Your front door is the gateway to your personal paradise, and when it comes to replacing it, there are crucial factors to consider. With a myriad of choices available, we have put together 4 top tips for selecting a new front door that suits your East London home and enhances your home improvement project.
With 33.8k crimes reported in East London last year, security should be the priority when you are searching for your new front door. They can make all the difference to how secure your home is and how safe you feel in it. A good benchmark to set is to ensure your replacement door is Secured by Design accredited.

Each of our front door materials are extremely energy efficient. To help you understand each one’s thermal strengths, let’s take a closer look:
Composite front doors
The innovative thermal performance of our composite doors in East London is due to the robust solid core (which is 10% thicker than competitor brands) and the 5-chamber uPVC outer frame. The multi-chambered design makes it harder for cold air to seep through into your home and the valuable warmth to escape. As the air has multiple layers to get through, your home in East London will remain warmer for longer and the solid core ensures a durable product.
uPVC front doors
Our uPVC doors also incorporate a multi-chamber frame and provide excellent protection against the elements in Greater London. Air-tight seals keep out any drafts and effective drainage channels ensure there are no leaks.
Aluminium front doors
Our aluminium doors utilise cutting-edge thermal break technology. A polyamide thermal barrier is positioned within the door structure to minimise heat loss and provide effective thermal insulation. This separates the aluminium frame into two separate interior and exterior sections and the ‘break’ efficiently reduces heat transfer, ensuring your home retains the perfect temperature all year round.
A replacement door can bring the charm of your home back to life, and with over 100 RAL colours, an array of hardware choices, and endless designs, your new front door can completely change the aesthetic of your home.
