Why this suits Shetland
An aluminium door holds its shape where a timber one moves and a uPVC one sags. In Shetland the practical gain is on the most severe wind exposure in the uk.
Stone-built croft housing and modern island stock. The most severe wind exposure in the UK, with constant salt loading. The failure that tends to come first is Wind load, driven rain and corrosion on every elevation — worth knowing before you decide between repairing what you have and replacing it.
Freight to Shetland is a long separate leg — plan well ahead. Order to the structural opening, measured in three places, smallest figure wins. How to measure properly.

Aluminium doors in Shetland — 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 Shetland take?
About a week from order for standard products in standard finishes, then 3–5 working days once made for the run to Shetland. Special RAL colours and made-to-measure joinery take longer, and you get a firm date before you pay.
Do you install in Shetland?
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 Shetland?
Wind load, driven rain and corrosion on every elevation. That is the pattern across most of the county, though an individual property can differ.
