Doors are an important aspect of any space. Not only are they an immediate focal point as they are the entrance to a property, but they also provide privacy and security. With many different styles, colours, and textures available, they can also be a statement feature within your home.
Because of this, it can feel overwhelming when you’re faced with choosing the best door for your space. If you’re looking up upgrade your doors, we have put together this handy guide that discusses some of the types available to you and why you may choose to add them to your property.
uPVC Doors
Perhaps the most important door in your home is your front door. A common material used for these is uPVC, where an insulated steel frame is encased in un-plasticised polyvinyl chloride to create a sealed unit which is strong and thermally efficient.
Generally, uPVC doors are affordable. Their strong and robust nature means they secure your property, while their attractive appeal simultaneously enhances your façade. If you’re looking for a cost-effective and low-maintenance addition to your home, consider a new uPVC front door.
Composite Doors
Another option available to you is a composite door. Also best suited to front doors, composite doors are usually made up of a solid timber core finished with other materials such as uPVC, laminate, or fibreglass. While they can come with a bigger up-front cost, their enhanced security features can make them a worthwhile investment.
Their unique combination of materials makes them dense, resulting in an extremely robust and thermally efficient addition to your property. Available in a variety of colours, textures, and styles, it’s easy to find a unit that complements your unique aesthetic and creates a charming entrance to your home.
Patio, French & Bi-Folding Doors
Depending on where you’re thinking of upgrading your property, patio, French or bi-fold doors might be best for your space. Their large glass panels generally lend them to be suited to the side or rear of properties, where privacy isn’t so much of a concern.
Their large glass panes allow lots of light into a room, which can really open up a space. Additionally, they can help to seamlessly integrate your garden or outdoor space into your home. This ensures that you fully utilise every aspect of your property.
