Traditional or Modern Front Door Ideas
You have the freedom of choice, as our doors offer you the opportunity to select a design that is as modern or as traditional as you wish. One of the most common and popular methods of designing a modern door is to use uPVC as a material, either for the main body of the door or for the frame. This provides a clean, polished look which requires minimal effort to be kept in an excellent condition, and can easily be blended with any architectural style.
If you wish to add a touch of timeless elegance to your home, you may instead opt for a composite door that brings the aesthetic charm of wood doors and a myriad of paint colours. Combining this with a cottage style front door is almost guaranteed to result in a property that will draw eyes with its attractive, classical appearance, earning your property the curb appeal it deserves.
Front Door Colour Ideas
The design element that often makes front entrances stand out from the crowd in the modern day is the colour the homeowner chooses to paint it. Under the right circumstances, your door may not only bring a splash of colour to your home, but may even make it a gorgeous new feature of the entire street. Would a deep Opal Green or Peacock Blue composite door become a natural focal point in a contemporary, suburban red brick house? Would a White, Duck Egg Blue or other pastel shade lend an extra, countrified charm to a cottage style door on a more traditional property? You may even consider a sleek, futuristic look with black or grey on a brand-new house. The choice is completely yours, with the colours we have available for our products.
Front Door Security
Having a stunning front door which offers bright exterior paint colours and a classical or contemporary design of your choosing may be at the forefront of your mind, but have you considered how secure your new front door should be?
Ensuring that your home’s safety is not compromised can easily be achieved by installing any number of additional security features, such as high quality primary door locks, deadbolts and bolt chains, as well as door viewers such as spyholes. Having these may not only prevent your home from being broken into, but will also offer you the opportunity to view the exterior of your property and see who is calling, if you are not expecting visitors.
The door you choose for your property may also make a difference in the levels of security offered to your home. Composite and uPVC doors, for example, are made from durable, long-lasting materials that will protect any property from both elements and intruders alike. Selecting one of these door types for your home, along with sturdy and reliable locks and a feature such as shatterproof double glazed glass, can ensure the safety of your loved ones and most precious belongings where other doors may give way.
Front Door Energy
Choosing to add double or even triple glazed glass to your door’s design may also bring levels of thermal efficiency to your home that you may not have previously considered. As these glass pane types allow for sunlight to pass through into a room, the heat brought inside will become trapped behind insulation, both in the walls of a brick house and in the materials used to create composite and uPVC doors. Think of how much money you may save on your energy bills each year by making this simple change, as the warmth from your home will no longer be lost through its hallway or front room, meaning you can comfortably turn down your thermostat even on cooler days.
