Composite front doors for a welcoming entrance
Choose an entrance that feels right every time you come home. Shire’s composite doors offer different styles, colours and glazing arrangements for Shropshire and Mid Wales homes.
Choosing your front door
Balance the street view with life inside
A front door needs to work for the hallway as well as the façade. Think about privacy, how much daylight you want and the space available when the door opens.
Compare the complete doorset: the frame, glazing, locking hardware, threshold and finishing details. Choose handles and colours alongside nearby windows for a considered result.

Planning your new front door
What affects the quotation?
Door design, size, glazing, hardware, side panels and work to the opening affect the quotation. Check that fitting and finishing are included when comparing doorsets.
What happens at the survey?
The team looks at the entrance, measures the opening and discusses the door style, glazing and practical access you need.
Before installation begins
Confirm the chosen doorset and hardware before fitting. Discuss the removal of the old door and frame, the threshold and the finish around the new entrance.

Questions before you decide
Your composite door questions answered
Can I bring a picture of a door I like?
Yes. A reference photograph is a useful starting point. The team can explain which available designs and finishes are closest to your idea.
Can a new door make the hallway lighter?
A glazed panel or side panel may be worth considering. Balance the amount of glass with your privacy preferences and the opening available.
What should I ask about security?
Ask for the locking and doorset specification for the exact product being quoted. Check any certification against that specification rather than assuming all doors are the same.
