There is no substitute for style <\/strong><\/p>\n

A certain Mr F Sinatra accompanied by Messrs D Martin and Mr B Crosby pretty much summed it up an awful lot of years ago with their song called \u201cStyle\u201d-<\/a> and the key phrase –<\/p>\n

\u201cyou either have or you have not got style<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve got it stands out a mile\u201d<\/p>\n

Although the song in question was referring to an individual the sentiment of the above lines equally applies to so many aspects of daily life where class and style simply shine through and few could be more obvious than in your choice of front door. Your front door is your greeting card to the world- so for most of us it has to be warm and welcoming and it oozes class and style \u2013 all the better.<\/p>\n

Where do you start, with so many options and choices available when it comes to designing your new it can sometimes be understandably difficult to achieve a look you\u2019ll be delighted with \u2013 but a good starting point is to look at the architecture of your building and matching it with a door style know the style that best suits your property \u2013 Victorian Edwardian, Contemporary, Country Cottage etc.<\/p>\n

Trying to define your property by architectural style can in itself be difficult as although in architectural terms \u2013<\/p>\n

\"Solidor
Solidor Harlech Timber Composite Door<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Victorian can be described with the following features –<\/p>\n

\u2014 Large, jutting bay windows.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Asymmetrical design<\/p>\n

\u2014 Grey slate roofs.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Brick or stone construction.
\n\u2014 Ornate panelled doors.
\n\u2014 Often decorative glazing styles.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Frequently with a door such as –<\/p>\n

\"Chartwell-Green-Tenby-Solidor-Timber-Composite-Door\"<\/p>\n

and Edwardian as \u2013<\/p>\n

\u2014 Prominent chimney sitting on the \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0slope of the roof<\/p>\n

\u2014 Steep, ceramic roofs for extra loft space.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Bay windows and porches were common.<\/p>\n

\u2014 High ceilings and thinner construction.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Doors combined different glazing sizes.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Frequently with a door such as \u2013<\/p>\n

We could go on and describe the architectural features of numerous styles of property in fact we have done so in previous articles but the big problem that we find is that using the two above examples -neither description of the architectural style says very much about door styles and over generations the lines have blurred and it is not uncommon to find the same style of door being described as Victorian, Edwardian or Georgian by different manufacturers \u2013 which is why the Timber Composite Door<\/a> designer has taken the next radical and yet logical yet step to make it easy for our customers as we state our objective in big bold wording on the home page of our web site \u2013<\/p>\n

\u201cHELPING CUSTOMERS ACHIEVE THEIR PERFECT FRONT DOOR\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We no longer try to categorise the doors by Architectural era we use four simple definitions for our doors and group them under these terms on our door designer<\/a> \u2013<\/p>\n

Traditional and Cottage doors<\/strong> where you will find 32 styles of doors that can fall into this general category<\/p>\n

Contemporary and Italia Collection <\/strong>where you will find 24 styles of doors that are just about as modern in styling as you could wish for<\/p>\n

Stable Doors<\/strong> \u2013 not everyone of our door styles can be converted to a stable door but here are 24 that can<\/p>\n

French Doors<\/strong> \u2013 because virtually all of our doors are available as Trench Doors that\u2019s a whopping 56 styles at the last count<\/p>\n

We said we were making it easy but with a possible 136 variations of door alone before we consider the choice of 20 External colours and remember the same 20 colours are available for the interior of the door and then we have a huge range of glazing and hardware accessories –<\/p>\n

we are pretty sure that all of our customers can design doors that are the ultimate in personalised style to suit their property and we here at Timber Composite Door can state with certainty that anyone who installs any one of our front doors will definitely have style \u2013<\/p>\n

because it will stand out a mile.<\/em><\/p>\n
