UPVC Doors – A Solid Investment
If you have just moved into a new home that’s in need of renovation then chances are that the windows and external doors need replacing and, for security reasons, these should be the first things you spend money on. As the windows and doors are points of entry into your home it’s important you ensure your family’s safety by choosing designs that are strong as well as look good. There is plenty of choice available, go online or visit your local home improvement store for inspiration and to give you an idea as to how much you need to budget for.
A front door is the focal point of a home and the first impression visitors have, a smart, beautiful design is all very well, however you also want to choose something that is strong and keeps out the cold. Once you start to research front door designs you’ll find lots of choice from classic, contemporary and ultra-modern door styles to rustic, traditional types and high security front doors.
Doors come in a range of materials, solid wood has always been traditionally used for exterior doors and, although an attractive option, they have to be regularly maintained to keep their appearance and don’t always offer the safest option against intruders. UPVC is a much stronger and safer alternative for homeowners as it is durable, weather-resistant and energy efficient.
Recently UPVC has become one of the most popular choices for the building and interior design trade. When selecting the materials and supplies for housing projects, smart construction companies and householders look at the costs involved, security, and the estimated life span of the materials before making any final decision.
UPVC is generally chosen over aluminium, cast iron, wood and other options for window and door designs, mainly because of the level of protection it offers against the elements along with its strength and low maintenance.
Style is another aspect to consider as your exterior doors should suit the period of your property. The design should compliment the rest of the house, the size of it also has to be appropriate for the scale of the building – if you live in a small bungalow then you don’t want to overwhelm it with anything too large. If you live in a traditional country cottage then you might consider a timber door, whilst a modern apartment would look good with a contemporary glass and UPVC design.
The main objective of any exterior door is to offer maximum security against intruders, as well as being sturdy and durable your door should be fitted with the right hardware such as five lever dead locks, deadbolts, Mortise locks and door viewers. Most insurance policies demand a high locking system before they will cover you so check your policy details carefully. If your desired door contains a window, or you have windows located directly next to it, you may need to fit an inside lock for extra security.
Often the hallway leading from your front door is dark, in this case it might be worth considering a half glazed door design, where the bottom half of the door is UPVC and the top half glass, this will allow the light to flow in and brighten up the area making it more welcoming. You can also find doors with two double glazed glass panels in the top half of the door, ideal if your house opens directly onto the road as it enables light to come in but is solid enough to provide privacy from passersby. Or opt for a solid door for total privacy and quiet. Art deco styles are a popular option offering various shaped windows including half-moon designs in the top section of the door.
There are lots of quality doors to be found online at competitive prices. UPVC front door are very low maintenance and guaranteed never to jam, rot or become discolored. They should meet the requirements of Security by Design, the police preferred specification for security and performance.
The safety, design and reliability of the door you choose can offer you peace of mind that you and your home are safe, as well as make a big difference to your utility bills. Updating your old exterior doors to UPVC is an investment and will add value to your home.
