The Best Composite Front Door Design

Choosing the perfect composite front door for your home is an important decision. With so many options available, it’s essential to know what to look for when selecting the design of your ideal composite front door. In this blog, we’ll cover the best front door designs for your home and why you should choose Hurst.

 

Factors to Consider When Buying a New Composite Front Door

When purchasing a new composite front door, several factors will influence your decision. Here are the most important ones:

• Security – A high-quality composite front door should be safe and secure. Our composite doors come equipped with multi-point locking systems (such as Kubu Smart Locks), high-quality glazing and are made from rigid polymer subframes and a high impact GRP skin, making them exceptionally durable.
• Energy Efficiency – Your composite door should be energy efficient to help keep your home warm. Our composite doors are known for their excellent insulation and thermal efficiency, which can help you save money on energy costs.
• Style – Your front door is one of the first things visitors will notice about your home. It’s important to choose a design that complements your property’s style, whether it’s traditional or modern.
• Colour and Finish – The colour and finish of your composite door can significantly impact the overall look of your property. Choose from our wide range of RAL composite door colours to match your home’s exterior.
• Glazing and Hardware Options – Composite door glazing and door hardware such as handles, knockers, and letterplates add the finishing touches to your composite door. Choosing the right elements to complement your door design and colour will increase the overall aesthetic of the door.

Victorian Style Front Doors

Capturing the grandeur of the Victorian period, Victorian-style composite front doors are perfect for period properties and homes that feature traditional architecture. These doors often include decorative glazing and multiple raised panels. A Victorian style composite front door can preserve the character of your home while benefiting from modern security and insulation. At Hurst Doors we offer a range of Victorian-style doors, for example our Composite Six Solid door, with its six-panel design, epitomises the classic Victorian look.

 

1930s Style Front Doors

If you’re restoring a historic home or aiming to preserve its original character, a 1930s front door is the perfect choice. These doors feature classic front door designs with raised panels and decorative glazed areas. They tend to have glazing in the top panel, door furniture in the upper portion of the door, and rectangular panels of equal size in the lower portion. A 1930s composite front door blends classic style with the durability of a Hurst composite door.
