Different Styles of Composite Doors Available
Every family is different. And so each home in the UK should include slightly different design features that reflect the tastes of those inside. Your front door is an easy way to create a unique appearance on your home and composite doors provide all of the options you need.
What are the different styles available in composite product lines?
Door Styles
Composite products are available in many different door styles. You can opt for the convenience and casual styling of stable doors, providing the ability to open up only the top half of your door. Or if a wider opening is needed, double doors are also available. There are many sizes of both stable and double doors available, providing you with tons of options and the durability you’ve come to expect with composite products.
Glass Inserts
One way to dress up your front door is with a glass insert. Sidelights will provide you with plenty of natural light inside the front entrance, although they will require some room in the wall where your door is installed. Fanlights can be installed above the door if room permits and provide a majestic front entrance that allows sunshine to pour in.
Glass inserts can also be installed into the door to create a distinct style. Crescent doors are made with a series of small windows laid out in an arched pattern. Half moon doors include a window shaped in a crescent, generally installed in the top of the door and often boasting etched or coloured glass.
Other composite doors that use windows to depict a certain style include the twin glazed and single Georgian. Twin glazed styles have two thinner glass inserts installed side by side. They are generally more secure than those with a full sized window, although all of the glass inserts include double glazing for the ultimate security and energy efficiency. Single Georgian styles include one long, thin window that runs from the top to the bottom of the door. Providing even more light that twin glazed doors do, this style has a distinctive modern look that many homeowners love.
All of the different styles available in composite products present the same benefits of durability and strength. They are maintenance free and extremely resistant to force, providing the security your family deserves. All you need to do is choose the style and colour that suits your home best. There are composite doors available in a wide range of budgets and sizes – it is a simple process to find the perfect front door for your home.
New Requirements for Fire Doors in UK Homes
Back in October of 2010 new Building Regulations came into effect. These changes relate to new builds as well as those instances where doors are replaced or added in an existing home. Although the changes focus on energy efficiency levels, updated regulations for fire doors are also included. Homeowners and builders need to be familiar with these changes and how they will benefit the comfort levels inside your home, as well as the level of security.
Composite doors can be front doors, back doors and due to their construction and abilities they make perfect fire doors as well. Go online to learn more and even design your own with many composite door specialists able to do this for you.
