Is a glass front door a good idea?

While it looks stunning, it might not be for everyone.
Let’s have a quick breakdown of the advantages and disadvantages of glass doors:

1. Advantages
-Brings in lots of natural light, making the house brighter and more welcoming.
-Steel and glass doors add a modern and elegant touch.
-Gives you a clear view of the garden or street, depending on your door’s positioning.
-Makes a great first impression, which can even increase your home’s value.

2. Disadvantages
-If the glass is clear, it can cause privacy issues as people may be able to see inside your home.
-Glass is more vulnerable than solid doors.
-Provides less insulation compared to solid doors.
-The cost is usually higher than a standard door.

Stay calm, we can help with that.

As a fully bespoke company, we offer multiple glass and profiles options to suit your needs:
-To improve insulation, we can provide triple glazing or solar control glass to make your glass
front door energy-efficient.
-Worried about privacy? Choose from our range of glass foils for added discretion.
-Concerned about security? Our team can use laminated glass for extra protection, and we include multipoint locking systems for peace of mind.

So, would you make the front door of your house from glass?

Bespoke Choice:
We’d go for a triple-glazed unit with a mirror foil. This allows maximum privacy, you can see out, but people can’t see in. Plus, it helps with summer heatwaves as mirror glass is usually tinted.
