Composite doors in Binley

What should you know before starting in Binley?

The old door stays in place until the new one arrives, so you're never left without a lockable entrance.
Most composite doors take a few weeks to make, so it's worth ordering well before the colder months.
A replacement front door must reach a U-value of 1.4 W/m²K or the equivalent energy rating.
