New Energy Efficient Replacement Front Doors
There are typically three aspects behind choosing new or replacement front doors and those would be appearance, security & energy efficiency. Basically, if your existing one looks shabby, doesn’t fit well and can’t keep the weather (or an intruder) out then it’s time to get a new one.
Replacement Front Doors
The latest “FrontGuard” range from Garador may be a good place to start. This range is claimed to be “ultra-energy efficient” with a U-value of 0.81w /m2k.
The “FrontGuard” has built in rubber seals along all four edges which keep out wind & rain. The core is constructed with 65mm of insulating polyurethane foam.
As standard, the frames benefit from thermal breaks to stop heat & cold transfer.
Typical Features
- Steel faced
- 46-65mm dense foam cores
- Thermal breaks on frames
- 12-point security locks
- Shatter-proof glazing
- RC2 Security Certified
- “Secured by Design” Accreditation
- 10-year guarantee
In terms of security these doors & frames are very good, benefiting from steel facing, aluminium frames, multipoint locks and glazed areas with shatter-proof glass.
