What Guarantee Do Doors Come With?
When buying a new door, one of the most common questions homeowners ask is:
“What guarantee does my door come with?”
It’s a fair concern—you’re making an investment, and you want peace of mind that your door will last. At Home Build Doors, we make sure every product is backed by a manufacturer’s guarantee. Here’s what you can expect depending on the material you choose.
Aluminium Doors
Aluminium doors, such as our Origin bifolds, Cortizo sliding doors, and Smarts heritage systems, are built to last decades.
Typical guarantee:
-
Frames: 10–20 years (varies by supplier).
-
Powder-coated finish: 10 years against peeling or corrosion.
-
Hardware (handles, locks, hinges): 5 years.
-
Glass units: 5 years against sealed unit failure (misting/condensation inside the glass).
Aluminium is extremely durable, so guarantees are usually long and comprehensive.
Composite Doors
Composite front and back doors combine a tough GRP skin with a solid insulated core.
Typical guarantee:
-
Frames and door leaf: 10 years.
-
Hardware: 5 years.
-
Glass units: 5 years.
-
Colour stability: covered against excessive fading.
uPVC Doors
Our Liniar flush uPVC doors and windows are lightweight, affordable, and low maintenance.
Typical guarantee:
-
Frames: 10 years.
-
Hardware: 5 years.
-
Glass units: 5 years.
What’s Usually Not Covered?
It’s worth noting that guarantees typically do not cover:
-
Normal wear and tear such as scratches or accidental damage.
-
Issues caused by poor installation.
-
Lack of maintenance, such as failing to oil hinges or locks.
That’s why it is important to follow the care instructions provided with your door.
