Choices to weigh up in Cannock

Door with side panels or top light

Side panels and fanlights make a wider, brighter entrance and are often found on 1930s and post-war semis. They're made as one frame with the door, usually in matching glass. A wider frame costs more, and glass in panels close to the door must be safety glass under Approved Document K.

Part-glazed or half-glazed door

Glass in the top half or a narrow strip lets daylight into a dark hallway. Door glass must be safety glass up to 1,500 mm from the floor, and you can choose obscure, textured or decorative glass for privacy. If more than half of the door face is glass, the installation must be certified under the Building Regulations.

Questions about composite doors in Cannock

Will I be without a front door for long?

No. The old door stays in until the new one is on site, and we remove and fit in the same visit. The opening is only empty for a short time while the frame goes in, and the door is hung and locked before we leave. If anything unexpected turns up in the opening, we'll make it secure before going.
