Your front door is more than just an entry point — it’s the first impression visitors get of your home and plays a vital role in security, insulation, and kerb appeal. With so many options available, choosing the right door can feel overwhelming. At Martins Windows and Doors, we’ve spent over 35 years helping homeowners across Middleton and the North West find the perfect fit. Here’s our expert advice to help guide your decision.
1. Consider the Style of Your Property
Whether you live in a modern new-build or a traditional Victorian terrace, your door should complement your home’s character. Composite and Rockdoors come in a wide range of finishes and colours, from classic woodgrain to contemporary greys and bold statement colours. We also offer bespoke options like anthracite grey or agate for a truly tailored look.
A well-chosen door can instantly elevate your home’s appearance, especially when paired with matching windows, canopies, or brick porches. For rear entrances or garden access, French doors or aluminium bifolding doors can flood your living space with natural light while maintaining a clean, stylish design.
2. Focus on Security
Security should never be compromised. All of the doors we install – from composite doors to Rockdoors – are built with high-security locking systems, reinforced frames, and superior materials. Rockdoors in particular are known for their strength and durability, giving homeowners peace of mind.
We’re fully insured and experienced in fitting doors that meet the latest standards in home security. We’ll make sure your new door isn’t just attractive, but built to protect.
3. Don’t Overlook Energy Efficiency
A poorly insulated front door can result in significant heat loss. That’s why all our installations are focused on energy efficiency. Composite doors, for example, are made with insulating foam cores and high-quality seals that keep the cold out and the warmth in. Paired with double or triple glazing, your new door can help reduce energy bills and improve comfort throughout the year.
4. Think About Functionality
Is your existing doorway draughty, hard to open, or poorly fitted? We specialise in both replacements and new installations — even in places that didn’t previously have doors or windows. We’ve installed doors in garages, outbuildings, and awkward spaces, always ensuring a neat finish and long-lasting performance.
Our aluminium bifolding doors are also popular for creating open-plan living areas with easy garden access. They can be customised with integrated blinds for added privacy and shade without clutter.
