Open a new door

Most of us pass through several times a day without
thinking about how important they are for our warmth
and security, but West Norfolk Glass’ Geoff Parker
asks whether it’s time to think about replacing your
front door?

‘Knock, knock.’ No it’s not a joke, but just think how often you answer
your front door to the postman, to pay the window cleaner, to friends
and family, probably on a daily basis?
But when was the last time you took a good look at your front door?
It’s one of the most important elements in the exterior appearance of
your home, and yet we’re often guilty of glazing over (no pun
intended!) the impact it makes.
The options available to homeowners are vast these days, really
bound only by our imagination, and as we’ve been fitting doors and
windows for 50 years, since our dad founded West Norfolk Glass in
1967, we’ve seen a massive increase in the spectrum of choices.
Hugely popular, PVCu doors are still a cost-effective choice, and
there are so many options with colour and glazing which allow you to
personalise your entryway.
Offering premium levels of security and warmth, composite doors
offer an infinite choice of styles and colours which make them an ideal
solution for period properties or when you want to create a unique
design. Hardware can make an enormous difference to the overall look
too – whether you prefer a traditional or contemporary style, a
composite door can make a real statement to your property’s exterior.
Of course, while front doors get most attention, rear, patio and
French doors make an enormous difference to your living space.
Traditional styles, again with classic hardware, can update the outlook
and access to outdoor space while maintaining a property’s style.
Alternatively, contemporary bi-fold doors offer the ultimate
flexibility to blend indoor and outdoor space – allowing maximum
light to flood in (particularly welcome during the winter months!)
while your home stays warm inside, during the summer they can be
fully opened to enjoy patio areas and the garden beyond. With anti-
finger trap seals and high security locks, these can be easily operated
in a virtually effortless motion and can be used to glaze an entire wall
in your home as a real showstopper.
Now that your imagination is fired up with some ideas to transform
your entranceways, why not talk to our team about how we can help
you to improve your home?
