Choosing a type of material

There are several different options available for someone looking out for a new door. The main choices people opt for are UPVC, timber and aluminium. Timber is a strong material, but there is always a risk of warping and doors require ongoing treatment throughout their lives. uPVC doors are affordable, but weaker than both timber and aluminium options and don’t tend to last as long.

Slim sightlines can result in a modern, sleek, door design, whereas options wider options provide a more traditional option. Sightline options often depend on the type of door you choose, and can differ for sliding doors, bi-fold doors and French doors. Sliding doors often have the slimmest sightline options available.
