The four most common door materials
Choosing the right door goes hand in hand with picking the perfect material, tailored to your home’s character. Each material brings its own set of delightful features and benefits.
UPVC – If you’re looking for an affordable option that doesn’t compromise on quality, UPVC is your go-to. It excels in soundproofing and thermal efficiency, all while being incredibly easy to maintain.
Composite – For those seeking strength with style, composite doors have got you covered. Their multi-layered construction provides unbeatable durability, making them ideal for front entrances. Plus, with a weather-resistant GRP outer layer, they keep their designer flair regardless of the elements.
Aluminium – Surprisingly lightweight yet incredibly durable, aluminium doors offer a stunningly sleek aesthetic. We expertly shape this versatile material to create bi-fold, patio, and entrance doors that elevate any space.
Timber – While raw timber can be prone to decay, high-quality timber stands strong against the elements and requires minimal maintenance. Its versatility allows for crafting doors in a variety of shapes and sizes, adding warmth and character to your home.
Choosing the right style of door
Consider your home as a unique entity, and ensure that any door you choose complements its distinctive features. Here are some helpful tips to guide your selection.
Detached – For spacious homes, timber or composite doors bring a touch of elegance while enhancing their grandeur.
Semi-Detached – A composite door strikes the perfect balance between style and security, making it an excellent choice for homes with shared walls.
Terraced – With UPVC and composite doors, maintenance becomes a breeze, making them a smart and stylish option for terraced residences.
Period – Keep the timeless allure of your Georgian or Victorian property alive with a beautifully crafted authentic timber door.
New Build – The modern sleekness of an aluminium door effortlessly complements the contemporary design of new builds.
