External door sets play a crucial role in defining the character and style of a property's entrance. They serve as the first point of contact for visitors, making them an essential aspect of the overall design of a building.
The use of aluminium and timber in external door sets offers the option of contemporary and traditional styles, providing homeowners with a wide range of design options to choose from. So whether you are living in a barn conversion or a country cottage, we have a new external door set to match any property.
Timber adds warmth and natural beauty to door sets. It can be treated in a variety of ways including staining, painting or varnishing to achieve a range of finishes. This allows homeowners to choose a finish that complements their property.
Aluminium is a popular choice for external door sets due to its many beneficial properties, including its strength, durability, and low maintenance requirements. Aluminium is a lightweight yet robust material that is resistant to weathering and corrosion, making it ideal for use in external doors. It is also highly customizable, allowing for a range of finishes and designs to suit different architectural styles and personal preferences.
Furthermore, aluminium offers excellent insulation properties, helping to improve energy efficiency and reduce heating costs. Our external aluminium door sets are available in the popular Heritage / Industrial style - which can be seen in all major lifestyle magazines.
Our heritage style doors offer enhanced security, with multi-point locking and face mounted shoot bolts. Whilst these door sets are double glazed, glass panels are supplied loose due to weight and should be installed on-site.
Choosing a doorset speeds up the installation process, helping you to save time and money on your renovation or build. If you're looking for a new door, choosing a pre finished door set will help you create a great first impression.
Why wait? Create the perfect entrance with a beautiful door set that reflects your style and unique design.
Frequently Asked Questions
A prehung front door is a complete unit that includes the door slab, frame, and hinges, making it ready for installation in an entryway. It streamlines the process by ensuring all components fit perfectly, as opposed to a slab door which is only the door itself without any additional hardware.
Exterior doors are commonly available as pre-hung units, which include the door frame, hinges, and door slab, ideal for new construction or full-frame replacement. When your house has an intact doorframe, opt for a slab door instead, unless you plan a complete frame renovation.
Pre-hung doors offer significant advantages: they're already weatherproofed, saving you the effort of weather stripping, and they come with a pre-fitted frame, ensuring a perfect fit and proper operation without the hassle of alignment. This installation convenience is a major benefit for both DIYers and professional builders.
Yes, you can purchase an external door separately, known as a slab door, which is the door alone without the frame. Slab doors offer flexibility if you only need to replace the door itself and not the frame, allowing for a customised installation.
It's not necessary to replace the door frame when installing a new external door, provided the existing frame is in good condition and not warped or damaged. Assess the frame for signs of rot, cracks, or alignment issues that may affect the new door's function and energy efficiency.
