Size and configuration
The size of your door opening can significantly impact the overall cost. Standard-sized doors are typically more affordable, while oversized or custom-sized doors will increase the price. Additionally, configurations such as sidelights, toplights or side panels will add to the cost but can dramatically enhance your entryway’s appearance and functionality.
Glazing options
Glass panels can add both style and natural light to your entryway, but they also affect the price of your composite door. Factors to consider include:
- Amount of glazing: Fully glazed doors are typically more expensive than partially glazed or solid options.
- Type of glass: Double or triple glazing, obscure glass, or decorative designs will increase the cost.
- Energy efficiency: Higher-rated energy-efficient glass will come at a premium but can lead to long-term savings on energy bills.
Colour and finish
While many composite doors come in standard internal and external door colours, opting for a bespoke colour or finish can increase the price. Popular choices like black, white, or woodgrain effects are often included in the base price, but unique shades like Chartwell Green or custom colour matches may come at an additional cost.
Hardware options and accessories
The hardware you choose for your composite door can significantly impact both its appearance and price. Consider:
- Door furniture: Handles, letterboxes, and knockers in various styles and finishes
- Locking systems: Advanced multi-point locking mechanisms for enhanced security
- Smart home integration: Digital locks or smart doorbells can add convenience but also cost
