If you are looking for a front entrance door that combines serious security, strong thermal performance, and a design you cannot find on every street in Cheltenham, Bel’M is worth your attention. Bel’M is one of Europe’s leading entrance door manufacturers, and we supply and install their full range from our showroom in Cheltenham.
Every Bel’M door is made to measure in France and available in aluminium, timber, and Alusteel. This guide covers the range, what sets Bel’M apart from more commonly available entrance door options, and how to get a quote.
Bel’M is part of the French CETIH group, one of the largest door manufacturers in Europe. Every door comes from one of six factories in France, three of which focus entirely on entrance door production. That level of dedicated manufacturing capacity shows in the consistency and detail of the finished product.
Bel’M has maintained a dedicated Style and Design department from the very beginning. This is not a manufacturer producing a handful of stock designs. The range covers hundreds of door styles across three material collections, each available in a wide choice of colours, finishes, and hardware options.
Every Bel’M door carries CE and UKCA certification, confirming it meets the standards required for use in the UK. All doors also carry RC2 certification to the EN 1627 standard, independently tested by IFT Rosenheim for resistance to forced entry. Security is not an afterthought in the Bel’M range. It is built into every door from the ground up.
We supply and install Bel’M entrance doors across Cheltenham and the surrounding area. From working with clients locally, we find Bel’M suits homeowners who want something that looks and feels premium from the first impression rather than a door that blends into the background.
The aluminium collection is the most thermally advanced in the Bel’M range. The Aluminium 100 door builds around a 98mm composite slab with a thermally broken, highly insulated frame and a high-performance compressed wood fibre core. This combination delivers U-values as low as 0.68 W/m²k, placing it among the most thermally efficient entrance doors available in the UK today.
To put that in context, UK building regulations for new dwellings currently require external doors to achieve a U-value no worse than 1.4 W/m²k. The Bel’M Aluminium 100 more than doubles that requirement. For homeowners investing in a high-performance thermal envelope, this level of door performance is consistent with triple glazed windows and premium bifold door specifications.
The Aluminium 80 range offers an even wider choice of designs while still achieving strong thermal performance. The slimmer 80mm slab gives a slightly different visual profile and suits homes where the door proportions call for a less substantial frame depth.
In our experience, the aluminium collection works better than the Alusteel range for projects where thermal performance is the primary requirement, because the composite slab and wood fibre core combination outperforms a steel-faced product at the same price point by a meaningful margin.
For homeowners who want the warmth and character of real timber, the Bel’M timber collection offers Red Cedar, Accoya, and Oak options, including a Shou Sugi Ban charred timber finish for those who want something genuinely distinctive.
Each timber door builds on a 94mm slab and achieves U-values from 0.76 W/m²k. This combines the natural beauty of real wood with the kind of thermal performance that previously required composite materials. Accoya in particular is worth noting. It is a modified timber that resists rot, swelling, and shrinkage to a degree that standard timber cannot match, making it a practical choice for an entrance door that faces the full range of British weather.
The Shou Sugi Ban option uses a traditional Japanese charring technique that hardens and preserves the timber surface. It creates a striking, tactile finish that suits contemporary and design-led homes across Cheltenham and the Cotswolds well. We have seen strong interest in this option from clients renovating period properties who want a door that references craft and material quality rather than off-the-shelf convenience.
The Alusteel collection combines a strong steel face with an aluminium structure. The Alusteel 68+ range is PAS 24 certified, which is the UK standard for enhanced security performance in doors and windows. It provides a secure, durable entrance door at a more accessible price point than the aluminium collection.
Alusteel suits homeowners who want the Bel’M design quality and RC2 security credentials without the full investment of the aluminium range. It also suits trade customers working on new build or developer projects where consistent specification across multiple plots is a practical consideration.
Every Bel’M entrance door carries RC2 certification to the EN 1627 standard. This is not a brand claim. It is an independently verified classification from IFT Rosenheim, one of the most respected testing institutes for building products in Europe. RC2 certification means the door withstands sustained, tool-assisted attack for a minimum period under controlled test conditions.
As standard, all Bel’M doors fit with a five-point automatic locking system. This engages at multiple points across the door frame when the handle is lifted, creating a far more secure closure than a single-point lock. An optional motorised lock is also available, with smart home compatibility for remote locking and monitoring.
From working with clients across Cheltenham, we know that front door security is a genuine concern for homeowners on busier routes through the town and in properties where the front elevation is more exposed. A Bel’M door addresses this concern with certified performance rather than marketing language.
Every Bel’M door is made to measure. There is no off-the-shelf standard size because Bel’M builds each door to the dimensions of the opening it fits.
Colour options span a wide range including white, grey, black, timber finishes, and custom colours. Ceramic and stainless steel decorative inserts are available across selected designs, and integrated pull bars suit contemporary door styles where a handle-free external face is preferred.
A 20mm aluminium threshold with a thermal break is available across the range, meeting accessibility standards for people with reduced mobility. This is a detail that matters for homeowners planning ahead or for those adapting a property for accessibility requirements.
Stainless steel handles, knockers, and letterboxes complete the specification. Getting these details right gives the front of a property a finished, coherent look that generic entrance doors rarely achieve.
We work with builders, architects, and developers across Cheltenham and the surrounding area on projects that include Bel’M entrance doors. Our supply only option suits trade customers with their own installation capability. We provide accurate lead times, full fitting documentation, and aftersales support.
For new build projects and larger renovations, the made-to-measure nature of Bel’M doors requires accurate opening measurements before the order is placed. Our team can advise on how to provide these correctly to avoid delays in the manufacturing and delivery process.

A front entrance door does not sit in isolation. For homeowners replacing the full glazing scheme on a property, it is worth considering how the entrance door relates to the windows, bifold doors, or patio doors on the same elevation.
Bel’M doors are available in RAL colours that align with the colour ranges offered across our bifold doors and windows and doors range. Specifying the entrance door and the rear glazing in a consistent colour produces a coherent result from both inside and outside the property.
For customers considering a full glazing replacement including an entrance door, we can discuss the full specification across products in a single conversation and provide a combined quote. Our post on why choose Bifold Shop explains how we approach projects that cover multiple products and why working with a single supplier for the full scheme tends to produce the best outcomes.
We offer two service levels for Bel’M entrance doors, consistent with the rest of our product range.
