BEAUTIFULLY BESPOKE
Owners of period homes may find it more difficult to purchase an off-the-peg door due to non-standard openings and original glazing – leaving bespoke doors the only viable option. ‘Considerations such as size, colour, glass and ironmongery all influence the price. Individual touches, such as stained glass, will also add a premium to your new door, but it is one of the ways you can create a unique entrance that will boost the kerb appeal of your home,’ explains Charles Fox, sales director at Timber Windows. Prices for its bespoke doors are available on application.
Visible to everyone, a front door makes an important first impression, setting expectations for the interior beyond. It also provides a valuable barrier between your home and the outside world. ‘Getting the right front door for a house, which sits perfectly in the doorway, can transform the entire look of the property and be equally rewarding every time you use it,’ explains Chris Harrison commercial director at Jack Badger.
