FAQ

Which material is better for a garden gate: aluminium, steel or wood?

Aluminium is lightweight, rustproof and particularly easy to clean. Steel, on the other hand, is very stable and ideal for high security requirements. Wood offers a natural look, but requires more maintenance. Many of our customers choose aluminium because it is durable, weatherproof and low-maintenance.

Are there fences with special burglary protection?

Yes, there are security fences that fulfil all the requirements to be particularly burglar-proof or escape-proof. On top of that, you can install a fence detection system that emits an alarm in the event of vibrations.

Can I also buy fencing with combined security and design from Besenius?

Yes, thanks to our extremely broad portfolio and our customisation options, we can combine the two.

Can I also order fences for the commercial sector from portails-et-clotures?

Yes, we also offer fences that are specially adapted to commercial requirements.

Are aluminium doors really maintenance-free?

Aluminium doors are very easy to maintain as they do not rust. All you need to do is clean them regularly with water and a mild detergent. Compared to steel or wood, they are virtually maintenance-free and retain their appearance for a long time.

Can I install a gate or fence myself or do I need a professional?

Our gates and fences are designed so that even DIY enthusiasts can install them themselves. On request, we can supply you with the required materials and show you what to look out for on site. For larger projects, however, we recommend the support of a specialist to guarantee an optimum result.

How long is the delivery time for gates and fences?

The delivery time depends on the product. Standard models can usually be delivered within 10-15 working days. Customised products can take 4-10 weeks. We will inform you of the exact delivery date after you place your order.

Are your doors compatible with automatic opening systems?

Yes, our entrance gates are compatible with most common automation systems. We will be happy to advise you on suitable motors and control units, which you can order directly.

Can I buy an industrially manufactured door from portails-et-clotures?

Yes, we manufacture gates and fences to individual dimensions. This way you can ensure that your product fits your property perfectly. Simply let us know the dimensions you require and we will prepare a customised quotation.

Can I install a privacy screen at a later date?

Yes, many of our fences and gates can be retrofitted with privacy screens. This allows you to create additional protection from prying eyes at any time without having to replace the entire system.
