Choices to weigh up in Leamington Spa

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.

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.

Fitting itself normally takes half a day to a full day, depending on whether side panels are included and how much making good is needed. Most of the wait is manufacture, which is usually around four to six weeks after you approve the design. You'll have a working, lockable door at the end of fitting day.
