When choosing what front door to have for your home, there are many things to consider. The front door is one of the first elements that is noticed and can say a lot about you and your family. Here is a guide on how to find a good front door, to help you choose the perfect one for your home.

Efficiency

Your front door is the main barrier between your front room or hallway and the outside. An inefficient door will lose heat, increasing your energy bills. A good front door needs to be effective at keeping the cold out and the heat in.

Our composite doors have a high-density core that provides efficient insulation as well as being multi-layered for added protection. They more than meet the current building regulations for energy efficiency. When high performing glass is added you won’t find a more effective and insulating door. Completely weather and airtight, they will protect you in every season.

Security

As well as protecting you from the elements, your front door also protects you from intruders. Composite doors are known for providing superb security. This is achieved with efficient locking mechanisms and a door that is thicker and stronger than timber or uPVC. Lock bumping is becoming one of the most common ways of thieves breaking into properties. You should ensure that you choose a door with an anti-bump cylinder to counter this.

Our doors offer unrivalled security with multi-point locking mechanisms. They easily surpass the requirements for PAS24 and Secured by Design. You can be ensured that when you choose a composite door from us, your family and home are safe.

Design

How your front door looks is extremely important. It’s your first chance to let your personality shine through your home. Unlike some other aspects of your house, this is one that you can make your own. Choose a design and colour that fits in with your style. Take inspiration from the rest of your home’s décor and what your neighbours doors look like.

With Glass Reinforced Plastic skins, composite doors have intricate panel detailing and a woodgrain finish. This makes them an extremely attractive and appealing option; the beauty of a timber door without the hassle.
