Stylish back doors

The price of your new back door depends on many factors, such as the material and which external and internal fittings you choose. Back doors are typically less costly than front doors, and you can further lower the price by choosing a more affordable material (such as uPVC instead of steel with a hardwood / softwood core) or a standard colour (such as white). The most affordable option is probably a single white uPVC patio door without any extras like panels.

While you shouldn't try to lower the price by foregoing security features on exterior doors (such as hidden hinges), you may be able to reduce it by putting less emphasis on thermal insulation. Back doors often lead to rooms which aren't heated. One way or another, you'll want to plan with a low four-digit number when it comes to the projected price of your new back door.

Yes, Windows24.com always provides you with both the leaf and the frame (and any panels you may want). All of these parts must fit together perfectly to provide maximum burglary protection and thermal insulation. So, if you just need a new door leaf for an existing frame, it's best to just order the complete package from Windows24.com and replace the frame as well.

Back doors are often more plain than front doors since they aren't as important to the overall visual aesthetic of your home. After all, you'll probably want to welcome guests through the front door in style, won't you? Thus, back entrances typically don't feature side panels, sidelights, glazed elements or similar extras. In terms of functionality, however, back doors are every bit as intricate as front doors.

The security levels of both doors are typically similar since would-be intruders look for the path of least resistance. All of the exterior security features on your front door may end up being pointless if you skimped on burglary protection for your property and installed non-safety glazed inserts, for example.
