The best of modern front doors, composite doors offer a superior quality and attractive appearance to homes at a great value. Online suppliers, such as the Composite Door Shop, offer the ability to order side panels at the same time as a composite door.
Side panels are the panels around the front door. These panels are often glazed. Each panel has an individual name - full length side panels, half-length flag windows and top lights are the windows that run along the top of the door and/or side panel.
Side panels are especially good in situations where there is little light passing in to the hall. For those worried about privacy, but not wishing to hang net curtains, there are two choices - either only to get top lights, allowing light through the top windows, out of reach of peepers, or to choose side panels with an obscure glass backing.
Obscure glass backings is where the internal glass panel of double glazing is etched with a pattern which obscures the view. Different patterns offer different amounts of obscuration, so you can choose how much privacy is offered by the glass. This way, you can have a light and airy hallway with a smart front door, stylish side panels and as much privacy as you like.
If standard glazed side panels aren't to your liking, you can order composite side panels instead. These full length side panels can be placed on either side, or both sides, of the composite door and can be coupled with top light windows if preferred. Composite side panels can come as solid or glazed, to match your composite door. The colour, style and glazing used are all suited.
When replacing a front door, it is best to order side panels at the same time, to ensure a good fit and contrast.

Front Door Colours
When choosing a new front door, many people worry about the choice of colour. With wooden doors this may not matter much - it can easily be sanded and re-painted or varnished with a different colour. But what about other doors?
uPVC doors come in a very limited choice of colours. More often than not, you can only get white uPVC doors. Sometimes you have the option of a light or dark wood finish to the uPVC door - but it will cost you over £100 extra for the privilege.
As mentioned in the last post, uPVC doors tend to lose their colour and look musty and grubby. Wood also tends to fade and lose its lustre as it is exposed to the elements.
For those wishing to avoid these problems, a composite door is the answer.
Not only will composite doors stay looking smart, but they are available in seven colour choices. The range of colours are likely to suit every taste.
Dark wood is perfect for anyone wanting a traditional look without the hassle of maintaining it or other potential factors such as fading or rotting.
Red is for those looking for something a bit more daring. Not too bright or in-your-face, it adds an attractive charm to the house.
This deep blue is a classic. Ideal for creating a smart but bold entrance.
Black creates a refined door, ideal for most homes.
Green creates an amazing contrast in red brick homes.
Light oak, perfect for the same wooden traditional look but with a brighter appearance than the dark wood.
White is ideal for most situations. Thanks to the protective skin, you don't need to worry about staining or discolouring. The door won't require much maintenance at all, making this the easiest and cleanest white door you'll ever own!
When you've finished choosing a colour, why not consider your Front Door Mat?
Here's a handy checklist for anyone buying a new front door.
