Contemporary front doors are built to last, with an average lifespan exceeding 25 years, making them a solid, long-term investment for homeowners. Spitfire contemporary front doors are designed to withstand extreme weather conditions like rain, wind, and intense sunlight, making them highly durable.
Benefits of Choosing Contemporary Front Doors
One of the key advantages of a contemporary front door made from aluminium is that the material is strong, lightweight, and highly durable. Aluminium reacts with oxygen in the air, forming a protective layer of aluminium oxide that prevents corrosion, making it ideal for exterior doors.
Additionally, contemporary front doors are easy to maintain. A simple monthly clean with warm, soapy water is all that’s needed to keep them in top condition. The hardware also benefits from periodic cleaning with a stainless-steel cleaner, ensuring the door remains functional and visually appealing for 25 years or more. Download our brochure
Contemporary Front Doors in a wide choice of colours
Aluminium front doors can be powder-coated in a wide variety of RAL colours, making them extremely versatile. For those seeking unique designs, finishes like modern rust, marble, or light concrete effects are available. If you prefer the appearance of wood without the upkeep, there are wood-effect finishes that offer the look of timber without the need for regular painting or staining.
Many aluminium doors are customizable with options like glass panels, LED lighting, or biometric fingerprint entry. If you’re seeking a strong, energy-efficient contemporary front door, aluminium doors, such as Spitfire Doors, are a great option, offering excellent insulation, weather resistance, and durability, and they can meet Passiv Haus energy standards.

Marine Grade Paint Finish for Coastal Areas
For homes near the sea, it is essential to choose a marine-grade paint finish to protect your contemporary front door from sea salt exposure. Spitfire Doors offers a marine-grade powder-coated finish, which is specifically designed to resist salt corrosion. It’s also important to specify marine-grade hardware to ensure the entire door withstands the harsh coastal environment.
While aluminium doors are low maintenance overall, any high-quality entrance door will need regular cleaning to stay in top condition, this is especially important for homes near the Sea or Estuary.

Natural Daylight In Your Home
If you are considering a new front door for your home, this could be a good time to consider the amount of natural daylight which you have available. If you have the space to include one or two glazed side panels on either side of your front door, or a glazed top light above your door, this will allow plenty of natural light to flood into your hallway. Alternatively, Spitfire Doors have many designs to choose from which include triple glazing with the design.
The contemporary front door pictured below is a Spitfire S-500 Series door, complete with two glazed side panels and triple glazing within the door itself. The design also includes a pullbar handle which runs the full height of the door, with a biometric fingerprint keypad included within the door handle and a Spyhole fitted discreetly into the door sash. This contemporary grey door design has four horizontal CNC grooves to add style and sophistication. Every door is made to bespoke dimensions and is available in a huge choice of colours. You are welcome to visit our bespoke door designer to create the door of your dreams here.
