Steel driveway gates
The effortlessly elegant steel driveway gate creates the perfect entrance to your home. Its durability strengthens the degree of security that this gate provides, being an incredibly versatile choice that can be intricately customised to your preferences. Steel driveway gates are also really easy to maintain; give them a scrub with warm, soapy water every so often for a sparkling finish that will dazzle your visitors.
Aluminium driveway gates

Being both weather-resistant and low maintenance, what’s not to love? There are a variety of stylish designs to choose from too, so whether you’d like a textured, smooth, matte or gloss finish, or perhaps you’d like your driveway gate to be painted with a wooden effect, there are no limits to creating your dream design.

Composite driveway gates
Being a design that’s climbing the popularity ranks, the composite driveway gate offers robustness, and environmentally-friendly perks. They’re made using bamboo and recycled high density polyethylene, which is a bonding agent that doesn’t damage the planet. Showing us that style and sustainability can go hand in hand, you’ll definitely be satisfied with this low-maintenance and long lasting option.
Gate access control
Looking for additional security? Thanks to gate access control, you’ll be able to let your guests in with the touch of a button. You can choose from a keypad system, GSM intercom or video intercom, depending on if you’d prefer to hear or see your visitors before granting access. Not only this, if you’re away from home, simply provide trusted neighbours or friends with the keypad number so they can help you out with parcels or house sitting.
Maintaining your driveway gate
To keep your driveway gate looking good for as long as possible, make sure you keep up with the maintenance. A gentle scrub and a fresh coat of paint every once in a while goes a long way, bearing in mind that certain materials (such as wood), will need additional care; our guide on how to treat timber will tell you everything you need to know.
