New Front door?

It has served you well and the decision to change has not been easy, but over recent months it has started to look a little tired and you cannot face the trauma of agreeing a new colour let alone carrying out the work involved in a re-paint, that pane of cracked glass should have been replaced months ago, it swells and sticks in the winter months and the locks are now just a little difficult – how many more reasons do you need to change your old wooden front door for a new composite door.

At Global Door we appreciate that there are an awful lot of new doors out there in DIY stores and Hypermarket showrooms and even those who compete with ourselves with online offerings and we realise the choice is difficult – the DIY and Hypermarket options entail doing something many of us dislike – travelling to a shop, listening to a salesperson who may or may not know what they are talking about – not the preferred option. The benefit of shopping online is already known to the majority of us – not having to leave home simply logging into a web site and following that which are normally quite simple and easy instructions. When you visit a really good online door sales site – like for instance Global Door you will find not just the pretty pictures but loads of the technical things you need to know – not only about the door – but also our excellent installation service, our very acceptable 0% finance deals (for those who qualify) and all the guarantees and insurances and consumer protection information all laid out in easy to read format. What web site would be complete without “the reviews” and we at Global Door can say with some pride that our TRUST PILOT reviews are pretty good

Maybe when it comes to picking that new front door you should let Global Door do the bulk of the work, our website already has rather a lot of options –

  • eight options of door frame which come in a choice of seven colours
  • twenty-one door styles thirteen traditional and eight contemporary styles which come in a range of thirteen colours.
