In this post, our experts share their top tips for selecting the right door for your home and your budget.
Choose a fitting design
We provide more than 10 different styles, each of which can be customised to cater for your exact needs. As well as choosing a more traditional or contemporary design, you need to decide whether your door requires a side light. This could unlock a whole host of additional design options. Your design finish can be tailored further with your choice of glass design. The finished design of your door will ensure a great impression every time, especially if you are choosing a design for your front door.
Consider your materials
Finding the right style door for your home is more than just casting an eye over its design. The selection of materials available is just as diverse as the choice of colours and styles. Weighing up the pros and cons of materials is the best place to start to ensure quality and the best possible door finish at your property.
Alongside PVC-U and veneered doors, composite doors are an extremely popular and advantageous option. Timber core composite doors are installed in the majority of new build homes but are just as popular with those looking to upgrade their existing doors, and for good reason. Real Homes explains just some of the reasons why timber core composite rules on the door installation and upgrade scene:
“More environmentally friendly than GRP composite doors, are timber core composite doors; the timber for which is sourced from sustainable forests and can be recycled at the end of the door’s lifetime. Solid timber core doors with high-performance security features are the most secure front door available, and with a robust thermoplastic door skin, they’re also the most durable. If you look for a brand with colour applied as a vacuum-formed thermo-plastic ‘skin’, you’ll minimise scratches and eliminate the need for re-painting or touching up.”
We supply a number of composite door designs for use in traditional and contemporary homes.
Select a colour
We may have covered the coloured window frame options available in a recent blog post, but the range of colours available to you is even greater when choosing your doors. Choosing your perfect palette is no longer restricted to white and woodgrain finishes.
Choose from red, blue, green, grey, dark brown, and many (many) more and discover a colour that complements your home and reflects your personality.

As the saying goes, the devil is in the detail. This phrase is certainly applicable when adding those finishing touches to your new doors.
