The Importance of a Good Quality Front Door

There are many reasons why it’s important to have a good quality front door. As one of the UK’s leading front door installers, we’ve taken a closer look at these reasons, so you know why you need one for your home.

Highly-secure front doors

On the Police UK website, it says “In most burglaries, the criminals broke into the house or flat through the door, either by forcing the lock or kicking it in. So, make sure your doors are strong and secure”. Good quality front doors are stronger and more secure.

Chigwell Window Centre’s front doors are renowned for their solidity and security – our timber core composite doors are the only choice when it comes to securing your home and your family. They feature high-quality multipoint locks and a 48mm thick solid timber door slab that is even sledgehammer proof! They have also been subjected to a number of controlled security tests to replicate the most common forms of attempted burglary. So, you and your family can enjoy complete peace of mind.

Be warmer at home for less

Better quality front doors are fitted with higher quality glazing and other insulating materials, which allows them to trap more heat in the home. Not only does this mean that properties are able to stay warmer during the cold months but it also means that you can save plenty on your energy bills.

Our composite doors are equipped with uPVC edgebanding, triple weather seals and 100% recycled uPVC inserts in their frames. These allow them to achieve a minimum energy rating of B and keep properties warm for less.

Longer-lasting protection for your home

Opting for a front door that is built from better quality materials will last longer too. However, it’s also important that your front door is installed by a reputable installer like us because a poor-quality installation will also reduce its lifespan and may even allow the weather and draughts to seep into your home!

Chigwell Window Centre’s front doors come with a 10-year guarantee, but they can last for many years more than this. If you’re wondering how long do composite doors last, for example, they have an expected lifespan of at least 30 years.
