Whether your heart leans towards timeless elegance or sleek modern vibes, understanding how each door functions and how it can enhance your home’s appeal is key.
As we celebrate National Home Security Month this October, it’s the ideal moment to uncover eight distinct door designs.
Come along as we explore the unique features, quality materials, and how these doors can seamlessly complement both traditional and contemporary homes with style.
A Quick Summary on 8 Door Styles
Flush – Sleek and understated, flush doors are a go-to for new builds, offering a minimalist design perfect for a modern, streamlined look.
Panel – With a variety of decorative square or rectangular panels, panel doors suit homes from any era, bringing timeless charm to both period and contemporary properties.
Glazed – Featuring glass panels, glazed doors create a seamless flow between rooms, allowing natural light to enhance your living space.
Stable – Split into top and bottom halves, stable doors offer charming rural appeal and practical ventilation, ideal for countryside homes.
French – With double-opening and large glass panels, French doors add a touch of elegance, perfectly suited to classic homes and traditional homeowners.
Fire – Essential for homes with three or more storeys, fire-resistant doors ensure both style and safety, offering peace of mind without compromising on aesthetics.
Patio – Designed with a sliding mechanism, patio doors open up your home to the outdoors, making them perfect for indoor-outdoor living spaces.
Bi-Fold – Compact and cleverly designed, bi-fold doors fold accordion-style, making them a popular choice for contemporary homes where space-saving solutions are key.
Get To Know Common Door Materials
Some door types and materials go together perfectly. Find out a little more about each material, and their benefits, here.
UPVC – UPVC is the most affordable option. It’s energy-efficient, soundproof, and requires little maintenance, making it ideal for front and back doors.
Composite – Composite doors are strong and secure, perfect for front doors. The outer layer is weather-resistant, keeping them looking new for longer.
Aluminium – Aluminium doors are light but strong, with a sleek design that’s great for large glass panels. They’re popular for bi-fold, patio, and entrance doors and can be made in different shapes.
Timber – While cheaper timber can decay, high-quality timber lasts longer and needs less upkeep. It’s versatile and adds warmth to homes.
Choosing the Right Door for Your Home
Every home has its own style, so it’s important that any new door fits in with the look of your house. Here are some of our suggestions:
Detached – Composite or timber doors can enhance the look of larger homes.
Semi-Detached – Composite doors are a great blend of security and style for these homes.
Terraced – UPVC and composite doors are low-maintenance, ideal for terraced houses.
Period – Timber doors keep the traditional charm of older homes.
New Build – Aluminium doors suit modern properties with their sleek design.
