When it comes to selecting a front door for your home, it’s crucial to consider the various materials available. Each material has its own unique characteristics and benefits, so understanding the differences is essential. In this article, we will explore the three most popular front door materials: aluminium, uPVC, and composite. 

At Premier Windows, we understand how important front doors are for homeowners. 

These three door styles are some of the most popular doors on the market, but one question you might be wondering is: which door is right for you?” With different materials and designs, working out which is right for your home is subjective. 

This article will look at these three doors, helping you make an informed decision. Read on to find out more. 

Aluminium Front Doors

Aluminium front doors are renowned for their sleek and contemporary appearance, which can enhance the overall aesthetic of your home. They offer a lightweight and durable option, resistant to warping, cracking, and rotting. Aluminium is also highly resistant to corrosion, making it suitable for the unpredictable British weather. 

Our aluminium front doors have an elegant design that gives your home the wow factor. Once the door is installed, it could help create a striking visual aesthetic for your property. 

Additionally, aluminium front doors provide excellent insulation, ensuring your home stays warm in winter and cool in summer. They are also highly secure, featuring advanced locking systems and reinforced frames.

One of the key advantages of aluminium front doors is that they are durable and low-maintenance. They are easy to clean and do not require regular painting or staining. Aluminium is also a sustainable and environmentally friendly material, as it can be recycled at the end of its lifespan. 

At Premier Windows, our aluminium front doors are available in a wide range of styles and colours with a powder-coated and durable finish. We know that every homeowner has a unique personality, and the same is true of our aluminium front doors. Whether your property is modern or period, we have a front door that could be right for you.

uPVC  Front Doors

uPVC front doors are a popular choice among homeowners due to their affordability and versatility. uPVC, or unplasticised polyvinyl chloride, is a durable and low-maintenance material that is resistant to fading, rotting, and warping. Available in a wide range of styles, colours, and finishes, they allow you to find the perfect door to match your home’s aesthetic. 

uPVC front doors offer excellent thermal insulation, helping to reduce energy loss and lower your heating and cooling costs. uPVC front doors are also highly secure, featuring multi-point locking systems and reinforced frames.

One of the main advantages of uPVC front doors is their affordability. They are generally more cost-effective than aluminium or composite doors, making them a popular choice for budget-conscious homeowners. At Premier Windows, we offer a range of uPVC front doors that blends affordability with style and long lasting quality. 

What’s more, the doors are designed to provide you with high levels of security. They are installed with multi-point locking systems and hinges, so you can sleep easy at night while staying protected against forced break-ins. What helps our uPVC front doors stand out is that you can upgrade them further with toughened glass or glazing options. 

Our expert team can guide you through the selection process and ensure that you find a uPVC front door that meets your needs and budget.

Composite Front Doors

Composite front doors are a premium option that combines the finest features of different materials. They are made from a combination of materials, including uPVC, wood, and glass reinforced plastic (GRP). This unique construction is ideal because it offers outstanding levels of thermal efficiency and durability. Our composite front doors are highly resistant to weathering, fading, and warping, making them an excellent long-term investment for your home. 

They offer excellent thermal efficiency, helping to keep your home comfortable and energy-efficient. Our range of composite doors is also available in a wide range of styles, colours, and finishes. This  lets you create a visual appeal for your home that can increase its market value.
