Why this suits Orkney
An aluminium door holds its shape where a timber one moves and a uPVC one sags. In Orkney the practical gain is on extreme wind exposure with heavy salt loading and almost no shelter.
Stone-built vernacular and modern island housing. Extreme wind exposure with heavy salt loading and almost no shelter. The failure that tends to come first is Wind load on large panes and rapid corrosion of anything not marine grade — worth knowing before you decide between repairing what you have and replacing it.
Freight to the islands is a separate leg — allow real time for it. Order to the structural opening, measured in three places, smallest figure wins. How to measure properly.

Aluminium doors in Orkney — questions
What if the delivery is damaged?
Check it on the vehicle and note anything on the paperwork before the driver leaves. Damage reported at that point is replaced; damage found a fortnight later is much harder to resolve.
How long does delivery to Orkney take?
About a week from order for standard products in standard finishes, then 3–5 working days once made for the run to Orkney. Special RAL colours and made-to-measure joinery take longer, and you get a firm date before you pay.
Do you install in Orkney?
Installation is available and quoted as a separate line, so you can see exactly what the fitting costs against the product. The product still arrives on the supply-only lead time; the fitting date depends on the diary.
What size do I order to?
The structural opening — brick to brick, lintel to cill. Measure in three places and use the smallest figure. Do not take a fitting tolerance off yourself; that is done at our end.
What usually needs replacing in Orkney?
Wind load on large panes and rapid corrosion of anything not marine grade. That is the pattern across most of the county, though an individual property can differ.
