Our electric composite driveway gates combine a strong aluminium frame with durable composite infill boards and are driven by a gate automation system for hands-free access control. At the touch of a button, your automatic gate opens and closes seamlessly, giving you convenient, secure access without leaving your vehicle.
Composite gates are a popular alternative to traditional timber. Built from engineered composite materials, the infill boards are designed to replicate the appearance of real wood, without the maintenance associated with natural material. The result is a durable, low-maintenance gate that offers durability while featuring the timeless appearance of hardwood.
At Aluminium Gates UK, our composite electric driveway gates are manufactured in the UK using premium-grade composite boards and robust aluminium frames. With over 10 years of hands-on manufacturing and installation experience, we offer expert support from production to final fitting.

Why Choose Composite Over Timber or Aluminium?
Our composite electric driveway gates hit a sweet spot, combining the advantages of both timber and aluminium. The infill boards offer the classic warmth of real wood without the upkeep requirements, while the aluminium frame provides the structural strength and corrosion resistance the automation system demands.
Hardwood requires regular painting, staining and sealing to remain presentable. Left untreated, it rots, warps and splinters. Our composite materials are engineered to avoid all of this.
Compared to a plain aluminium gate, our composite gates bring a richer, more traditional style to a property’s entrance. They’re perfect to match houses with a heritage aesthetic without sacrificing the convenience of full automation.
