October is a good month to outline eight different doors as it just so happens to be National Home Security Month.
Strap yourself in and prepare to discover the features of each style, what material they can be supplied in and if they best complement new or older homes.
A Synopsis of 8 Door Types
Flush – Largely selected as an internal door, its minimalist design is perfect for new builds.
Panel – The panels tend to be in square or rectangular form or a mash-up of both and will suit properties of practically any age.
Glazed – A glass-panelled door creates the most wonderful flow between rooms.
Stable – Rural-set locations are a common destination for this split door with separate halves.
French – Containing lengthy glazed panels, the double opening is just the tonic at traditional dwellings.
Fire – You are legally obliged to have fire-resistant doors in a home with three storeys or more.
Patio – Runs across a track with a sliding motion and can marry indoor and outdoor settings.
Bi-Fold – An accordion-type door that cleverly folds, a red-hot enhancement in contemporary properties.
The Four Main Door Materials
Your choice of door will inform the material selection, as will the kind of home you own, and there are specific features and upsides to each material.
UPVC – UPVC is highly affordable, performs excellently in soundproofing and thermal efficiency and is easy to maintain. A safe bet then for front or rear doors.
Composite – The strength of a composite door emanates from it having a multi-layered composition, just what any front entrance needs. A weather-resistant GRP external skin preserves its designer appeal.
Aluminium – Remarkably lightweight when you consider the toughness of aluminium, this door style is gorgeously sleek. We flex the material to craft bi-fold, patio and entrance doors.
Timber – Primitive timber is susceptible to decaying, whereas first-rate timber doesn’t weather and therefore needs modest upkeep. Versatile enough to be forged into multiple shapes and sizes.
Picking the Correct Door Type
View your home as individual from anything else and ensure that any door bought for it matches its characteristics. Here are some recommendations you may find helpful.
Detached – Timber or composite doors befit homes on the bigger side.
Semi-Detached – A composite door’s perfectly balanced style and security seems made for shared-wall residences.
Terraced – Sustainment couldn’t be simpler with UPVC and composite doors, worth having at a terraced home.
Period – Keep the charm of an old Georgian or Victorian house with an authentic timber door.
New Build – The sleekness of an aluminium door is beautifully in keeping with modern habitats.
