Which option fits your home?

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.

Back and side doors

Composite back doors use the same construction as front doors, typically in a simpler panel style. They're a good swap for a tired uPVC kitchen or utility door that has dropped or lets in draughts. A low threshold can be specified where a step makes access difficult, though it needs careful detailing to keep rain out.

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.

Who approves composite doors in Penkridge?
