Aluminium single door with side screens and fan lights
A single internal door with side screens and a fan light is a refined solution for larger internal openings and taller ceiling heights.
This configuration combines a central hinged door with fixed glazed panels to the sides and above, creating a balanced, architectural feature
that maximises light while maintaining clear separation between spaces.
Manufactured using the Alu Space internal door system, all configurations are made to measure and designed to deliver slim steel-look aesthetics
with modern aluminium performance.
Designed for larger and taller openings
This configuration is ideal where a standard single door would feel undersized or visually lost within the opening.
By incorporating side screens and a fan light, the overall design feels intentional and proportionate, even in rooms with high ceilings.
Common applications include:
- Period properties with tall ceilings
- Open-plan homes requiring defined zones
- Entrance points to living rooms or dining spaces
- Commercial offices and meeting rooms
The additional glazing allows natural light to flow freely while retaining strong visual structure.
What is a single door with side screens and fan light?
This configuration consists of:
- One hinged aluminium door
- One or two fixed side screens
- A fixed glazed fan light above
All elements are manufactured as a single, integrated internal glazing system, ensuring consistent sightlines, bar alignment and frame proportions.
