Benefits of Supplying Aluminium Doors
Strength and Security
Aluminium is inherently strong, which means our door systems can accommodate larger glass panels without compromising performance. Mercury’s aluminium doors are tested to PAS 24 standards where applicable, ensuring compliance with Approved Document Q (external link). For installers, this makes it easier to reassure customers and meet regulations.
Thermal Efficiency
Energy efficiency remains a top priority for both homeowners and developers. All Mercury aluminium doors are designed with thermal breaks to reduce heat transfer and improve insulation. For installers, this provides a strong selling point and ensures compliance with the latest Building Regulations.
Design Flexibility
From bifold systems to internal partitions, our aluminium doors cover a wide spectrum of applications. This flexibility means trade partners can supply solutions for everything from contemporary home renovations to commercial offices.
Long-Term Durability
Aluminium doors are low-maintenance, resistant to warping or rotting, and built to last for decades. For trade partners, this reliability reduces the likelihood of call-backs and helps maintain strong customer relationships.
Opportunities Across Sectors
Aluminium doors are suited to both residential and commercial projects. Installers can use Mercury’s range to win contracts for new-build housing, refurbishments, office fit-outs, and bespoke residential projects. The versatility of systems like Aluspace and Visoglide Plus ensures that trade partners can meet the needs of diverse markets.
Commercial and Residential Opportunities
Aluminium windows are not just for homeowners. They are widely specified in commercial projects including offices, schools, and retail developments. For trade installers, this opens the door to larger contracts and ongoing supply agreements. Mercury’s ability to manufacture bespoke solutions means trade partners can meet the needs of both sectors with confidence.

Sustainability and Aluminium Doors
Sustainability is increasingly important in construction. Aluminium is 100% recyclable and retains its properties indefinitely, making it one of the most sustainable building materials available. The UK Green Building Council (external link) highlights the importance of choosing sustainable products, and aluminium doors align with these expectations. For installers, this adds value to sales conversations and helps secure projects where sustainability is a priority.
