Sheerline Classic Heritage Doors

Slimline, Stepped-Profile Steel-Look Doors for Period & Contemporary Homes 

Sheerline Classic Heritage doors are stepped-profile, steel-look aluminium doors that capture the elegance of traditional steel in an aluminium system, with ultra-slim frames, strong thermal performance and a distinctive stepped exterior profile inspired by early 20th-century steel framing.

They’re ideal for period homes, listed and conservation-led renovations, retro refurbishment projects and contemporary extensions, and they pair with the Sheerline Classic Heritage window range for a fully coordinated finish.

Which heritage door is right for you?

Sheerline Classic is the stepped-profile option within our heritage door range. Our flat-profile ranges, Alitherm Heritage and Alitherm Heritage 60, offer a smoother steel-look sightline, and the AluSpace internal system brings the same styling indoors - see the full range to compare all four.

What Is Sheerline Classic? 

The Sheerline Classic door takes its name from Sheerline’s own Classic Heritage system, and it’s easy to see why – the signature stepped exterior profile and transom are what give it away as a genuine steel-look door rather than a standard aluminium one, and what set it apart from the flatter, square-edged framework of our other heritage systems. Sightlines as slim as 35.5mm, PAS24 security accreditation and Thermlock® multi-chamber thermal technology mean it doesn’t just look the part, it performs like a modern door too.
