Front Door Styles

Cottage Composite Doors

There are lots of different front doors available on the market today. The most attractive and customisable of these is wooden front doors. With these, you can have a specialist craftsperson make exactly the front door you desire, no matter what that is. You also have a free choice over wood species and paint or varnish colour. Unfortunately, most people could not afford to have a wooden front door made for them in this way. Instead, many people are limited to set ranges of doors, and most often, budget restrictions limit home owners to the more unattractive uPVC doors. These plastic doors come in a range of typical styles, which are all pretty much the same. Most commonly (and cheaply), the uPVC front door is available in white, although other colours and poor imitations of wood appearances are available for a higher cost. There is little room for uPVC doors to be personalised in any way.
The introduction of the modern composite doors has given those restricted by budget more options and freedom to choose what they want. These front doors also have the advantage of being a much closer imitation of wooden front doors, as the door surface is grained to both look and feel like wood. The range of options available with composite doors is extensive. Although mostly restricted by a range of styles and options, there are so many combinations to choose from it is unlikely not to find something you like. As well as the standard range of front door styles, there are also fancier options as well as stable doors and cottage doors. Stable doors are doors which are divided in the middle, allowing you to open the top half like a stable’s door. Cottage doors are suited to cottage properties, with a traditional panelled design that mimics wooden panel doors. This vast range of choice allows you to get the best front door for your property, without spending a small fortune.
