What to Consider When Replacing Your Doors

What can give a house more kerb appeal than stylish and secure external doors? Well according to estate agents, potential buyers take just eight seconds to decide whether they are interested in a property and the first thing they look at is the front door.

And with security also high on people’s priority list, a door with both impact and security should be something homeowners think seriously about investing in. Here at Bon Accord Glass we like to add low maintenance and a choice of finishes to the mix so that our customers have choice and peace of mind. In addition, you can be sure that we provide the best possible installation and after-care as is warranted by your investment. So here are the questions we think you should be asking when choosing external doors:

• What kind of finish and features do I want?
• What security features come with these doors?
• What is involved in the installation process?
• Is there an effective after-care service provided?
• What about payment methods?

Finish and Features

Composite

Composite doors are one of the most popular on the market today and offer an impressive list of benefits. Composite doors are made from multiple materials which ensures great strength, durability and looks. The core of a composite door can contain wood, insulating materials and many other layers which are all protected by a weather resistant outer skin.

UPVC

UPVC is a popular material to make doors out of and is the material that is most closely associated with all home improvement products. This material is highly weather resistant and as such, a door made from this material is likely to stay weather tight and last for many years with little need for maintenance. This practical benefit makes this type of door suitable with a range of our customers including business owners and landlords as well as homeowners.

Hardwood

Hardwood doors are very thick and strong which ensures great safety and insulation for your home or business. While they will require varnishing, painting and weather sealing regularly over their life span, this can be a positive advantage if you like to change the look of your entrance.

Aluminium

Aluminium doors have gained in popularity in recent years given that aluminium is light, strong, corrosion resistant and easy to maintain − a material with a long life.

Security

When you install external doors, you need to know that they don’t leave your home or business exposed to threats. At Bon Accord Glass, we take security very seriously and want our customers to have the peace of mind that comes with fitting high-quality products. We are proud that our products carry many British Standard Institute Kitemarks as manufacturers’ accreditations – the ultimate recognition of quality and trust. In addition, you can be safe in the knowledge that our security features carry the official Police Security Initiative – something we are very proud to be part of.

After Care

No one wants to make an investment in their home without the confidence that this investment comes with certain guarantees. Everyone has read the stories about building work that hasn’t gone to plan and companies who simply refuse to be accountable to their customers. While we are confident in our skilled tradesmen, products and installation process we appreciate that there are times when after care is required. To that end, we offer a comprehensive 10-year guarantee with our products and installations, with the confidence of knowing that we will be here if you ever need to use it.

Payment Methods

The days of either paying for a product outright or having one type of credit plan available to customers are long gone. Today’s savvy consumers want to make their hard-earned cash work for them. For this reason, it makes sense to do business with a company who recognises that the credit plan which works for one kind of customer simply won’t work for another. At Bon-Accord Glass, we have a range of credit plans to suit the kind of payments you are comfortable with and for the length of time you want to pay.
