Project Overview
A Victorian terraced house in Mill Hill needed a front door that would make a statement. The existing door was a faded, generic uPVC model that lacked character and had a broken lock. The goal was to install a bold, secure, and energy-efficient composite front door in red to enhance kerb appeal and provide lasting performance.
Our Solution
We supplied and installed a premium red composite front door tailored to the property’s period charm. The solution included:
- High-density polyurethane foam core for superior insulation and strength
- Glass-reinforced plastic (GRP) outer skin resistant to fading, warping, and cracking
- Traditional panel design with decorative obscured double glazing
- External finish in pillar box red (RAL 3000) for a striking, welcoming look
- Five-point multi-locking system with anti-snap cylinders
- Stainless steel hinges and a concealed letterbox with brush draught seal
- Matching black hardware for contrast and visual appeal
- White internal finish to complement the hallway decor
Installation Process
- Conducted precise measurement of the existing door opening
- Removed old uPVC front door and frame carefully
- Disposed of all waste materials responsibly
- Inspected and prepared the structural opening, lintel, and sub-cill
- Installed new composite door frame using galvanised fixings and expanding foam
- Lifted the composite door slab into position and hung on stainless steel hinges
- Fitted the double-glazed decorative panel into the door
- Installed multi-point locking mechanism and tested all locks and keys
- Applied internal and external silicone seals for full weatherproofing
- Adjusted hinges for perfect alignment and smooth closing action
- Completed thorough clean of door, frame, glass, handles, and surrounding area
