pay for the installation of the aluminium door.
However, sometimes a supply-only service alone may not be suitable for your project, particularly if you have a very tight deadline to meet. At Origin, we also offer a full turn-key service which includes supply, installation and support all along the way. Discover more of our services here.
Things to consider when finding a supply-only service for aluminium patio doors
When looking for a supply-only service that is suitable for your company, there are many factors you need to prioritise:
Reliability
Above all, you want to make sure you are working with a reliable supplier with a positive reputation. You are trusting the supplier to deliver high-quality products efficiently, so you need to ensure you are working with professionals who can be trusted.
An unreliable supplier may slow down the entire process and fail to provide you with the products you need in time for you to meet the demands of your project.
