Key Factors Influencing Door Pricing

 

Customisation and Design

 

Standard size doors offer the best value, while custom sizes typically add 20-40% to base prices. Pre-finished doors cost £50-£100 more than unfinished options but save significant time and effort. Popular finishes include:

 

• Factory-primed: £30-£50 additional
• Pre-finished oak: £80-£120 additional
• Custom paint colours: £60-£100 additional

 

Energy Efficiency and Insulation

 

Energy-efficient doors feature advanced materials and sealing systems. Doors with 'A' energy ratings typically cost 15-25% more than standard options but can reduce annual heating costs by up to £120. Most external doors now include:

Brand, Supplier, and Warranty

 

Premium brands like Deanta and XL Joinery typically cost 20-30% more than standard options, reflecting their superior build quality and extended warranties. 

 

Budget-Friendly Door Selection Tips

 

Smart timing and material choices significantly reduce costs without compromising quality. Mid-range primed internal doors, such as our £120 Coventry White Primed Internal Door, often provide the best value, offering security and efficiency features comparable to premium models costing £1,500+.

 

 

Standard sizes deliver substantial savings – a pre-sized 762mm x 1981mm door typically costs 30% less than custom dimensions. Opting for primed rather than pre-finished doors saves £50-£100 per door if you're comfortable with DIY finishing.

FAQs on Door Pricing and Selection

 

What Are Custom Door Size Costs?

 

Custom sizing typically adds 30-40% to standard door prices. For example, a standard internal door costing £200 would increase to £260-£280 when customised. Most custom orders take 3-4 weeks for delivery.

 

Are Pre-Finished Doors Worth the Extra Cost?

 

Pre-finished doors cost £50-£100 more than unfinished options but save approximately £120-£180 in finishing materials and labour. Factory finishing also ensures consistent quality and immediate installation readiness, typically offering better long-term value.

 

Which Material Offers Best Security Value?

 

Composite doors provide the best security-to-cost ratio, starting at £800 with enhanced security features. Though more expensive than uPVC (£300-£500), they offer superior break-in resistance and typically include insurance-approved multi-point locking systems as standard.

 

Is Energy Efficiency Worth the Extra Investment?

 

Energy-rated doors cost 15-25% more but can reduce annual heating costs by £120-£150. A-rated doors typically pay for their premium within 5-7 years through energy savings, while also increasing property value by 1-2%.
