New frontdoor

rawuk · 8 Sep 2018 at 11:58

I'm buying a new front door due to the bottom splitting as it turns out it was low threshold and I blew the bottom up with a floor mat :eek:

I've been quoted roughly £1,970 for a composite door + side windows with a standard half moon + 2 rectangle down windows. Looking around price wise that seems reasonably standard.

Link - Front of house

Link - Potential door design

More curious if I'm being a little nuts looking at getting a black door considering the amount of white I have on the front of the house. Part of me says buy white again however with the windows being reasonably old I'm not convinced they'd be the same shade so it may look a bit off? A bit of accent never did anyone wrong either right?

I can confirm I'm not getting it from B&Q but a local trader whose installed quite a few for family so comes with a solid guarantee. Was more using the example for a potential design / style.

PVC was £1,500 to jump to Composite was £1,970. I'm a little dubious if the Rockdoor / Solidoor would actually be worth adding further costs as I may move from here in 3-5years.

Rockdoor are supposed to be the best and believe they can be had for that sort of money

I'll have to check where they're getting the door from. From other threads I can see a Rockdoor can push it up to 3k so I'm a little dubious.

Looking at https://www.valuedoors.co.uk/compos...e-rockdoors/ultimate-jacobean-style-rockdoors the door alone is pushing £1,500.

We got quoted around £1500 haven’t had it done yet as was just allot of money

Was this a composite front door with dual side windows?
