It seems the mind set of many home owners is that classic timber doors are more secure. We hear so many people saying “The heavy wooden doors and frames must be secure as they are so big and heavy”. While timber doors can have a great secure set-up to them, our uPVC doors are also strong, tough and durable and come with top of the range locking systems.

This makes uPVC doors a very popular choice for home owners, as a modern alternative to classic timber doors. uPVC doors are available in a range of different styles, colours and finishes, so it is easy to find the perfect door to suit your home. Unlike timber doors, uPVC doors are extremely low maintenance. You do not need to regularly paint and treat your doors to keep them in tip top condition, a simple wash with warm, soapy water will keep your door looking it’s best for years to come.
