Why Aluspace Internal Doors Are the Smart Choice for Open-Plan Living

These sleek aluminium internal doors offer a fresh take on zoning space without closing it in, and they bring a level of design sophistication that matches the most stylish homes.

When planning an extension or redesign, much of the focus tends to be on external doors and windows—but how you divide internal space matters just as much. In our Glazing Spaces project in Lexden, Colchester, the standout feature wasn’t a bifold or roof lantern, but the Aluspace internal door screens that connected the old and new parts of the home.These sleek aluminium internal doors offer a fresh take on zoning space without closing it in, and they bring a level of design sophistication that matches the most stylish homes.

Open-Plan Living Without Losing Definition

One of the key design tensions in open-plan homes is the desire to keep everything bright, open, and connected, while still giving each area its own purpose.Aluspace internal screens solve this perfectly. They allow light to flow through the space while visually dividing rooms in a way that feels elegant rather than abrupt.In this project, the single and double door screens subtly mark the transition between the original home and the extension—creating zones without creating barriers.

Framed Style, Minimal Impact

Inspired by steel-framed industrial doors, Aluspace internal systems are made from slim, strong aluminium with a minimalist feel.
  • Clean lines and slim profiles
  • Goalpost frame on the double door allows for threshold-free access
  • 6mm clear toughened glass maintains a sense of openness
In Glazing Spaces, the double doors with sidelites are a real showpiece. They add drama without shouting, keeping the home’s refined style intact.

Beauty in the Details

Aluspace isn’t just functional—it’s beautifully considered. The Matt Bronze Varese lever handles used here give a nod to heritage design without feeling outdated, and offer a moment of texture and tone against the glass and frame.These small touches elevate the doors from simple dividers to standalone design features.

Light, Flow, and Flexibility

Internal doors don’t usually get credit for improving light—but they should. In this project, the glass screens help natural light from the Korniche roof lantern and Sheerline flush sash windows reach deep into the home, enhancing the sense of openness throughout.They also offer privacy when needed, without shutting away the view or reducing the flow of light and air.

FAQ: Aluspace Internal Doors – What You Should Know

What are Aluspace internal screens made of?
They’re crafted from slimline aluminium, offering the industrial look of steel with lighter weight, easier installation, and more flexibility in design.
Can I use them with no threshold?

Yes. The Goalpost frame design used on the double doors in this project allows for a flush floor level, making them ideal for open-plan layouts or areas that need unrestricted access.

Absolutely. Choose from a range of lever handles, finishes, and latch options. The Matt Bronze Varese handle shown here is just one of many ways to tailor the look.

 

Can I use Aluspace in homes with traditional styling?

Yes. Their clean design works as a complement to both period features and modern architecture, especially when paired with matching finishes or subtle colours.
