Installing a new front door instantly adds kerb appeal to a property and can provide a stunning impact to an entrance. An updated door also has the advantage of having a modern, more robust construction and contemporary security features.
Durability
Composite Doors
Composite doors made from compression moulded GRP (Glass Reinforced Polyester) are recommended for external doors because they are strong and built to last. Composite doors are built with a weather resistant outer layer. They are stronger than uPVC doors and do not warp like timber doors. Composite doors offer the strength of a timber door with the insulation and security benefits of an uPVC door. The foam core of a composite door provides great thermal insulation.
uPVC Doors
uPVC front doors are a popular choice because they are highly weather resistant and require very little maintenance. They are built with a reinforced core for added strength and durability.
Hardwood Doors
Hardwood doors are sturdy, but require painting or varnishing periodically, and are prone to becoming warped, chipped or rotten.
Aesthetics
A stunning entrance door creates a great first impression and sets the tone for the internal design of the property. A grand entryway makes a strong statement, adds an element of style and will increase the value of your home without spending a huge amount on a major renovation. Chiltern Home Improvements build and fit new doors in a range of eye-catching designs, available in a wide selection of colours and styles to compliment the architecture of your property. Decorative glass options add a unique feature and provide added privacy. Attractive door furniture such as handles, letterboxes and door knockers, enhance the character and distinction of the property.
Security
Keeping your family and your possessions safe is paramount, and a new front door from Chiltern Home Improvements comes with the latest locking technology with a multi-point locking mechanism and a fully reinforced door frame for increased security for added peace of mind. High-performance hinges and toughened glass also provide an extra level of security. All of our doors and locking systems comply with British Standards. All doors come with the Police Standard ‘Secured by Design.’
Insulation
Installing a new entrance door will have the immediate effect of reducing your energy bills due to the improved insulation and excellent heat retention provided by the new door. A good quality door with an advanced core and new seals will not only keep out the draughts but also benefit from outside noise reduction. The option of double or triple glazing increases the energy efficiency of your home by reducing heat loss.
