Nowadays, there are more door options available than ever before. Timber, a material humans have used for centuries, now has a variety of other materials to compete with and all of them possess their own distinctive advantages. Over the last 10 years composite doors, in particular, have become incredibly popular and can now be seen on homes up and down the UK.
Styles
Not only are there more materials, but there are other styles too. Bifold doors are one of the recent door innovations and they can dramatically alter the way your home looks and feels. For a classic traditional aesthetic, French doors are always a fantastic choice, while composite doors are proving to be increasingly popular with St Albans homeowners. Regardless of which door you require, at Budget Windows we guarantee it will be stylish, secure and energy-efficient. This is because we’ve taken the time to stock a quality selection of doors that feature high-performance double glazing. As always when using us to meet your home-improvement requirements, you’re guaranteed competitive pricing too.
Security
Our doors promise high levels of security, having been tested to ensure that they are as resistant to any potential intruders as possible. One of the main security features of our doors is the addition of multi-point locking systems, which in turn help to secure the doors at several points of the frame. Also, we offer the Ultion lock with any one of our front or back doors. The Ultion lock is one of the most secure on the market and would increase the security of your door significantly. In terms of the glazing of the doors, we install each frame with toughened glass and utilise internal glazing. Being internally glazed, the glass is fitted inside the frame and so cannot be removed from the outside.
Energy efficiency
Each of the uPVC, timber and aluminium materials available all utilise the latest thermal technology. This therefore will have a significantly positive effect on helping to reduce your heating bills. For example, our uPVC French doors are designed with a profile that has a number of chambers within the frame. The chambers allow significant amounts of heat to become trapped, which in turn allows a considerable quantity is able to be retained inside your property.
Customisation
There are a fantastic range of customisable options for all of our front and back doors. For example, with our bifold and patio doors, there is a selection of configurations available – you are able to choose from between two and eight door leaves, with sizes of each panel being able to be tailored to perfectly suit your property and various height and width restrictions. Our doors feature customisation options, including handles, door knobs and knockers and letterplates. A variety of colour options are on offer too, with selections such as pewter, chrome and brass all available to really make your door stand out.
