With the winter season well and truly here, cold temperatures and dark nights mean nothing feels better than being tucked up at home, all warm and safe. One often-overlooked aspect of winter preparation of your house is the front door, which serves as the gateway to your home and plays a significant role in ensuring your comfort and safety.
Chances are an older front door won’t be fitting quite as tightly in its frame as when it was installed, meaning that draughts will be getting in, while it won’t be as strong and secure. Upgrading your front door with a modern replacement is the perfect way to feel cosy and secure.
Complete peace of mind
A secure front door is the first line of defence against potential intruders and with the long nights of winter it’s crucial to ensure your home is protected. Upgrading your front door can significantly enhance your security. Modern front doors are constructed using robust materials, such as solid timber, uPVC or GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic), and have solid cores and resilient frames, all of which are highly resistant to forced entry. They also feature advanced multi-point locking systems to boost security.
Save energy
Winter often means higher heating bills, so upgrading your front door to an energy efficiency door can help to reduce your energy costs and keep your home comfortable, while also contributing to a more environmentally-friendly home. Composite doors, for example, feature rigid thermally efficient composite panels to eliminate any draughts from entering your home, while the solid core stops warmth being lost from inside. Doors with A+ rated glass in them will also help insulation.
The perfect look
Your front door is one of the first things guests and passersby notice about your home and you don’t have to compromise on style with great performance from a modern front door replacement either. No matter what the style of your home, whether you need a traditional front door or a sleek, modern door, there are plenty of door designs to choose from in an array of eye-catching colours and foil colour options. You can also incorporate decorative glass panels and stylish hardware to add character and charm.
