Replacing your front door is one of the most simple yet effective ways to improve your home’s security, energy efficiency and kerb appeal. After all, the front door is one of the most prevalent features of your home and plays a big role in its performance.
We find that many of the homeowners we work with are unsure what the process of changing a front door looks like. So, in this guide, we’ll explain just that.
When Is the Right Time to Replace Your Front Door?
It’s likely to become apparent when your front door is due for an upgrade, and there might even be telltale signs you haven’t taken notice of.
Draughts and poor insulation aren’t visible, but you will feel them. If you notice the cold seeping in through your door or your home feels colder than it should, you should consider making a change.
More easily noticeable is any difficulty in opening or closing. You might spot visible wear or structural damage to the frames, hardware or glazing, which will hinder the performance it offers.
Upgrading your front door to an Endurance composite solves any shortcomings of your existing one and boosts both security and energy efficiency.
Choosing the Right Composite Door
Composite doors have rocketed in popularity in the 21st century, and it’s easy to see why. They’re strong and secure, providing excellent thermal insulation while being low maintenance.
They allow for extensive design flexibility, demonstrated perfectly by Endurance’s 20+ colour options and 80+ style choices. Further options to tailor your door, such as glazing and hardware options, allow our customers to create a door that’s truly their own.

Proper and accurate measuring is imperative to the entire process. Working with one of our trusted Installer Partners, you can rest assured that all measurements are made correctly and that a smooth and efficient installation will be carried out.
