What makes for the best front door?

The windows might be the eyes of the home, but a front door is just as important as it’s the last thing you’ll see when you leave your property and the first thing you see upon returning. That’s why it’s important to find what makes the best front door suitable for your home. Luckily, we at Techniglaze like to save customers all the usual hullabaloo that comes from wading through various different door and panel types, thanks to the ultimate online front door customisation tool. 

If you’re a UK homeowner that has previously struggled to find the best front door for your needs, we’re confident that we’ve found the solution. Whether you have a specific style, colour or wood effect in mind, in this blog we’ll cover everything you need to know in order to select your perfect entrance option.

Which type of composite door is best? 

Rather than picking a door type based on where it excels in one particular area, the best front door option is one that is able to perform brilliantly in all the important factors like thermal performance, aesthetic style and security.  

That’s why we at Techniglaze are proud installers of the Royale Collection and the Palladio Collection of composite doors; they represent truly premium products suitable for almost every style of home and are constructed unlike any other. 

Composite doors are named as such due to how they’re made up of multiple different materials, rather than just one as you’d find with uPVC doors, timber doors, or aluminium doors. The Palladio composite doors take this up a notch once again, being the best front door for your home due to its unique core. Whereas other composite entrance doors are foam-filled or have a solid timber core, those from the Palladio collection are engineered using a thick GRP matrix – this ensures the very best energy performance, durability, thermal efficiency, insulation, and security all wrapped up into one. Why settle for less?

Design the best composite door for you with our online designer 

As if excelling in all these areas wasn’t enough, we also want to guarantee customers the best front door that boasts an attractive style. That’s why we’ve invested in the very best tech to create our online Palladio composite door designer. Here you’ll find a range of door styles, colour options, and glazing specifications that offer much more flexibility than if you were to purchase a door from other composite door manufacturers. 

Side panel type, external and internal frame colours, door style, glazing amount and shape, backing glass, door furniture and hinge position… all these different customisation options exist within the Palladio composite door designer that is readily usable online. You can tweak it to your heart’s content, and there’s even an option to preview what your dream new door would look like when installed in your property. Upload a relevant image and you’ll be able to see the near-finished result in our home visualiser.

Enjoy the Palladio difference in a way that’s customisable 

You will find the ability to customise a composite door to the same extent in very few other places. Better still, however, if you choose to design your Palladio composite door, the panel’s strength and energy-efficient performance are never compromised. Here are just some of the key reasons why our Palladio doors are among the very best composite doors currently available in the UK: 

All these various features come together to make the Palladio composite door one of the best-performing external doors on the market, in effect making it the best front door for UK homeowners. Couple this with the inherent customisation available which means you never have to compromise on any design wishes, and it’s hard to think of a more suitable package for your needs. 

The best front door is one of your own design from Techniglaze 

If you’re sure that your home is in need of a new front door, don’t settle for less than a composite panel from the Palladio door collection. It’s always our first recommendation due to how well it performs in almost every area of importance.

We are delighted with the windows, and have already been complimented by our neighbours on the upgrade.

Tyler and Paul were very professional and showed good initiative for the inevitable adjustments that needed to be made. They were particularly considerate of our house, it’s character and our pets! Please pass on our thanks and comments as appropriate.

Mary

We are delighted with the windows. As you know we were concerned that they would look different and more “clunky” but really you can’t tell the difference except that the new ones are not falling apart!!! The guys who did the fitting were also good. They were working in freezing fog, really cold but they carried on regardless, they were extremely tidy and cleared up after themselves.

Roy Robinson

I am delighted with the recent installation, it’s good to look out of clear windows. The work was carried out professionally by two excellent gentleman.
I will not hesitate to contact you when I am ready to replace others, also would certainly recommend you to others.

Excellent customer service, range of products and attention to detail. I honestly can’t rate them highly enough. They stepped in and came to the rescue after Salisbury glass cost us 8 months of time and 100k in increased material costs.

These guys have been great to us. Helped us out at short notice after we were badly let down by another supplier. We asked for several minor details that were not standard (e.g. different locking mechanisms), and they were flexible and open to ideas. We ended up also commissioning our front door from them; it is super sturdy and beautiful. Always courteous, professional, and good payment terms.

First class service for my window repair, with tricky access issues and a large, heavy glazed unit to install. Really glad I chose this company.

I was looking for a company that could deliver a bespoke pair of roof lights in the Alitherm system. Techniglaze offered the best price and worked with us to ensure the sizes were exactly right and conducted the sales process very professionally. The product is first class and we are exceptionally pleased with the service and product. I can highly recommend Techniglaze.
