Front Door Glass

We've talked about Front Door Designs, I think it's time we talked about new front doors and glass options.

When buying a composite door, there are many options for you to choose from. Designs, colours, hardware, accessories, thresholds, side panels.. You really can create your perfect door, rather than just going to a diy department store and buying a generic door that may or may not meet your every need.

Once you've chosen the important options of your new front door, you can start thinking about the appearance. Composite doors come in seven different colours and each style has a number of glass designs.

For modern and minimalist front doors, you can choose Zinc abstract art designs to add character to your property.
People who prefer more everyday front door design may prefer the diamond range. These feature diamonds in a colour of your choice, from blue, green, red or 'diamond'.
The Harmony range adds style and elegance to your new front door. Again, you can choose the border colour you like from green, blue, red or 'frost'.
Those who prefer individualism when it comes to the style and appearance of their front door can choose from the unique Murano range.
There's also a selection of other glasses to use in your composite door. Several different styles are available which feature roses and floral designs.

Front door glasses come with additional options - they can be backed with obscure glass to protect your privacy (again, there are a number of designs to choose your favourite style and preferred level of privacy) and for the security-conscious, the option of laminated glass to protect your house and family.

Front Doors & Design

Last post, I talked about the different front door styles. This post covers the composite door designs on offer.

Composite doors come in seven different designs. Some of these designs have different glazing options - ranging from one glass panel to several glass panels. Overall, there are fourteen different doors you can choose from.


The Westminster Composite Door


A classic design that features six panels. It comes in 3 options - unglazed, 2 glazed panels or 4 glazed panels. For those who like their privacy but want to allow light into their entrance hall, the 2 glazed panel design is perfect, allowing light to filter through two small windows in the top of the door without allowing visitors to easily see inside.


The Kensignton Composite Door


A simple, smart design, featuring the standard four panels. Available without glazing or with the top two panels glazed. Suited to most doorways, this design is a firm favourite.


The Chigwell Composite Door


Very similar to the Kensington door, but with slightly more stylised upper panels. Only available in one option, with two glazed upper panels.


The Dalston Composite Door


Another variation on the Kensington, but with two arched upper panels. Again, only available in one option with two glazed panels.


The Mayfair Composite Door


A very fine and attractive design, the Mayfair features a wheel window at the top of the door. This design is available in 3 glazing options - the first with a panelled wheel, the second with a plain 1 panel wheel and the last a plain 1 panel wheel with two glazed panels.


The Trafalgar Composite Door


This door makes a brilliant back door. Available in two options, both featuring one large rectangular window.


The Finsbury Composite Door


For those who have a dark hallway, the Finsbury is an excellent choice. With the choice of one large arched window or a panelled window, you can ensure the light passes into your home.

Each glazed design comes with a number of glass designs to suit your tastes. If you're worried about privacy, there's a large range of obscure backing glasses to protect your interior from prying eyes.
