LEADING UK BACK DOOR SUPPLIERS

The following UK suppliers of back doors have comprehensive and informative websites, with information on materials for back doors, types of back doors, and installation and maintenance of back doors.

Jeld-Wen is a leading supplier of back doors and other external doors. It supplies front doors in timber, UPVC, and composite doorset construction. Timber back doors are supplied in panel, glazed, or boarded styles, in oak, hemlock, redwood, softwood or plywood. UPVC back doors are available in a wide range of styles, many of which contain decorative glazed panels. The composite construction combines a hardwood frame with a polyurethane core panel and a GRP (glass reinforced polyester) skin. The panel has six times better insulation than a timber door.

Anglian Home Improvements is a leading supplier of UPVC back doors. You can choose from a range of glazing and security options, and a variety of styles is available in white, mahogany, or golden oak effect. All Anglian Home Improvement residential PVCu back doors incorporate a multiple locking system. Their robust construction and the pins locked within the hinges help resist heavy attacks. Welded joints give more inherent strength than mechanical screw joints, and sculptured door panels are made from resilient vacuum-formed plastic which is then reinforced through the centre.

H&C Trade specialises in steel doors, including high security steel back doors. These are available in a wide range of designs, colours, and finishes, many of which resemble timber doors. They may also be supplied with matching side panels for wider openings. The steel frame is 2mm thick coated with a wood veneer. H&C back doors typically have fourteen steel bolt locks, three dead bolts, and a central cylinder lock. Keys are registered, and owner's permission is required to copy them.
