Read on to learn more about the different door styles we offer at Homeshield Scotland.
UPVC Doors
UPVC doors are one of the most popular door choices in Scotland and it is not surprising why. It stands for unplasticised polyvinyl chloride, a low-maintenance building material used as a substitute for painted wood. There are many benefits to uPVC and there is no doubt why it is so popular.
Along with being low maintenance, uPVC doors are also a budget-friendly option for those who don’t want to spend a fortune on a new door. It is typically the cheapest door you can get. But that doesn’t mean anything in terms of its quality.
Despite being low-budget, uPVC doors are extremely durable. They are a good, strong door option to protect your home. UPVC doors have a lifespan of 20-25 years also making them a long-lasting option for homeowners They are also perfect for Scottish homes as they are resistant to harsh weather conditions so they shouldn’t experience any warping, rotting or rusting.
While uPVC is traditionally white,
Composite Doors
Composite doors are one of the best options for doors, especially front doors, on the market. They are made with a variety of materials constructed together to make a solid door. The mix of materials makes composite doors far stronger than the likes of uPVC which in turn makes them more expensive.
While composite doors are typically more expensive due to their production process, however, the tradeoffs are worth it. Composite doors offer more security and durability, protecting your home from any unwanted guests.
They are also low maintenance doors so you don’t need to worry about any upkeep.
The cost of composite doors is worth it when it comes to customisation. Composite doors have far more customisation options, you can create a unique door that stands out from your neighbours.
These doors also have a long lifespan of up to 30 years, making their cost worth it.
French and Patio Doors
French and patio doors are a great way to invite the outside in. These doors are specifically made to connect your living spaces with the outside such are a garden, patio or balcony. They allow easy access in the summer and a better view of the outdoors in the winter. What are the differences between the two?
French doors typically open inwards and outwards so you will need space on one side of the door. They are suited for older-style properties, but can also work in modern ones too. Patio doors on the other hand slide open so are a better option for those looking to save space. They are typically suited to modern properties due to their modern design. Both are popular additions to homes. These are also typically uPVC but can come in a range of colours and finishes to match your home.
Bi-Fold Doors
Bi-fold doors are like glass walls and typically cover the majority of a wall. They allow an impressive view of the outside and completely open up a space. As they are pulled open, the sections fold back on themselves to allow for space saving.
They are like French and patio doors as they connect your living spaces with the outside. While they are typically associated with modern homes, they are becoming more popular in traditional homes also looking just as good.
