We’re about to change that though by providing insight into traditional and modern doors, notifying you of how they function, and outlining how these doors will magnify your home.
It seems timely to discuss secure doors as October is officially National Home Security Month and as we know, doors are integral to keeping you secure at home.
A breakdown of 8 door types, the materials you can have them supplied in and what home styles they suit follows.
8 Doors Summarised
Flush – Most regularly found inside new build properties, typified by their minimalist aesthetic.
Panel – Made up of a mix of or exclusively square or rectangular panels, compatible with any residence.
Glazed – The glass panelling initiates a healthy light flow from one space to the next.
Stable – Exhibits a wood-like appearance and contains individual opening top and bottom sections.
French – Classical and traditional dwellings can be opened with the generously large double opening panels.
Fire – Safety laws stipulate inclusion of fire-resistant doors in homes containing three storeys or more.
Patio – Merge the indoors and outdoors using the undemanding sliding operation.
Bi-Fold – Hugely coveted now and its accordion-type mechanism will preserve space.
Material Options
Some materials couple particularly well with certain types of doors and the two things combined offer endless benefits.
UPVC – UPVC ranks top for affordability and despite its low-cost, still manages to deliver outstanding thermal efficiency, as well as being simple to maintain. Rely on it as a safe bet for front and rear doors.
Composite – The robustness of a composite door stems from it being composed of a series of resilient materials meshed together. Its weather-resistant exterior, thanks to a GRP outer skin, stops the door from ageing.
Aluminium – An aluminium door’s colossal strength defies logic when you consider how light it is. Similarly, you wouldn’t expect it to have the malleability to craft the sleekest bi-folds, patio and entrance doors.
Timber – Employment of high-quality timber avoids the decaying that manifests in wooden doors manufactured from low-level timber and reduces upkeep. Wood’s versatility enables many shapes and sizes to be accomplished.
Getting Door Selection Right
Your home is unique, and you need a door that fits its character. Here’s some advice on how to choose the correct door.
Detached – Composite and timber doors are suited to homes on the large side.
Semi-Detached – If you have a home with a shared-wall, the perfectly balanced security and style of a composite door will befit the property.
Terraced – For effortless maintenance at terraced dwellings, look to UPVC and composite doors.
Period – A timber door will be a sympathetic addition to Georgian and Victorian properties.
New Build – An injection of sleek elegance comes with the integration of an aluminium door into a new build.
