Some knowledge is handy if you’re ready for a door upgrade so that you have awareness of how the different designs function and know what they’ll each add.
It’s an on-trend topic to discuss as October is officially National Home Security Month.
So, let’s delve into eight door types, provide an overview of what materials you can have them made from, and explain which suits newer and older residences.
A Short Rundown of 8 Door Varieties
Flush – The modest and uncomplicated styling of a flush door works nicely as an internal door in new builds.
Panel – Has panels in square or rectangular shape (or both), complementing homes of every era.
Glazed – Encourage an enticing flow between adjoining spaces thanks to their glass panelling.
Stable – With two sections, top and bottom, you can preserve safety and lure in ventilation at the same time.
French – Viewed favourably by owners of traditional dwellings, the large panels offer a generous double opening.
Fire – It is compulsory to have fire-resistant doors installed in homes with three storeys and more.
Patio – Merge your indoor and outdoor spaces using the effortless sliding operation.
Bi-Fold – Employs a folding mechanism so that you can establish a hugely unrestricted opening.
Exploring Door Materials
Some door styles and materials are meant to be together and there are lots of benefits and features to speak about.
UPVC – The affordability of UPVC will stand out to those wanting a low-cost solution and it offers superb thermal efficiency and soundproofing. Any UPVC front or back door is also very easy to maintain.
Composite – The strength of a composite door is noteworthy, but no real surprise when it is fashioned using several resilient materials. Its weather-resistant GRP outer skin stops its appearance from ageing.
Aluminium – Sleek looks define an aluminium door, as does its resounding toughness. Because aluminium is so malleable, you can craft it to produce bi-folds, patio and entrance doors.
Timber – Weathering manifests easily on timber doors built using low-level timber, but not on those made from high-quality wood. Doors that are wood based come in all sorts of shapes and sizes.
Finding the Correct Door
Your chosen door needs to be in keeping with your home’s style and character so that it expertly fuses in. These recommendations will put you on the right course towards a suitable door.
Detached – Elevate kerb appeal at larger homes with composite or timber doors.
Semi-Detached – Homes with a shared-wall will profit from a composite door’s balanced style and security.
Terraced – Door care is minimal when you have a UPVC or composite door, perfect for that terraced haven.
Period – Period-inspired designs revive and retain the authentic character of Georgian and Victorian properties.
New Build – The sleek aesthetics of an aluminium door align to upmarket new builds.
