Alu Design is Kobbe's flagship entrance-door collection and the one specified most often on projects that treat the front door as an architectural statement rather than an off-the-shelf component.

Genuine configurability

The configurator allows the panel colour, the engraving pattern and the position of side lights and stainless-steel inlays to be set independently. In practice, two Alu Design installations rarely look identical.

In-house production

The entire process — CAD, CNC and quality checks — takes place at Kobbe's own facility, which keeps the lead time on bespoke configurations more predictable than assembly-house alternatives.

Best matched to a specific brief

Alu Design pays off on new builds where the entrance is a designed moment on the elevation. On a straightforward like-for-like door replacement it is usually more than the project needs.

Editor's note. 5EC will match a Kobbe Alu Design specification to the rest of the aluminium on the elevation, so the door does not sit in stylistic isolation.

For readers researching options locally, 5EC's front doors and 5EC's premium line are both worth reviewing — both are handled by 5EC, a Stevenage-based authorised supplier working across Hertfordshire.

Detailed technical documentation is available on the Kobbe collection page.
