Your front door plays an integral role to your home and plays a much bigger role than simply welcoming friends, family, and visitors into your home.

It plays a key role in the security of the property, the appearance and the energy efficiency of your home. It’s also a key element in increasing the kerb appeal of your home if you ever plan to sell your house.

 

Security

Your front door greets friends and family, but it’s also vital for keeping out unwanted guests. Without a sturdy front door, you could be putting your home and family at risk of burglary. A bespoke fitted front door also protects you from the elements when winter comes knocking!

 

Appearance

A front door that is worn and shabby can be detrimental to the overall appearance to your home, no matter how pristine the rest of the house may be. If you are trying to sell your house with an old, tired front door, it could be much more of a difficult job than it would be with a sturdy, secure, and stylish new door in its place.

 

Energy Efficiency

Old doors will not have the same insulating efficiency of new, made to measure doors, leading to your heating being lost through cracks, or ill-fitting installations, or worn seals that cause draughts, which will cost you more money in the long run on your heating bills, as well as increasing your carbon footprint on the environment.

As for your impact on the environment, timber doors are made from fully sustainable materials – wood – minimising the carbon footprint made in the manufacture of doors made from man-made materials.
