In life, only change is constant. So while making changes to your home you should ensure it’s one that’ll enhance and benefit your home in the long term. And more often than not, this means having to think outside the box from time to time.

When it comes to home improvement, there are a plethora of changes that can be made to enhance your home. But if you’re not sure or confused as to where to begin, why not start with what your visitors will first see when they come visiting - the door? Not only will the installation of new double glazed doors help to maximize your home’s selling power, but can also go a long way to increase the value of your property if you’d like to sell it in the future.

One of the most crucial components of the home that you can improve is UPVC doors and windows. This is due to the fact that replacing these components happen to be a great way of making your home more energy efficient, while also improving its visual appeal as well as several other benefits. So if you’re considering getting UPVC doors fitted in your home, you might want to know the cost involved. However, there’s no single and precise answer to this question as UPVC door prices vary depending on your chosen company. Therefore, it’s always a wise decision to obtain different quotes before making a decision. And fortunately for those who are having financial challenges, it’s very possible to obtain funding that’ll help cover your installation costs.

Generally, on the average, the cost of a good standard UPVC door including installation will cost within the range of £500 to £800.

A French door simply means a door style which features two sections that pivots on hinges installed on the door framing’s opposite sides, which opens and closes at the centre. Glass panels are used to make each door’s section covering the middle of the door ( either individual panels that are muntins framed or a single panel of glass). When open, the whole doorway is an open space with no post at the middle. French doors are popular for a number of reasons. Not only do they bring a particular level of charm, class and elegance to your home, but also allow natural light into a room and create a wide opening unlike a sliding patio door. They’re mostly installed at the rear of a home so as to allow for a direct walkway exiting the house and straight into the garden, thereby making your garden even a lot more closer to your home.

There are 3 main types of patio doors which includes the following:

• External or French patio doors

As the name suggests, they’re the French door that leads outside mostly into the garden. Generally when opened, the two door swings outwards, but there are some that can open inwards. They mostly possess a number of large glass panels which enable natural light to brighten up your home.

• Interior

This basically means fitting double French doors between two rooms in a house. This is very similar to the external ones with two doors and also made up of glass panels.

• Sliding

They are very similar to both the external and interior designs but rather than the two doors swinging open, they slide apart to create a great amount of space to walk into the garden. This is the classic charm that sliding French doors provide.

It is possible to replace a door without replacing the frame. However, most people choose to replace both their door and frame at the same time, as this is likely to make your home security and energy efficiency better, particularly if your existing front door is very old or the frame is distorted.

The colours available will depend on the material of the door. Timber or aluminium doors can be painted to many different RAL colours. uPVC doors are generally available in fewer colours, but they can still be matched to many existing designs. A window and door company will be able to advise what optionas are available to suit your property.
