Aluminium Garage Doors
Aluminium suits both residential and commercial properties, and it’s one of the most requested garage door options we build. It holds up against Auckland’s coastal air without warping, denting easily or losing its finish, which is why it’s become the practical choice for homeowners after a sleek, low-maintenance door.

Why Choose Aluminium Garage Doors?
Lightweight &
Durable
Aluminium resists rust, peeling and fading in New Zealand’s coastal climate, so the door holds its finish well beyond the first few years.
Low
Maintenance
Unlike a timber garage door, an aluminium door generally only needs an occasional wash to keep its finish looking sharp.
Customisable Appearance
Flat panels, negative details, batten styles or a timber-look finish all integrate with your property’s exterior, depending on the look you’re after.
Eco-Friendly & Cost-Effective
Aluminium is fully recyclable and finished in powder coat for extra longevity, which gives it an edge on sustainability without a trade-off on style.

EXPLORE DOOR STYLES
Altec Aluminium Garage Doors
Minimalist and Modern
The Altec door is one of our most requested designs, built around a flat-panel look with customisable 10mm negative details arranged vertically, horizontally or staggered. It sits on a welded aluminium box frame with a lifetime warranty on the frame, and the whole door is powder-coated for a uniform finish across a broad colour range. Plexiglass inserts or laser-cut patterns turn the flat panel into more of a feature, if that’s the direction you’d like to take it.
Aluminium Board and Batten Garage Doors
The Timber Look, Without the Maintenance
If you like traditional timber batten doors but not the upkeep they need, our aluminium board and batten range gives you the same look on a material that stays stable through Auckland’s weather rather than warping or cracking over time. The powder-coat finish carries a 10, 15 or 20-year warranty depending on your selection, and battens can run vertical, horizontal or diagonal. Window inserts in plainlite or colonial styles bring in natural light while keeping the garage secure, and insulation or smart app-controlled openers are worth considering if the space doubles as a gym, workshop or multi-purpose room.
Faux Cedar Aluminium Garage Doors
The Timber Alternative
Faux Cedar is built for homeowners who want the warmth of wood without the recoating cycle. The powder-coat finish carries up to a 25-year warranty, and the welded aluminium box frame behind it carries our lifetime frame warranty, so the structure and the finish are both covered long-term. It comes in TGV board, board-and-batten or flat panel styles, with the timber grain read close enough that it’s often mistaken for real cedar, minus the rot and mould risk that comes with the real thing.
Battens, windows and insulation can all be added, and beyond the timber grain, Faux Cedar is also available in copper and concrete-look finishes if you’d rather make a different kind of statement.
Timber-Look Aluminium Garage Doors
Classic Appeal, Modern Upkeep
Where Faux Cedar is a specific finish, timber-look aluminium covers the broader range of panel styles built to read as timber, including TGV and board-and-batten profiles, with window inserts available in plainlite or colonial styles. Powder-coat warranties run 10 to 20 years across the range, extending to 25 years on the Faux Cedar line. Everything is fabricated in-house at Penrose, so size, layout and detailing are built to your specification rather than pulled from a fixed catalogue.
Nu-Wall Clad Garage Doors
Nu-Wall cladding is a common choice on contemporary New Zealand homes, and bringing it into the garage door keeps the whole facade reading as one design rather than two competing materials. The panels are pre-formed aluminium, matched or complemented to your existing cladding, and finished through a BRANZ-appraised powder-coating process. Unlike steel, aluminium won’t rust and stays comparatively light, which suits high-use doors. Mounted on our welded box frame, the result sits flush with the rest of the exterior instead of standing out from it.
Ventilated Aluminium Garage Doors
Airflow Without Losing Security
Garages and commercial spaces dealing with humidity, exhaust fumes or heat build-up need a door that lets air move, and a sealed panel won’t do that. Our laser-cut aluminium mesh options can carry a standard pattern or a custom design, including branded text or logos, and we also offer more conventional mesh and louvre finishes if that suits the property better. Ventilated sections can be combined with sealed panels for extra privacy, or plexiglass inserts where visibility matters more.
Metwood Powder-Coat
Metwood powder-coat is our longest-warrantied aluminium finish, backed for 25 years, and built as a low-maintenance alternative to natural cedar. It’s available across our core profiles, including TGV board and flat panel, and built on the same welded box frame with a lifetime frame warranty behind every door.
Finish options run from a realistic timber grain through to copper and concrete looks, with battens, windows or insulation added depending on what the design calls for. The appeal is straightforward: a timber-look finish with washing as the only real upkeep, rather than the recoating cycle cedar needs.
More detail on the finish is available via ArchiPro.
Built to Perform, Not Just Look Good
Every welded box frame carries a lifetime warranty, so the structure behind the door is covered for as long as you own it. Beyond the frame, we build each door to work as a design feature in its own right, not just a functional panel, and we consult on the structural specification alongside colour and accessory choices so both sides of the decision get equal attention. The result is a garage door built to perform for years, not just look good on install day.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Is aluminium good for coastal areas?
Yes. Aluminium doesn’t rust the way steel can, which makes it well suited to Auckland’s salt-laden air. Combined with a powder-coat finish, it holds its colour and structure through coastal conditions considerably better than untreated or lower-grade materials.
How do I maintain a powder-coat finish?
A powder-coat aluminium door generally only needs a periodic wash with soap and water. There’s no staining, oiling or recoating involved, which is the main practical difference between this and a timber door.
Can aluminium look like timber?
Yes, through our Faux Cedar and timber-look ranges. The powder-coat finish is designed to read as timber grain, close enough that most people won’t clock the difference from the street, while the door itself stays low maintenance rather than needing the upkeep real timber does.
What's the powdercoat warranty?
Warranties range from 10 to 20 years depending on the finish, extending to 25 years on our Metwood and Faux Cedar lines. The welded box frame underneath carries a separate lifetime warranty.
