Benefits of Engineered Glazed Doors

Engineered external doors have significant advantages over traditional single timber doors. Traditional timber doors often warp and expand in the weather, creating gaps that let in drafts and rain. External doors face particular challenges - warm air inside and cold air outside cause standard doors to pull apart at the joints.

Engineered doors solve these problems through advanced construction. Various parts bond together under extreme heat before being covered in high-grade veneer. This creates a solid body that resists movement, keeping your door sealed and secure through all seasons.

Installation and Care of Exterior Glazed Doors

For optimal performance, your glazed external door needs:

• Professional installation by a qualified joiner

• Four hinges to support the door’s weight

• Solid locking mechanisms

• A sound-fitting, hardwood external grade frame

Your glazed external door becomes immediately exposed to UV rays and the weather from the moment it is hung. All external doors need good quality weather-proof paints or treatments to preserve them through the extremes of the British climate. Please see our help and advice section for further advice on this important element.

Glazed External Doors FAQs

What is the best weatherproof exterior door?

Oak and hardwood doors with engineered cores offer the best weather resistance. Their construction prevents warping, while high-grade veneers and proper weatherproof treatments protect against rain and UV damage.

Are double glazed doors worth it?

Double glazed doors deliver excellent value through reduced energy bills, improved security, and better sound insulation. The 14mm toughened glass units keep heat inside while blocking noise and deterring intruders.

Is thick glass as good as double glazing?

No, thick glass cannot match double glazing’s performance. Double glazing uses two panes with an insulating gap between them, providing better thermal efficiency and sound reduction than any single pane of thick glass.

Are glazed front doors safe?

Yes, glazed front doors with 14mm toughened double glazing are very safe. The toughened glass resists break-ins, while the double-glazed unit construction means even if one pane breaks, the door maintains its security.
