    Residential Doors

    From functional and simple to elegant and luxurious, doors have come a long way. No longer is a door an afterthought or something that is only functional. Doors have become a design element in their own right. With so many different styles, materials and finishes to choose from, there is a door to suit every taste.

    There are many types of residential doors available on the market today, from traditional wooden doors to modern composite doors. With such a wide range of styles and materials to choose from, it can be mind-boggling to know where to start.

    At Styleglaze, we have over 30 years of experience in the door industry, so we’re well-placed to offer advice on choosing the right doors for your home.

    Back Doors & Patio Doors

    At first glance, it may seem that back doors and patio doors are all the same. After all, they all have a (usually white) frame and glass. This couldn’t be further from the truth. The most popular colour is indeed white but that’s often all that is in common for different ranges of doors.

    The longevity of your door will depend on the quality of uPVC or aluminium, the amount of aluminium within the frame, the way that the glazing is sealed, and many other technical details that go into making a secure, durable, quality door.

    Make a Statement

    An entrance door is more than a way into the house. It is the way guests are welcomed, it is a symbol of the homeowners’ taste, and it sets the tone for the rest of the house. In short, choosing the right entrance door is important, not least of all, you see it every time you walk up your path to let yourself in.

    There are many factors to consider when choosing an entrance door. In Daventry, the most popular choice is a composite door. A composite door has everything you need. Style, value, durability, and security.

    Patio Doors

    The right patio doors make such a difference to the way you live. They bring the outside in and can completely transform a room. And with so many different styles to choose from, you’re sure to find the perfect doors for your home.

    Space is the biggest influence on the choice. Sliding doors if you want the doors to stay in their own space. Bifold doors if you want to fully open the doors. French doors for smaller space, often to replace existing windows without changing the lintel.

    French Doors

    If you’re looking for a stylish and elegant addition to your home that will also let in plenty of natural light, french doors are a perfect choice. They come in a variety of styles to suit any type of home, and their unique design will add a touch of elegance and distinction to your home.

    Usually, the French doors are made to the same width as the window so that the lintel can remain in place for minimal disruption. It is lovely to open up French doors to the garden and let fresh air fill the house.

    Bifold Doors

    Bifold doors are a great way to open up a room and connect the indoors with the outdoors. Bifold doors are made up of a series of panels that fold back on themselves. This means they can be opened up fully, making them ideal for rooms where you want to create a sense of space that flows seamlessly into the garden.

    The choice of where you place the master door gives you the flexibility of using it simply as a back door when you just want to step outside without opening up the whole wall.

    Back Doors

    The humble back door has come a long way. No longer is it an afterthought or just a functional door to the garden. In many homes, the back door is now seen as an important design feature in its own right. Just like an entrance door, a back door can say a lot about the style of your home. It can also be a practical solution for linking the indoors with the outdoors.

    We have seen increasing requests recently, for back doors that match the front door, often with a slightly different design such as a stable door or glazed top half.

    Door Choices

    Residential doors are broken down into two categories. Front Doors and back doors. Although there are no set rules about the doors you choose, generally speaking, the front door will be mostly solid and made out of wood, composite, uPVC, aluminium or a combination. Although you may choose to glaze sections, often this is obscure or decorated to preserve some privacy. Back doors, whether they are simple kitchen entrances or substantial patio doors, tend to be mostly glazed.

    Material Choices for Front Doors
    The most popular choice for front doors is composite. When looking at a balance of style, options, security, durability and value, composite will come out top. uPVC is cheaper but there will be some compromise in at least one of the standards offered by composite. Aluminium front doors are always the architect’s choice. They are high-end and can be designed with a range of features such as fingerprint recognition, auto-locking, thermal insulation, and LED lights.
    Aluminium or uPVC Doors?
    When compared to aluminium patio doors and back doors, uPVC doors come out on top in terms of cost and are cheaper than aluminium. You also have more variety for quality standards with uPVC. You can buy extremely cheap doors but they are rarely worth it in the long term. Stretching the budget a bit could prove well worth it when build quality and finish are taken into account regardless of which material you choose.
