Contemporary Front Door Ideas & Key Considerations

Whether you’re self building or renovating, the front door will be crucial to the finished look of your home. A good front door can give a wow-factor first impression, creating the opportunity to imprint your personality on the project.

Style-wise, you might choose to match the rest of the property’s glazing – or you may prefer to pick a statement-making design. UK homeowners have a huge range of materials, finishes and textures to choose from when it comes to front doors. To achieve the best possible results, be sure to include the entrance design as part of your initial architect consultation – including how big you want it to be, your access needs, style preferences and whether you’re keen to incorporate extra glazing.

Performance-wise, it’s all about the core of your door. Thermally-broken aluminium and composite timber-aluminium versions are fantastic choices. They’re strong, durable, offer exceptional weather protection and are highly insulated. What’s more, they can be finished in a selection of bespoke designs that will add luxury and flair to your home.
