Start with the house you have
Every property has its own character and the right front door should compliment it, while also handling British weather, retain heat and help deter intruders. We combine style, security and energy performance across all our door ranges.
We fit across an 80 km radius of Rushden, including Northampton, Bedford, Milton Keynes, Kettering, Cambridge, Peterborough, Rugby and Hemel Hempstead. UK-wide delivery covers supply-only orders.
High ceilings, panel detailing and often a touch of stained or textured glass over the door define Victorian and Edwardian properties.
You retain the period character while gaining modern insulation and PAS 24-level security.
Symmetry is the defining feature on Georgian elevations. Fanlights and refined proportions are common, with original doors usually painted in restrained colours.
A slim toplight above the door preserves the Georgian look while brightening the hall.
Bold curves, bay windows and decorative porches are typical of 1930s semi-detached homes.
Period charm with modern performance.
Cottage doors are among the most searched-for property-style door categories in the UK. Cosy facades, stone or brick walls, sometimes coastal air, and traditional proportions all shape the right choice for cottage properties.
In exposed rural areas, choose laminated glass and weather-rated seals for extra resilience. A farmhouse door shares similar characteristics with cottage doors but typically with heavier-duty hardware and more substantial panel detailing. Farmhouse front doors are popular for converted barns, rural family homes and properties desiring the practical robustness of a traditional rural entrance.
Modern front doors are the fastest-growing category in the UK door market, with demand driven by new build developments as well as renovation projects on older properties. Modern interior doors also pair naturally with contemporary front entrances for properties aiming for a coordinated look throughout.
Modern doors emphasise slim sightlines, minimal panel detail and contemporary finishes. The look is deliberately understated, with the door integrating seamlessly into the overall architecture of the front elevation rather than standing out as a focal feature.
Practical layouts and easy access are usually the priority on bungalow installations.

A door viewer or smart access pad adds daily convenience.
Neat frontages, varied depths and compact porches define most UK terrace streets.

For budget-conscious terrace projects, uPVC and entry-level composite still look stylish when
combined with the right hardware.
In some streets, it’s important to respect the original character of the property. Designs need to stay close to the original appearance of the door in panel layout, colour and glazing style.
You may need Listed Building Consent or specific planning approval for bigger changes. We can advise on compliant styles, glass patterns and colours during the survey.
Choosing the right door isn’t just about appearance. Every door also needs to deliver in three key areas, regardless of the property type.
Choose the right front door for your house type by matching panel style, colour, glass and hardware to the period and character of the property. Victorian and Edwardian homes suit heritage panel composites with brass furniture. Georgian homes suit symmetrical designs with subtle colours. Modern front doors suit hybrid or smooth composite designs in contemporary shades.
The best cottage doors are cottage-style composite or solid oak doors with stable door options for back entrances. Textured privacy glass like Cotswold or Stippolyte and traditional furniture finishes in antique brass or matt-black create an authentic look. Heritage colours like sage green, cream and oak finishes work best on cottage properties.
The best modern front door is usually a hybrid door or smooth contemporary composite in anthracite grey, matt black or graphite. Clean lines, slim sightlines, matt black hardware and pull bars all work particularly well on contemporary elevations. Triple glazing and RC3 security cylinders complete the modern spec.
Victorian and Edwardian houses suit composite doors with period-inspired panels, etched or textured glass and heritage colours like Oxford Blue, Racing Green or Black. Solid brass furniture and laminated security glass preserve the traditional look while improving thermal performance and security.
A Georgian home suits a timber-look composite door with symmetrical proportions and crisp panel detailing. Subtle colours like Slate, Cream or Heritage Green work well, paired with polished brass or satin chrome furniture. A slim toplight above the door preserves the Georgian style.
A 1930s semi-detached house suits a composite front door with an arched glass panel or slim sidelights. Popular colours include Deep Red, Deep Blue and Anthracite Grey. This style preserves the period character while adding modern multi-point locking and better thermal efficiency.
The best farmhouse front door is a solid oak door or oak-veneered engineered timber door with traditional panel detailing. Stable door configurations work well for back entrances. Matt-black or antique brass hardware, heritage colours like sage green or cream, and laminated security glass in exposed rural locations all suit farmhouse properties.
Yes, a modern composite or hybrid door can work on a period property if the panel style, colour, glass and hardware are chosen carefully. This gives you the original character of the property combined with modern thermal performance, PAS 24 security and easier maintenance.
