Which option fits your home?

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.

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.
