Front Door Design
I'm looking to source a new front door that looks the same as the picture attached (this is our back door).
We've had a quote from one company but the door had bevelled and raised panels in the lower half and weren't flat as in the back door.
We've also done some internet searching and a lot that are similar either have a small "shelf" going across the middle (which Other Half has said is the space for the letterbox ) or come with patterned glass (we'd like just plain rippled double glazing). It's a 1950s house in Berkshire.
Can anyone recommend a company or even better a door that might fit?
Thanks!

Front door canopy design - help!!
Comments (11)You want at least 1m in depth to make the entrance useful. You can approach it as an open canopy or closed and part of the house. The 1960s style was a thin concrete or metal canopy with thin steel posts. This creates a very light feel whilst providing the necessary protection from the elements. Obviously technology has moved on now but the same logic can be applied. Make sure you integrate some lighting and possibly some mail storage depending on the layout of the house....See MoreDesign help needed - Victorian house - new front door issue
Comments (14)What a beautiful house. So pleased you have embraced the age and style of the house rather than deciding to ‘modernise’ it as so many posts on this forum want to do to their homes. The door is a lovely colour - agree with you about using that instead of the white on the surrounding woodwork - I’d use it on the inside of the door too. Crest idea is smashing. I think all it is missing then is some softening up ... I would add some beautifully simple planted larger tubs either side of the porch - I think the box look a bit too restrained & out of proportion - I’d go for white flowers spilling over the edge and silver foliage. Maybe something with height - olive trees? Bay ? Maybe echo the planting in window boxes on the ground floor cills (obviously without the trees!) ? White/silver planting looks smart during the day, but just glows in the evening & in artificial light so ideal at the doorway. More colourful planting would compete with the door, keeping the palette restrained would, instead, complement it....See MoreAluminium Front Door
Comments (4)It is unusual for any manufacturer to allow you to supply your own handles and letter box! Handles especially are an intrinsic function of the door and its security ... I would suggest you try speaking to either Duration Windows or Origin they both offer a wide range of products that should more than satisfy your requirements....See MoreNew windows and front door

6 years agoI bought my 1930’s style wooden door online, sorry i cannot remember the firm. It was the nearest in style and also the right width as our doorway is very narrow. It did come with a stained glass window which i really love. We painted it F&B Cook’s Blue.
