Homeowners across the United Kingdom are loving the contemporary look. Clean lines and minimal aesthetics are influencing renovation projects, as people seek sleek, architectural kerb appeal for their properties.
The desire for bold, confident entrances continues to grow, particularly in urban and new-build developments. Renovations are also modernising more traditional properties.
Front doors play a central role in modern facades, and homeowners are relishing the opportunity to make a statement with their entrance.
For those looking to add boldness to their entrance, Endurance composite doors provide the style and performance homeowners expect from a modern entrance across our Urban and Avantal collections.
The Rise of Modern Entrances
A shift away from ornate traditional detailing has taken place in recent years. Preference for flush finishes and simple panel layouts has grown, alongside the rising popularity of full-length glazing panels.
Monochrome colours like Anthracite Grey and Black are also proving popular, particularly when paired with contrasting hardware like Stainless Steel or Chrome. There is also greater emphasis on symmetry and proportion during the design process, in a bid to deliver a well-thought-out look to the entrance.
In the property market, strong kerb appeal has become more important. Modernised entrances boost the perceived value of the home, making them a vital feature to secure your home’s long-term value.
The Urban Collection
Designed for contemporary properties, our Urban Collection features clean, minimalist panel designs with an emphasis on bold, uninterrupted surfaces. They’re most popular in new-build homes and renovated townhouses.
With strong vertical lines that create a striking entrance, our Urban doors are ideal with colour finishes such as Anthracite Grey, Raven Black and modern neutral shades. They appeal mainly to homeowners seeking bold simplicity from their front door.
The Importance of Your Front Door Colour
Your front door plays a key role in defining your home’s kerb appeal. It shapes first impressions, influences how your property’s character and value are perceived, and helps create a welcoming, distinctive entrance.
The right door modernises a façade instantly, linking your home’s exterior elements together and creating a cohesive look.
When choosing your front door colour, consider the contrast or harmony you’re looking to achieve. As our colours are durable and low maintenance, your door will retain its colour through all seasons and the unpredictability of the UK weather.
The Avantal Collection
Our Avantal Collection delivers an ultra-modern appearance. The minimal aesthetic of our Avantal doors conveys a high-end, architectural look, particularly popular in darker colourways.
They’re often chosen for modern extensions but suit any contemporary rendered façade. They’re ideal for homeowners wanting a premium finish with the modern performance to match.
