Why It Matters to Keep Your Home Insulated

If you don’t give insulation a second thought for most of the year, once January comes around, many of us start to feel the chill – especially if our homes aren’t properly insulated. A new front door can dramatically reduce the amount of energy lost, especially if it’s been made-to-measure. At London Door Company, we take insulation seriously, which is why our expert surveyors take precise measurements of every doorway before a single pencil mark is made. Better insulation will improve your energy rating and save you money by keeping the heat in and the thermostat down.

Accoya® – Durable, Beautiful and Free From Plastic

While we all want to do the right thing when it comes to plastic usage, for many years now, we’ve been proponents of the solid timber door rather than PVC. We choose a sustainable, durable hardwood called Accoya® for many of our front doors because it’s reliable, hardwearing and retains its elegant good looks for years. In fact, it’s so long-lasting it’s favoured by architects selecting timber for outdoor use.

Amazing Glazing

We offer a range of glass design options from traditional stained glass to modern concepts. Our bespoke glazing can add colour, personality and authenticity to your new front door – and it can also provide a range of practical benefits too. Our toughened, strengthened glass offers additional security and safety. Opaque and frosted options allow natural light in and keep prying eyes out and, because we specialise in city homes, we understand the importance of extra warmth and noise reduction. If you have glazing that’s original to your home, we can recreate it exactly to ensure your property benefits from a seamless and coherent style, respecting the architectural history of your home.
