Last time you visited a friends house you may have noticed their door. Many homes in the UK still have mass produced doors however bespoke doors are a great solution.
In this blog we will explain how bespoke doors will create comfort, security and style.
Why Standard Doors Aren’t Ideal For UK Homes
We have a variety of homes across the country. Whether it’s a Victorian terrace or a 1930s semi. Or maybe you have a glass fronted new build. All of these will have unique door frames. Using standard doors won’t be ideal and builders will cut down the door slab or fill in the gap. This won’t look nice and will cause draughts. However using a joiner will create an exact fit.
Perfect Fit For Every Frame
Using a bespoke door will create a perfect fit. The door will open easily and close with a gentle click. No water or dust will enter your hallway. After 100 years old walls will sag and door frames will warp. Using a bespoke door will create a perfect fit. As a craftsman will design the door around these issues. Keeping the character but reducing the noise.
Improved Insulation & Reduced Bills
Winters in the UK can be harsh. Using a standard door will cause draughts and increase your energy bills. Using a bespoke door from Doorlux will create a thick core. This reduces the amount of fuel used by your boiler. Leaving your floors warm and rooms quiet.
Impressive Front Door
Your front door creates an impressive first impression. Using a high gloss dark green luxury external doors slab with a brass handle will look welcoming. Using a slim black steel door frame with fluted glass will create a modern look. Choosing bespoke doors will allow you to personalise every detail. Using modern style doors or traditional designs to match your brickwork or even contrast. Neighbours will slow down to admire your front door.
Improved Security
Standard doors are weak. Using a bespoke door will provide a strong door. Using solid wood or steel with heavy hinges and multipoint locks will ensure a thief will struggle to gain access. Most will walk away. Leaving you with a peaceful night.
Internal Doors
Using bespoke doors internally will also create a great effect. Whether it’s your hallway, bedroom or study door they will create the right atmosphere. Using luxury internal doors made from oak or walnut will create a heavy door with a warm glow. If you want bespoke doors for your under stairs cupboard or tall loft room they will be available.
