Rather than strictly brushed aluminum, many manufacturers can also create options such as Dark Bronze, or Powder coats and any color customers desire. Also, different thicknesses and types of glass can be used. or different qualities like insulation, UV control, and tinting requirements.
cons
Weight
The weight of the door is typically more than a standard steel door.
Breakage
The glass used on the door can be more susceptible to breakage.
Insulation
This door is difficult to insulate and relies much on the insulation values of the glass. Also, aluminum is a decent conductor of heat and these doors do not achieve typical R values which can be obtained with insulated steel doors.
