Budget-friendly uPVC doors with modern performance
uPVC doors (also commonly searched as PVC doors) are the most affordable external door choice in the UK. The plastic polymer construction delivers good thermal performance, weather resistance, multi-point security and minimal maintenance at a price point below composite, wooden and hybrid alternatives.
We supply and fit uPVC doors across an 80 km radius of our Rushden showroom, with the full range of uPVC front doors, uPVC back doors, French door configurations and PVC sliding door options.
uPVC doors are manufactured from extruded unplasticised polyvinyl chloride profiles. The “U” in uPVC stands for unplasticised, which is what makes the material structurally suitable for door and window frames rather than the softer PVC used in pipes and flexible products.
Modern uPVC doors use multi-chamber profiles with internal steel or aluminium reinforcement at the locking points. The multiple chambers reduce heat transfer through the frame, while the reinforcement gives the door the structural strength needed for multi-point locking and reliable long-term operation.
Compared with composite doors, uPVC doors cost 30 to 40% less but deliver lower thermal performance and slightly lower security ratings as standard. Compared with wooden doors, uPVC doors require essentially no maintenance and don’t warp, split or need re-oiling. Compared with hybrid doors, uPVC sits at the budget end of the market while still delivering the basics of security and weather protection.
uPVC front doors are the budget-friendly front entrance choice. The modern uPVC front door range has moved well beyond the white plastic doors of the 1990s, with painted finishes in the full RAL palette and realistic wood-grain foil options that read as timber from arm’s length.
Our uPVC front doors are built on VEKA profiles with multi-point hook locking, TS 007 3-Star anti-snap cylinders and PAS 24 certification available across the range. Standard uPVC front door colours include classic white, anthracite grey, black, traditional cream, chartwell green and Oxford blue.
uPVC front doors typically cost £900 to £1,300 fitted in the UK. Supply-only pricing sits around £700 to £1,000.
uPVC back doors are the most popular back door choice in the UK because the rear elevation doesn’t usually drive kerb appeal in the same way the front does. uPVC delivers the security and weather performance needed at a lower price point than composite or hybrid alternatives.
Our uPVC back doors come with multi-point hook locking as standard, TS 007 cylinder upgrades available, and the same colour and glazing options as uPVC front doors. Half-glazed uPVC back doors with privacy glass are popular for utility rooms and garden access where daylight in the back hallway matters.
uPVC back doors typically cost £800 to £1,200 fitted, slightly less than uPVC front doors because the security spec doesn’t always need to be at the full PAS 24 level.
For homeowners replacing uPVC doors and windows together, we offer combined packages across the full VEKA profile range. Matched profiles, colours and hardware finishes across doors and windows deliver a coordinated look across the whole property.
Common uPVC doors and windows packages include front door plus front-elevation windows in matching anthracite grey or black, back door plus rear-elevation windows in coordinated colours, and full-house replacements where every window and door upgrades at the same time.
For window-specific information, see our windows range pages. The two products share the same VEKA profile family and FENSA-registered installation process.
The terms “uPVC doors” and “PVC doors” are used interchangeably by UK homeowners, though uPVC is the technically correct term for door and window applications. The 7,700 monthly UK searches for PVC doors and the 28,100 searches for uPVC doors reflect the two ways homeowners describe the same product category.
PVC sliding door configurations, PVC folding door alternatives and standard PVC front and back doors all describe the same uPVC door range. We use both spellings depending on what homeowners search for, but the underlying products are identical regardless of the spelling.
uPVC sliding doors deliver wide horizontal-sliding patio openings at the most affordable price point in the patio door market. Where aluminium sliding patio doors run £3,000 to £6,000+ fitted, uPVC sliding doors and PVC sliding door alternatives typically cost £2,000 to £4,000 fitted depending on size and panel count.
Our uPVC sliding doors use VEKA Imagine profiles with double or triple glazing options, multi-point hook locking, and the same threshold options as aluminium alternatives. The slim 67mm profile keeps the visible frame minimal while housing the multi-track running gear.
