What Is an Entrance Door and Why Does It Matter?
An entrance door is more than just a way to enter and exit your home. It protects from the weather, improves security, and makes a strong first impression. The right front door should keep your home warm in winter and cool in summer, block outside noise, and last for decades without needing constant repairs.
At WindowsFactory, we make uPVC entrance doors with double glazing. This means they are strong, well-insulated, and low maintenance. Our doors are designed to suit any home, whether modern or traditional.
Types of Entrance Doors – Choose the Best for Your Home
Our entrance doors come in different designs. Each type serves a specific purpose:
- Single-leaf entrance doors – A simple, space-saving option for smaller homes.
- Double-leaf entrance doors – A wider opening for a grand entrance.
- Entrance doors with side panels – Adds up to 50% more natural light to your entryway.
- Front doors with transoms – Increases light flow and enhances design appeal.
- Glass panel entrance doors – Allows up to 80% more daylight while maintaining security.
Each entrance door can open inward or outward, depending on what works best for your space.
Security Features – How Our Entrance Doors Keep Your Home Safe
A front door needs to be strong enough to protect against break-ins. We use multi-point locking systems, reinforced uPVC panels, and impact-resistant materials to make sure your door keeps you safe. Here’s how:
- Multi-point locks – The door locks in three to five points, making it much harder to force open than a standard lock.
- Strong, reinforced frames – Extra layers of material increase strength by up to 30%.
- Self-locking mechanical locks – The door locks automatically when you close it, no key needed.
- Keyless entry options – Unlock your entrance door using your smartphone or keypad for added convenience.
- Swing bolt and latch locks – Provide 40% more holding force compared to standard locks.
Energy Efficiency and Noise Reduction – Why Double Glazing Matters
An entrance door without proper insulation lets in cold air in winter and hot air in summer. This leads to higher energy bills. Double-glazed front doors solve this problem by providing excellent insulation. Here’s what that means for you:
- Lower energy costs – Reduces heat loss by up to 70%, cutting heating and cooling expenses.
- Better noise reduction – Blocks out up to 50% more noise than single-glazed doors.
- Weather resistance – Prevents drafts, water leaks, and wind damage, withstanding wind speeds of up to 160 km/h.
- UV protection – The door won’t fade or crack under the sun, maintaining its look for over 20 years.
uPVC is also easy to clean and never needs repainting, making it a low-maintenance choice.
