10 Reasons Why Front Entrance Aluminium Doors Are the Best Choice for Your Modern Homes

Selecting a front door that complements your home's overall design not only enhances the exterior but also is a way to express your style and taste.

Many homeowners start with timber or mass-produced “template” doors, but these often come with limitations in durability, design flexibility, and long-term value. Front entrance aluminium doors stand out as the superior choice, combining style with strength while offering genuine customisation.

Why Should You Choose Front Entrance Aluminium Doors For Your Modern House?

Here’s why more people are turning to leading aluminium door companies like VivaDoors when designing their dream homes:

• Modern Appeal Over Timber: Unlike timber, which can look dated or require constant upkeep, aluminium delivers a sleek, contemporary style. Not to mention that aluminum doors can be painted in darker colors such as black or gray, colors that timber doors can't be painted in. This ensures your door enhances—not limits—the overall design of your home.

• True Customisation: Template doors may claim to be “custom” but usually offer limited designs or pre-set options. Aluminium, on the other hand, allows genuine flexibility. VivaDoors, one of a few aluminium door companies that offers true customised doors, allows you to customise everything from size, shape, colour, finish, and even the grain effect if you want the warmth of timber without the hassle.

• Superior Durability: Timber swells, warps, or cracks, while aluminium stays perfectly shaped for a long time. In fact, a front entrance aluminium door can last for years without losing its shape or finish.

• Low Maintenance: Forget sanding or repainting every year; aluminium only needs a simple clean. Powder-coated finishes, further protect against fading or scratching. You only need to clean and maintain the door's pivot system to ensure smooth operation.

• Architectural Flexibility: Aluminium opens the door—literally—to designs that timber and templates can’t achieve. Its strength supports oversized doors, such as grand pivot doors or large double entrances, without risk of sagging or distortion. Architects and designers love aluminium because it gives them freedom to create bold, eye-catching entrances that serve as true centrepieces.

• Weather Resistance: Timber is vulnerable to moisture, rot, and termites, while many template doors struggle under extreme conditions. Aluminium stands up to Australia’s harsh climate with ease. It won’t rust, corrode, or be eaten by pests, and is perfectly suited to coastal or high-humidity environments.

• Sustainable Choice: Timber can be harvested sustainably, but it still requires protective treatments and chemicals to last, while many mass-produced doors are made with synthetic materials that aren’t eco-friendly. Aluminium is 100% recyclable, and many aluminium door companies already use recycled material in their products.

• Better Security: Your front door is the first line of defence, and aluminium offers superior strength compared to timber or hollow-core template doors. Its rigidity makes it harder to breach, while advanced locking systems add further security. Front entrance aluminium doors deliver both strength and sophistication.

• Long-Term Value: While a front entrance aluminium door may have a higher initial cost than a basic template door, they pay off significantly over time. The longevity and minimal upkeep of aluminium provide outstanding return on investment, while also adding lasting curb appeal to your property.

• Crafted by Experts: Mass-produced doors often prioritise volume over quality. By working with specialised aluminium door companies such as VivaDoors, you gain access to expert craftsmanship, precision installation, and true custom design.
