All the surveys and measurements are taken by myself and every door is handmade, to order, by me, a skilled craftsman. I use high quality, durable, solid Accoya wood or European Oak so your new doors will open effortlessly all year round and last you an entire lifetime.

Given the way the annual aggregate limits are structured, it may be prudent to spread your improvements over a few years. Making these upgrades together in one year would allow you a tax credit of up to $1,200 for the insulation and up to $2,000 for the heat pump. Similarly, you could combine a heat pump installation with window/door replacements.
Timber doors are also susceptible to the changing weather conditions, so you might find a timber door sticking in the frame at certain times of the year. Our doors meet some of the toughest security tests in the industry, and have achieved ‘approved’ status from the police, BSI and locksmiths. Doors can also be fitted with high security cylinders, which come with a minimum £1000 security guarantee. Our uPVC doors also offer a great balance of quality, style and durability, which we feel goes unmatched. External doors and windows may need to have fire resistance and be self-closing or be fixed shut to limit the risk of fire spread between adjacent properties.
Start from double doors so that any tiny droplets of paint that run down don’t ruin any painting work you’ve already finished. After leaving the door to rest for the recommended time on the package of the paint stripper, clean your flat-bladed scraper and cautiously scrape away layers of the original coat. Once the old paint has been removed fairly and equally across the door, neutralise the stripper by watering the door or using white spirit . That’s because it enhances your home’s aesthetics and provides privacy and security. The structure will include instructions on how many bolts or screws are needed for each installation step, along with drilling holes into wood studs if necessary. It offers protection against heat and cold while maintaining its beauty and making it easy to clean.
These doors offer superior heat dissipation and protection against cold weather through their thermally broken aluminum composite material design. Once you have measured the beginning, it will be time to find out how much space is available for your new door. The amount of space will determine what type of external door you should get. With regards security, the main entrance should have a dead-locking night latch, so that if some one breaks the glass they cannot operate the latch without a key, and an insurance-rated mortice lock. These should be fitted as far apart as is practical to spread the locking points, and if it’s an outward opening door, there should be hinge bolts as well. I went to a customer once who had been broken into; they had an outward opening front door fitted with 3 locks, but the intruder had simply removed the hinge pins and the door had literally fallen out!
Remove existing locks and hinges on the current door and note any gaps between them. It will help you determine where you want your new external door to go before construction starts. You can choose from the exterior, patio, French, or bi-fold doors. This feature may be particularly important for your home if you live in a colder climate.

As noted, exterior doors are always solid—not exactly carved from a solid tree trunk but at least more solid than interior doors. Additionally, exterior doors are always solid , which makes them better for soundproofing than hollow-core interior doors. UPVC Designs come in an array of colours and finishes, with off-the-shelf models in standard dimensions. ‘Fitting is relatively simple as the doors are lightweight and small,’ says Leanne Chandler, director of CMS Garage & Entrance Doors.
