Double Glazing Reigate – new blue woodgrain uPVC front door

Replacement uPVC Coloured Woodgrain Door, Surrey

The existing front door at this property was single glazed and was draughty, cold and was not very secure.

The property was a turn of the century and the brick opening was very small. The customer wanted something similar to the original door which was painted blue.

Unfortunately, GRP fibreglass front doors are not available in such small door widths so a coloured woodgrain uPVC door was the only option.

We supplied and installed a blue woodgrain uPVC front door with chrome handles and a white uPVC outer frame.

The end of terrace Victorian property was fitted with a black GRP composite front door with fixed top light glazed with sandblasted (satin) glass. The fixtures of ponytail knocker, letterbox the number 1 and handle are all in a chrome finish.

Double Glazing Brockham – uPVC windows and door in an entrance porch

Keeping Period Property Character with A uPVC Door in Surrey.

The customer in Brockham, Surrey had an old timber entrance porch which was single glazed and unfortunately, it had started to rot. It also leaked in places. Not an ideal situation.

We supplied and fitted new white uPVC, double glazed windows, a uPVC door and roof frames with black uPVC trims to imitate the original black painted timber posts.

It can put some customers off if they have a character or period property when considering using uPVC, as they feel it will spoil the look of their property.

But there are so many uPVC window and door options we can recommend, in terms of glass, window and door furniture and finishing touches – that can look as if they are the original hardwood alternatives but without the heat loss and high maintenance!

Double Glazing Dorking – aluminium windows

Improving Security And Energy Efficiency With Aluminum Windows, Dorking.

Our customer’s existing windows were single glazed, leaded light steel frames set within white painted hardwood sub-frames. The steel windows were rusty in places, difficult to open, thermally very inefficient, and were not very secure.

We fitted blackout/white in, thermally broken powder coated aluminium window inserts within the existing timber sub-frames with leaded light effect, double glazing with a layout to match the remaining windows.

So the customer could benefit from the improved security and energy efficiency whilst still retaining the overall look of their period property.

This is an important consideration if you have an older property and wish to retain its character.
