How To Design Your Own Composite Door
You might think that a front door doesnt matter or that there are only a couple of choices to go for but these days, the possibilities quite frankly are almost endless, that is when youre buying a composite front door. If youre house proud and want to do something more impressive than just installing an off the shelf composite front door, then the option to design your own composite door is an exciting one.
Companies know that windows and doors arent just functional to people any more, theyre design features. While we all definitely want our doors and windows to be secure and insulated, we also want them to be attractive and fit with the style of our homes. A front door can be solid, glazed or a combination of the two so thats really the first choice to make. Once youve decided that, its time to think what would fit best with the style of your property, would this be wood effect, something high gloss, a bright colour or some rococo glazed panels?
The best door companies will offer a step by step guide to designing your own front door and will also have a professional team on hand to offer advice and guidance should you need or want it. At no point in the process should you feel overwhelmed or stranded and if you do then it might be that youve chosen the wrong door company and its time to look around. You can usually get a good feel for whether a company is reliable and has a good reputation from the information it gives on its website but beware of choosing a company just because its site is nicely designed, its worth digging a little deeper before you commit.
You will start with the door frame before moving on to the door style, in other words the overall shape and the number of glazed panels if any. Youll then be asked to select the type of glass you wish to use (if any) before choosing the colour and finish of your hardware (frame, handles, knockers and so on). Then select the colour of the frame and the overall door before giving the measurements of your door space and details of where you live. All these things will allow the company to quote for your composite front door and allow you to see what the finished product will look like.
