Steel-look doors and windows are today’s on-trend door and window design, not just in modern homes, but also in retail premises such as coffee shops, restaurants and other commercial buildings. Whether it’s for an industrial-style loft, a heritage renovation, or a high-end contemporary home, steel-inspired glazing creates a distinctive look that’s also classic and timeless.
But not all steel-look systems are the same. Many aluminium alternatives lack the finesse, detailing, and slim proportions of real steel. And most aluminium steel look systems are nothing more than a regular window with bars stuck on the glass.
Where quality and attention to detail matter, Aluco Elite are the best designed, most thermally efficient, slimmest and most credible alternative to steel windows and doors. And we know this, because we also have in our showroom the best steel windows and doors for you to compare.
Why Aluco Elite is the best aluminium steel-look windows and doors
Completely redesigned, Aluco Elite is carefully designed and mostly hand-made, to replicate period steel, industrial or Art-Deco windows and doors. There is no slimmer aluminium window in this iconic style. We are confident you’ll agree that Aluco Elite is the closest you can get to genuine steel windows and doors—without the higher cost and longer lead times of traditional steel.
Unrivalled Design and Authenticity
Aluco Elite has been meticulously designed to match the classic detailing of heritage steel doors and windows. It features:
- Ultra-slim 20mm glazing bars. Just like steel windows and the slimmest available with any aluminium steel-look system.
- The only aluminium window with rolled sash profiles. Perfectly replicating the look of traditional steel frames.
- Minimalist transoms and sightlines, giving you an even closer steel look.
- A complete home solution. Aluco Elite offers you single and double doors, French doors, fixed and opening windows, screens, and partitions.
The attention to detail in Aluco Elite makes it ideal for period property renovations, where preserving an original aesthetic is key. But it also works perfectly in contemporary spaces, offering a striking contrast against modern materials like exposed brick, concrete, or timber.
For your patio doors, again Aluco Elite, comes with unique features and advantages you won’t find on any other comparable product.
First of all are where you want glazed top panels above your doors. Only Aluco Elite comes with a one-piece transom, where other brands need coupling two separate profiles together. You benefit from slimmer and sleeker doors throughout.
Doors also feature fire escape hinges, period hardware and even the key cylinders are colour-matched black. But above all, and just like the windows, Elite doors are the slimmest and most steel-like in aluminium.
Advanced Engineering and Performance
While Aluco Elite looks like steel, it performs like a cutting edge and up-to-the-minute window and door.
The most thermally efficient. Double glazed provides U-values as low as 1.4 W/m²K double glazed and, triple glazed an impressive 1.0 W/m²K triple glazed. Both these options meet and exceed current Building Regulations and its ready for even lower U-Values coming in 2025.
- Peace of mind security. Elite comes with latest generation multi-point locking systems in windows and doors. Doors also have secure flush bolts, and three-star key cylinders for maximum protection.
- Extensive Sealing. Your new windows and doors promise to keep your home safe, sealed and weather protected. Windows and door are fully sealed throughout.
- High durability. You’ll benefit from a low-maintenance window or door with a gorgeous long-lasting powder-coated finish, that’s also easy to clean.
- A discreet trickle vent. Windows and doors in most cases need a trickle vent. Elite is engineered with the latest minimalist version that also acts as weather protection for the top of your windows. It’s inspired.
The iconic and classic look of steel without the heat loss, condensation, or security concerns associated with old steel frames.
Perfect for Internal and External Applications
Aluco Elite isn’t just for exterior doors and windows—it’s also an exceptional choice for internal glazing.
For internal spaces, the Aluco Elite Interior Collection offers:
- Slim-framed steel-look partitions – Ideal for separating living areas while maintaining an open-plan feel.
- Internal steel-look doors – With options for French doors, pivot doors, or sliding systems.
- Minimalist detailing – No bulky sightlines or thresholds, just clean, elegant glazing.
Aluco steel look. There is no steel-look window or door like it.
Where other brands take a bog-standard window and add a transom or bars, Aluco is entirely different. And because Aluco only designs steel look windows and doors, it’s further testament to the quality, innovation and authenticity.
For homeowners, architects, and developers, this means endless design possibilities. Whether creating a dramatic steel-inspired façade, a Crittall-style room divider, or a statement entrance door, Aluco Elite delivers.
