Options to consider in Burntwood

Security upgrades

Doors can be specified with anti-snap cylinders, multi-point locking, hinge-side protection and laminated glass. Some doorsets are tested to the PAS 24 enhanced security standard or carry Secured by Design status. If that matters to your insurer, ask for it at survey and it will be named in your specification.

Solid front door

A fully solid slab with no glass gives the most privacy and the best insulation. It suits halls that already get light from a side panel or fanlight. Many styles add raised or flat moulded panels, so a solid door needn't look plain, and a spy hole or door chain can be added for checking callers.

What guarantee comes with a composite door?

Guarantees often treat colour fading, sealed units and locks differently, so it's worth reading those lines. Keep the paperwork with any certification for when you sell.

Will I need permission from the council in Burntwood?

You won't usually need planning permission, but the work must meet Building Regulations. Building control in Burntwood is provided by Lichfield District Council or a registered building control approver, and some work is self-certified by registered installers.
