FAQs About Contemporary Entrance Doors
Find answers to common questions about our contemporary front doors below.
What materials are best for contemporary front doors?
This depends on what you value most —aesthetics, budget, durability, or how much upkeep you’re willing to do.
Here are some pros and cons of our modern front door materials:
Timber: Offers natural warmth and character. While timber can be customised with paint or stain, it requires regular maintenance to prevent warping or rot.
Aluminium: Although aluminium is weather-resistant, it’s generally pricier and requires high-quality insulation to prevent heat loss.
Composite: Though not as naturally textured as real wood, this modern blend of materials is built for strength, insulation and easy upkeep.
Are contemporary front doors more energy efficient than traditional ones?
Yes, but this depends on the materials, construction, glazing, and the quality of installation.
Here’s how they compare:
Built to insulate: Foam-filled or composite cores lock in heat and reduce energy loss.
Tight seals: Modern designs feature advanced draught-proofing to keep the cold out.
Effective glazing: Double or triple-glazing comes standard, boosting thermal performance.
Meets the mark: Most contemporary doors hit or beat UK U-value standards.
How do I maintain my contemporary-style front doors?
Taking care of your front door isn’t just about the material. It also involves the glazing and hardware. With a bit of regular upkeep, you can keep your door durable, working smoothly in top form for years to come.
Wood / Wood-Veneered: Check the finish annually. If needed, reseal or repaint, cleaning gently with soapy water. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
Aluminium: Wipe with warm soapy water, touch up any scratches, and occasionally oil hinges and locks.
Composite / uPVC: Clean with mild soap and water, avoiding abrasives. Check for worn weather seals and replace them.
Glass & Hardware: Clean glass with a standard cleaner and soft cloth. Ensure screws are kept tightened and lubricate locks and hinges when needed.
