Choosing the Right Front Door: Style, Security, and Energy Savings

Your front door does more than welcome guests — it’s the first impression your home makes, a barrier against intruders, and an important line of defence against the cold. If your door is looking tired, feels draughty, or no longer offers the security you need, it might be time for an upgrade.

At Regency Home Improvements Ltd, we help homeowners across Deal, Kent find front doors that offer a perfect balance of style, safety, and performance. From modern composite doors to elegant uPVC options, we supply and fit front doors that truly transform your home.

Here’s what to consider when choosing the ideal front door.

1. Security First: Keep Your Home and Family Safe

Security is a top priority for any homeowner, and your front door plays a critical role in keeping your property protected. At Regency Home Improvements Ltd, all of our doors feature:

• Multi-point locking systems

• Toughened or laminated safety glass

• Reinforced frames

• Optional anti-snap cylinders and security upgrades

Our doors are tested to the highest industry standards, so you can have peace of mind knowing your home is secure — whether you’re at home or away.

2. Boost Energy Efficiency

Old or poorly fitted doors can be a major source of heat loss. Cold draughts, gaps in the frame, or single-glazed panels all reduce your home’s energy efficiency. Our modern front doors are built with insulating cores, sealed units, and weather-resistant seals, helping you:

• Keep heat in and cold out

• Lower your energy bills

• Improve your EPC rating

In coastal areas like Deal, where winter winds can be strong, a properly sealed and insulated front door is a smart investment.

3. Choose a Style That Suits Your Home

Your front door is one of the most visible features of your home, so it’s important to choose a design that complements its style and character.

We offer a wide range of door styles and finishes, including:

• Traditional paneled doors for period properties

• Contemporary flush or glazed designs for modern homes

• Cottage-style doors with woodgrain textures

• Bold colour options including red, blue, grey, black, and anthracite

• Decorative glass for a touch of elegance

You can even customise your hardware with matching knockers, handles, letterplates, and spyholes.

4. uPVC vs Composite Doors: What’s the Difference?

uPVC doors are a cost-effective option, offering good insulation and low maintenance. They’re lightweight, weather-resistant, and available in a wide range of finishes.

Composite doors, meanwhile, are built from a combination of materials (typically wood, foam, and GRP), offering:

• Superior thermal insulation

• Enhanced strength and durability

• A timber-like appearance with none of the upkeep

If you’re looking for the best of both worlds — performance and aesthetics — composite doors are an excellent choice for long-term value.

5. Low Maintenance, Long-Lasting Performance

Our front doors are designed to withstand the elements. Whether you choose uPVC or composite, you’ll benefit from:

• Fade-resistant colours

• Easy cleaning surfaces

• Resistant to warping, cracking, and peeling

• Long warranties for added peace of mind

In a seaside town like Deal, it’s important to choose materials that stand up to salt air and changing weather — and we’ve got the experience to guide you.
