Transforming spaces and letting light in, these doors help make a house a home

Whether you’re renovating your home, planning for a new build or creating an office space to die for, here’s how the right choice of door can totally transform a space.

So often, we take for granted the bones of a house that lay the foundation for making it a home, but the team at Porta Steel Doors highlight the infinite potential these elements lend to a space.

Born from a passion for the striking balance between steel and glass in 2020, Porta Steel Doors refuse to compromise on quality or service, going above and beyond to provide high-quality, robust steel and glass systems that have been crafted to the highest possible standards.

Made up of a team of experienced professionals across every stage of the journey, they are committed to providing both top-quality products and service to every one of their clients. A sister company of Dlight, based in the coastal town of Tramore, Co Waterford, the venture grew to stand as its own company, employing over 15 team members from the local community with Shane Crowley as Managing Director.

Going the extra mile to help define a space like never before and design with distinction, Porta Steel Doors always provide a 360 experience, whether it be with an architectural firm or an interior designer, a restaurant or office space, or a private home.

Porta Steel Doors are the official STEELIT® distributor for the Republic of Ireland, offering ready-made steel doors with a high-quality finish and easy installation. Available in various colours and styles with slim-profile and powder-coated frames, they have the ability to completely transform a space without compromising light. Their bespoke solution provides endless opportunities and one-of-a-kind designs for both internal and external spaces.

Through their consultation service, they will help carve out a route to making your vision a reality so that after an initial chat, you can commence the process together. They also offer a design consultation, which will help you select the best design for your space and configure that design as a 2-D or 3-D image giving you a perfect vision.

The next step is a site visit, during which the experienced team of carpenters will call to the location to help minimise any issues that may arise during installation. The best bit? For every steel door sold, Porta Steel Doors plant a native Irish tree on Irish soil with Grown Forest.
