If you’re ready to replace your door, then it’s expected you’ll have some questions. We’ve answered some of our most common door questions below to help you decide on the perfect door for your home. Whether you want a replacement front door or to enhance your home with one of our feature glass doors, our team are happy to help and offer advice.
You can leave all the measuring up to us as a survey will be conducted in advance of your new front door being installed to ensure it fits seamlessly.
However, if you can supply some door measurements at your first consultation with the team here at TWC, they will be gratefully received and help us vision what’s required.
Any measurements you record will only be useful if your current door still fits well and hasn’t warped.
To get the width, measure in three separate points at the top, middle and bottom of the door, whilst doing so at the left, centre, and right for the door’s length. Use your tape measure to record the two diagonals too. Accompany the measurements with a few photographs of the door as it will alert us to any side panels or add-ons it has.
UPVC and composite doors are separated by their looks and features.
Front-on and side-on views of UPVC doors and composite doors underline just how different they are from one another.
Composite doors have a thicker frame due to the wealth of materials used in their construction, all carefully compressed together – foam, wood, UPVC, and GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic). Plastic is the sole material used to build a UPVC door design, giving it a depth of roughly 28mm, while a composite door is around 44mm thick.
How composite doors are processed makes them the more expensive of the two solutions, but don’t be put off paying a higher price if you covet outstanding energy efficiency, strength, and stylishness. Similarly, don’t mistake the inexpensiveness of UPVC doors for inferior quality – they offer quite the opposite of that.
A lot of door companies will tell you that 10 years is the probable lifespan of a front door as that’s how long their guarantee is.
Being the trailblazers that we are, TWC outdoes the standard front door guarantee by 10 years, supplying 20 years of cover with every replacement door purchase.
Look forward to two decades of steadfast protection, a lasting finish, and floods of compliments on the exquisiteness of the door and how it sets a remarkable first impression.
In the tests that our doors must endure, they have exhibited the fortitude to survive for 20 years at least. Therefore, you could be living with a TWC door for a longer period than that, especially if you follow the simple maintenance tips given out when you buy it.
Don’t stop at just replacing your door – update the old frame too.
From time to time, a customer will ask our team if we can proceed with a door replacement without also replacing the existing frame. A physical inspection of the frame must be undertaken for us to determine this.
The slightest indication of any irreparable warping or corrosion would lead us to strongly recommend that a new frame is installed in conjunction with the integration of a new door.
You also want the new door and door frame to supplement each other – any clash in appearance will do your entrance no favours. Bought and installed together at the same time assures you of a perfect door symmetry.
If we were to predict a cost without speaking to you, there’s every possibility it will prove inaccurate once we do the information gathering with you at an appointment, which we don’t like being.
That’s due to the various cost-related factors involved in pricing up a new entryway, including its size, style, and the material used to construct the design.
What we can confirm ahead of a design appointment is that UPVC doors are our most affordable replacement front doors, but that doesn’t mean they’re cheaply made, not at all! Their build quality is the same class as aluminium and composite doors, it just happens to be that UPVC is a lower-priced material. Don’t be discouraged by the extra expense of composite and aluminium doors either as they come with a catalogue of outstanding benefits, toughness being amongst the strongest of them.
How to uncover the perfect form of door for your house type
Your front door has a pivotal role in not just securing your home and keeping it thermally regulated, but also setting much of its overall tone.
A UPVC door is exceptionally well-priced for what you get, which is an immensely durable and hard-wearing solution that can resist all that the British weather has to throw at it. Widely thought of as being most suited to modern homes and new builds, UPVC doors will suit almost any house type, except for certain period residences.
Composite doors are the mid-range cost option and a fantastic all-round performer, constructed using multiple tough materials. Produced in a myriad of engaging designs, a composite door will beautifully harmonise with traditional and modern properties, explaining their widespread popularity.
The powder-coated finish on an aluminium door distinguishes it from the alternate door options, as does its sleeker composition. A premium choice, an aluminium door’s slim profile allows for larger areas of glazing, and it works very agreeably with contemporary abodes.
