There are a significant number of exterior door types to choose between when you're either replacing old doors or you are fitting exterior doors as part of an extension or conversion project. For door options suited to opening onto your patio or yard, folding doors, which can be bi-fold or tri-fold, or aluminium framed sliding doors could be the ideal solution for you. For porches and front or rear entrances to properties, an commonly used alternative to solid wood doors is a composite door, because they are up to 6 times more energy efficient than wood. Choosing a door made from uPVC is another option, which is available in a range of finishes which include white, oak veneer and walnut. It is usually the case that uPVC doors are fitted with 5 lever mortice locks which means they have higher security levels compared to cylinder locks which just have one point of contact with the door frame.
Your initial decision when fitting replacement windows or as part of an extension or project, new windows are being installed, is regarding the best type of windows for your property. One of the most popular types of windows is casement windows, and they can either be top hung or side hung, with either one or both sides attached, and they can also include top vents. Installing sash windows is a further option to choose from. They are usually made from wood to which varnish, paint or wood stain can be applied to match interior or exterior wood work. Increased ventilation can be provided with French windows which are like a dual door set where both windows open, or if you want a window option giving increased flexibility, choose twist/turn windows which can either open as a vent or you can flip them 180 degrees making them a good choice for fire escape windows, as well as making them easy to clean. Co-ordinating window cills and boards can be purchased for uPVC windows offering customers an option that requires little maintenance such as painting and staining.
If you're running out of room in your house and need extra living space, building a conservatory or designing a sun room could be the solution you need.

Installation of replacement windows and doors can be effective at increasing your property's energy efficiency by prevent drafts around openings and increasing the amount of insulation between the outside and your property. Replacing single glazed windows is a good way to make significant improvements to your property and fitting double glazing, or as an even more efficient window, consider triple glazing installation.
