What are the benefits of aluminium-framed internal room dividers?
Aluminium internal room dividers boast a wealth of benefits, so it's easy to see why this is such a popular choice when it comes to internal doors. An aluminium frame door offers excellent strength and durability, ensuring it will withstand a lot of use for a long time to come.
Aluminium provides a sleek, classic appearance and fits in well with the popular industrial style that is sought-after in many residential and commercial properties. In addition to this, aluminium can also go well alongside many other materials, textures and colours - so will blend seamlessly into any kind of setting. Steel-look aluminium doors, such as Origin’s OI-30, also offer a steel-look design and industrial aesthetic without compromising the benefits of using aluminium.

Choose a bespoke option
Opting for bespoke internal room dividers enables you to choose the doors that truly meet your needs, without having to make any compromises. You can pick the most appropriate configuration and specification to match your specific taste and practical demands.
When you choose Origin for your internal room dividers, you can customise multiple factors to tailor the design to your desired appearance such as different colours, sizes and configurations, various handle styles and colours, and vertical and horizontal bar options. You can also choose the glass glazing option you desire for your door. So, whether you'd prefer clear glass to allow natural light to flood in, or reeded or frosted glass for extra privacy - the choice is entirely yours. Please liaise with your local Trade Partner to discuss glazing options, as Origin do not provide the glass.
For a traditional look that oozes style and sophistication, you may also want to choose a door that has Georgian-style bar trims. At Origin, our OI-30 allows you the option to add as many horizontal or vertical glazing bars as you choose, up to a maximum of two vertical and six horizontal. For example – you may want to increase the number of glazing bars to deliver a full heritage or art deco look, or you may want to decrease the number of glazing bars for a more minimalistic design and larger glass panels.
You can read our internal doors configuration guide for more information on your options.
Ensure you buy from a reputable supplier
Choosing a reputable supplier for your internal room dividers ensures you get a high-quality product that's durable, at a good price. You're also more likely to receive great customer service from start to finish with a reputable supplier, as well as convenient lead times and assistance with any questions you might have.
A reputable supplier will also take factors such as the environment and safety of its products into account, often obtaining industry recognition and accreditation along the way. Origin are proud to be ISO 14001 (Environmental), ISO 9001 (Quality) and ISO 45001 (Health and Safety) accredited.

Consider your preferred style and colour options
The style you choose depends on your surroundings and the statement you want to make. If you are using the door to divide a traditional living area and dining room – perhaps you want a more traditional design. On the other hand, designs that create a modern, classic theme are ideal for achieving a sleeker option. These designs are becoming increasingly popular in areas such as home office or office spaces, creating a snug area to entertain guests, or something as simple as a utility room door.
Choosing a door with Georgian glazing bars is a great way to create a classic, Georgian-style room divider. You have a range of styles to choose from when selecting an internal room divider. For a more sleek, modern option, you may want to minimise the number of Georgian glazing bars used and opt for more glass. This can be a perfect way to let as much natural light in as possible.
On the other hand – you may want to increase the number of horizontal and vertical Georgian glazing bars to create a busier, more traditional design. Options such as Origin’s OI-30 allows you to choose between horizontal or vertical Georgian-style bars, so you can find the best option for your needs.
When it comes to colour options – take into account your surroundings, and the overall aesthetic of your space. A classic option such as black can be a flexible choice for any surrounding, and will also ensure your door has a timeless aesthetic.
The Origin Internal Door is available in over 150 RAL colours and so the number of customisations available means that that there really is an Origin Internal Door to suit everyone.
Is the door powder coated?
Choosing a powder coated finish can help improve the durability of your door and prevent the likelihood of marks and damage to the door.
Our OI-30 Internal Doors are powdercoated to withstand relentless exposure to the elements and UV light, along with the everyday excitement and vigour of family life.
Accessories
Door accessories can make all the difference to an aluminium-framed door. Handles are especially important to a door – and can provide the ideal finishing touch you need.
At Origin, we offer a range of styles and colours to ensure your door perfectly reflects your individual style and needs. The Signature Knurled Handle, for example, is a truly stunning and highly versatile handle. The Contemporary Handle Collection, on the other hand, is tailored to a modern clean look with minimal fuss, while the Heritage Collection featuring square or rounded edge hammered pewter or matt black is designed with the traditionalist in mind; great for art deco or heritage style doors. All the handles are sprung loaded and designed to last a lifetime.
You can choose between the following colour options for your handle:
- Antique Brass
- Hammered Pewter
Matt Black
Matt Bronze
Satin Brass
Satin Nickel
