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 Door Security - Secured by Design

If you live in the UK, you can be assured that when you buy a product endorsed by the Secured by Design scheme, you are getting a high quality security product.

Secured by Design is an initiative set up by the UK Police. Its aim is to phase out security flaws within products, by subjecting them to more severe tests than standard security tests. If a product passes these intense tests, it is approved as being Secured by Design.

Many products don't make it through the vigorous tests, but composite doors are one of the few front doors to pass with flying colours.

New Front Door Appearance

There are many different styles and colours of new front doors. Choosing can be easy if you take in to consideration the overall style of your home. Modern doors come in a range of designs which range from classic and traditional to more modern designs. Simple or extravagent, you are likely to easily find something which suits you.

When you have chosen the overall design of your door, it is time to think about the other aesthetic options. Composite doors come in seven external colours. No matter what colour the outside, the inside is white so that your hallway will always be light and airy. This means you can happily choose a darker colour, such as black or dark wood, and you will not have to worry about the interior being too gloomy or not matching your colour scheme. Although the doors are made from a GRP skin, they do not look plasticy. They have been finished with an attractive, deep woodgrain appearance. Because of the composite materials used, the door doesn't need to be sanded or painted again. UV protection and a high resistance to any cosmetic damage will keep the door looking bright and fresh.

If you choose a composite door with glazing, you will have to decide on a window design. Again, there are many choices over a range of different styles. There are colourful designs and more subtle, elegant designs. People who choose front doors with large windows often worry about their privacy. With composite doors this is not a problem. There are obscure glasses with different levels of privacy which back the glass, allowing you to have the external design of your choice AND the privacy.

Not only do you get to choose the main customisations of your door, but you also get to select the finer details. Select the door hardware that suits your needs and then match the finish of that hardware to your already chosen door style.

By the time you have finished, you will have created your perfect door, unique to your tastes and home.
