Glazed External Doors

Why choose glazed external doors?

External glazed hardwood doors combine the timeless appeal of wood with the contemporary touch of glass. Glazed external doors not only improves the look of your home but also offer durability and strength. The rich textures of hardwood paired with the practical benefits of glass create a harmonious blend that suits both traditional and modern homes.

A well-crafted glazed exterior door provides excellent insulation. The combination of wood and glass helps in maintaining your home’s temperature, keeping it cool in the summer and warm in the winter. This energy efficiency can lead to reduced energy bills, making these doors a smart investment.

Which type of external glazed doors are best?

The best type of external glazed doors depends on your specific needs and preferences. For those wanting durability and a more classic look, partially glazed external doors are an excellent choice. 

They combine the strength of wood with the elegance of glass, offering both security and good looks. Hardwood options like engineered oak or mahogany are particularly popular in external doors for their rich texture, naturally hardwearing and energy efficient properties.

For modern homes, fully glazed external doors provide a sleek, contemporary alternative while really maximising natural light. These doors feature large double glazed glass panels with minimal wood or metal frames, creating an open and airy feel. They are perfect for improving the connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. 

Whichever style you choose, ensure the glass is toughened or laminated for added security and durability.

Diverse Design Options

Looking for a way to make a grand entrance? Front doors with glass panels offer a stunning visual appeal while allowing natural light to filter throughout your home. Whether you prefer a small glass panel or a larger one, these doors can be customised to fit your style.

For those who want a balance between privacy and light, a half glazed external door is an ideal choice. These doors feature a glass panel in the upper half, providing visibility and brightness, while maintaining privacy in the lower half of the door.

If maximum light is what you're after, a fully glazed door is perfect. These doors are predominantly glass, framed beautifully with wood or metal (usually aluminium), allowing for an unobstructed flow of light. They are perfect for creating an airy, open feel in your home.

The Benefits of Exterior Glass Doors

• Enhanced Kerb Appeal: Exterior doors with glass make a strong first impression. They add a touch of sophistication to your home’s entrance, especially if you choose a fancy glazing - boosting kerb appeal and potentially increasing property value.
• Natural Light: One of the standout features of external glass doors is their ability to brighten up your interior spaces. Natural light not only improves the aesthetics but also creates a healthier and more pleasant living environment.
• Versatility in Design: From contemporary fully glazed exterior doors to more traditional partially glazed styles, glazed front doors come in a wide variety of designs. You can choose from different glass patterns, finishes, and material types to find the perfect match for your home.

Practical Considerations

While some might worry about security with glazed doors, modern designs include toughened or laminated glass, which is up to five times more resistant to breaking than regular glass. Glazed doors, particularly those made from aluminium or uPVC can be equipped with robust 5 point locking mechanisms to ensure your home remains as safe and secure as possible.

Options like frosted or etched glass allow you to enjoy the benefits of a glazed front door while still maintaining privacy. These designs let light in without compromising your private space.

Easy Maintenance and Longevity

• Durable Construction: All glazed uPVC doors, aluminium doors and glazed external hardwood doors that we stock are built to last. The combination of a sturdy frame and strong, toughened glass means these doors can withstand the elements and daily wear and tear.
• Low Maintenance: Keeping your new external door looking its best is easy. Regular cleaning with mild detergent and water will keep the glass sparkling and the frames looking fresh. Periodic painting or resealing of wooden frames will ensure it remains protected from exteme weather conditions and help prevent heat loss.