For the full sliding patio door range including aluminium alternatives, see our patio doors page.
uPVC French doors deliver the traditional French door look at a budget-friendly price point. The two-leaf design with multi-point locking on each leaf delivers good security and weather performance, with the full VEKA colour range and decorative glass options available.
uPVC French doors typically cost £1,500 to £2,500 fitted depending on size, glazing and colour. The price sits below composite or aluminium French door alternatives, which is why uPVC remains the volume choice for residential French door installations.
For the full French door range, see our French doors page.
uPVC doors take around 5 to 6 weeks for delivery and fitting. Standard colours deliver at the shorter end of the range. Custom RAL colours and made-to-measure configurations push lead times longer.
Installation is typically a one-day job. Our FENSA-registered installers handle the survey, removal of the old door, frame fitting, weather sealing and final commissioning. The FENSA certificate is issued at handover.
uPVC doors fitted typically cost £900 to £1,300 for a front door, £800 to £1,200 for a back door, £1,500 to £2,500 for uPVC French doors, and £2,000 to £4,000 for uPVC sliding doors. Supply-only pricing sits around 25 to 30% below fitted prices. The final price depends on size, colour, glazing and security spec.
Yes, modern uPVC doors are secure when fitted with multi-point hook locking, TS 007 anti-snap cylinders and PAS 24 doorset certification. Our uPVC doors come with these specifications as standard. Secured by Design accreditation is available as an upgrade for properties wanting the highest residential security rating.
uPVC doors and PVC doors are essentially the same product with different naming. uPVC (unplasticised polyvinyl chloride) is the technically correct term for door and window applications. PVC is the more general term homeowners often use. The 7,700 monthly searches for PVC doors and 28,100 for uPVC doors describe the same door category.
A well-maintained uPVC door lasts 20 to 25 years on average. Modern uPVC profiles with multi-chamber construction and steel reinforcement hold their thermal performance and structural integrity for decades without significant degradation. Twice-yearly hinge and lock lubrication plus annual frame cleaning is all the maintenance needed.
uPVC doors are manufactured entirely from plastic polymer profiles with internal reinforcement. Composite doors have a GRP outer skin, foam-insulated core and reinforced timber sub-frame. Composite doors deliver better thermal performance, security and durability than uPVC, but cost 30 to 40% more. uPVC remains popular for budget-focused projects.
PVC door price ranges from £390 supply-only for basic budget uPVC doors up to £1,300 fitted for standard-spec uPVC front doors. Premium uPVC doors with custom RAL colours, decorative glazing and PAS 24 certification push toward £1,800 to £2,500 fitted. The PVC door price reflects size, colour, glazing and locking spec.

PVC folding door alternatives to aluminium bifold systems deliver the folding-door aesthetic at lower cost. Best for smaller openings where the wider sightlines of uPVC bifold profiles aren’t a visual concern.
For wider openings where slim sightlines matter, aluminium bifold doors deliver better proportions despite the higher cost. See our bifold doors page for the full folding door range.
Every uPVC door we supply comes with multi-point hook locking as standard, TS 007 anti-snap cylinder upgrades available, and PAS 24 certification across the range. Secured by Design accreditation is available for properties wanting the highest residential security spec.
The modern uPVC door is significantly more secure than the basic uPVC doors of the 1990s. Multi-point hooks engaging at multiple points around the frame distribute the holding force, making forced entry significantly harder than the single-point latches older doors used.
Plastic door is a common informal term for basic-spec uPVC doors at the budget end of the market. Cheap plastic door options at £400 to £600 supply-only typically have single-point locking, basic hardware and limited colour choices.
Our standard uPVC door range starts at a higher spec than the plastic door budget end. Multi-point locking, TS 007 cylinder upgrades and PAS 24 certification are available across the standard uPVC range from £700 supply-only.
PVC door price points reflect the spec level. The £390 PVC door price searches in our keyword research align with the budget plastic door end of the market. Most homeowners specify standard spec rather than the cheapest option once they see the spec differences in person.
