Features & Benefits of Our Entrance Doors

Visual Appeal

Our entrance doors are available in a wide range of eye-catching designs to match your home’s aesthetic and create stunning visual appeal.

Highly Secure

Our entrance doors are crafted from durable uPVC and strong aluminium, offering you and your family extra protection, and added peace of mind.

Excellent Weatherproofing

Aluminium, uPVC, and composite frames remain free from warping and rotting over time, delivering excellent weather resistance and long-lasting performance.

Easy Operation

Our entrance doors utilise lightweight materials for effortless operation, reduced strain on handles and hinges, and enhanced lifespan.

Bespoke Designs

You can choose from a wide range of colours, glazing options, and hardware choices to create an entrance door that matches your home.

Side Panels: Enhancing Your Entrance

Adding glass side panels to your front door transforms both the exterior and interior of your home. These additional glazing options can be:

  • Positioned on one or both sides of your door
  • Matched to your door’s glass options for a coordinated look
  • Made with decorative glass patterns for privacy
  • Full-length or partial height depending on your preference

Side panels bring extra light into what can often be dark hallways, creating a more welcoming entrance to your home. The additional glass panels make your entrance appear wider and more substantial, increasing kerb appeal and potentially adding value to your property.

For smaller properties, front door side panels can create the illusion of space, while in larger homes they can add a grand entrance.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    The right front door makes a significant first impression and needs to perform several functions well - from keeping your home secure and warm to complementing its architectural style. Here are some common questions we get.

    Can't see the answer you're looking for?

    Contact Our Team Today

    Are front doors with side panels more expensive?

    While adding side panels will increase the overall cost compared to a door alone, the difference is often less than expected. The exact price depends on the door material, size of the panels, and glass options chosen. We provide detailed quotes based on your specific requirements.

    Do side panels reduce security?

    No, all our side panels are manufactured to the same high security standards as our doors. We use toughened double glazing throughout, and the frames are secured with the same attention to detail as the main door frame.

    Can I have different glass in the side panels than in my door?

    Absolutely. While many customers prefer matching glass for a coordinated look, others choose clear glass in the side panels with decorative glass in the door (or vice versa). We can advise on combinations that work well together.

    Can side panels be added to my existing door?

    In most cases, it's better to replace the entire door set rather than trying to add side panels to an existing door. This ensures proper fitting, matching appearances, and consistent thermal efficiency across the entire entrance.

    How do I get started?

    If you're considering upgrading your home's entrance with a beautiful new front door with side panels, contact our team today on 01293 408 713 or email bsfwindows@gmail.com. We cover the entire Surrey and Sussex region.
