A Guide To Exterior Doors

If you’re looking to buy a new exterior door, there’s a few things you need to keep in mind. These are the most important kinds of doors, as they need to offer security as well as insulation. To ensure you don’t make the wrong choice, we’ve put together this helpful guide.

uPVC Exterior Doors

uPVC is an incredibly popular material for exterior doors. It’s inexpensive and highly versatile, offering excellent thermal efficiency.  Their hard outer shell makes them difficult to penetrate, and they’re fitted with secure locking mechanisms to keep your home safe. uPVC is a sensible option for many homes, and comes in a range of colours and styles.

Composite Exterior Doors

Composite exterior doors can be considered as a step-up from their uPVC counterparts. They’re stronger, even more thermally efficient and very resistant to warping. This means that they are more durable and tend to last longer. Much like uPVC doors, they can come fitted with all the security features you need and are available in a range of colours and finishes.

Bi-Fold Doors

If you want something a little more dramatic, a bi-fold exterior door might be the perfect fit. These are usually used as a back door to create a seamless transition from the home to the garden. The large glazed panels bring light into the home and give you a great view outdoors. As well as that, in warmer conditions, you’ll be grateful for the option to completely open up the door and let the fresh air in.

Orangery

French & Patio Doors

If you don’t have the space for a bi-fold door or simply want something a little more understated, a French or sliding patio door is perfect. Fitted with plenty of glazing, they let in ample light and provide garden views with little obstruction. These integrate perfectly with glazed structures such as conservatories, as well as with kitchens and living areas.
