Introducing Smart Alitherm Heritage Doors

Posted by: Glenn Creswell Categories: Double Glazing Ongar

At Oakland Home Improvements, we proudly supply and install Smart Alitherm Heritage Doors for homeowners across Chelmsford, Ongar and the wider Essex area. These premium aluminium doors are designed for properties where maintaining traditional character is essential, but modern standards of comfort, efficiency and security are non-negotiable.

Manufactured in the UK by Smart Systems, the Alitherm Heritage range is ideal for period homes, conservation projects and high-quality renovations throughout Essex, offering a perfect balance of classic styling and contemporary performance.

Heritage-Style Aluminium Doors for Essex Homes

Many homes across Chelmsford, Ongar and surrounding Essex villages feature architectural details that deserve preservation. Smart Alitherm Heritage Doors are specifically designed to replicate the appearance of traditional steel doors, making them a popular choice for older and character properties.

With ultra-slim aluminium sightlines of around 59mm, these doors capture the elegance of classic steel frames while avoiding the issues commonly associated with older materials, such as rust, draughts and poor insulation. This makes them particularly suitable for heritage-style homes across Essex that require sensitive yet practical upgrades.

Slim Sightlines That Maximise Light and Style

One of the main reasons homeowners in Chelmsford and Ongar choose Smart Alitherm Heritage Doors is their refined, minimalist appearance. The slender profiles allow for larger glass areas, helping to maximise natural light while maintaining a traditional aesthetic.

Whether installed as a front entrance door, a rear garden door, or as part of a refurbishment project, these doors enhance the visual appeal of both period and contemporary homes. Their understated design works equally well in townhouses, cottages and modern properties looking to introduce heritage-inspired features.

Improved Thermal Efficiency for Modern Living

Older homes across Essex often struggle with heat loss and rising energy costs. Smart Alitherm Heritage Doors are engineered with advanced thermal break technology, significantly improving insulation compared to traditional steel or timber doors.

The thermally broken aluminium frame helps reduce heat transfer, contributing to:

  • Greater internal comfort throughout the year
  • Lower heating bills
  • Typical U-values of approximately 1.6 W/m²K, depending on glazing

These performance levels support compliance with current UK Building Regulations, making them an excellent choice for energy-conscious homeowners in Chelmsford, Ongar and beyond.

Secure Aluminium Doors You Can Rely On

Security is a top priority for any external door, and Smart Alitherm Heritage Doors are built to protect your home without compromising on appearance. The system incorporates discreet yet effective security features designed to blend seamlessly with its heritage styling.

Key benefits include:

This ensures peace of mind for homeowners across Essex, whether the doors are installed at the front of a property or opening onto a garden or patio.

Built to Withstand Essex Weather Conditions

From coastal air to seasonal rainfall, homes across Essex require doors that can handle varied weather conditions. Smart Alitherm Heritage Doors are tested to meet BS 6375 weather performance standards, offering excellent resistance to wind, rain and draughts.

The high-quality powder-coated aluminium finish provides long-term durability, resisting corrosion, fading and wear. Unlike timber doors, these aluminium heritage doors require minimal maintenance, making them ideal for busy households throughout Chelmsford and Ongar.

Bespoke Colours and Heritage Hardware Options

Every property is unique, and Smart Alitherm Heritage Doors can be fully customised to suit individual homes across Essex. Homeowners can choose from an extensive range of finishes and hardware options to complement existing architectural details.

Customisation options include:

  • Single or dual-colour frames
  • A wide selection of RAL colours
  • Textured and anodised finishes
  • Traditional or contemporary handles and fittings

This flexibility ensures each installation enhances the character of the property while reflecting personal style.

Ideal for Period and Contemporary Properties

While Smart Alitherm Heritage Doors are perfect for period homes and conservation-style projects in Chelmsford and Ongar, they are equally popular in modern properties seeking a refined, industrial or heritage-inspired look. Their clean lines and elegant proportions make them a versatile choice for many home styles across Essex.
