<\/p>\nA Black door with stylish glazing and a warm background lighting looks great<\/p>\n
Black is only one of the thirteen external colours available for you to choose from (white is standard for the internal colour) for our Traditional, Contemporary or Cottage door styles and as the skins of our doors are exceedingly durable GRP based cladding will not fade or rot with the constant weathering, so it never needs sanding and painting or varnishing to keep it looking smart they require a minimum of maintenance other than the occasional wipe with a damp cloth and a yearly drop of oil for the hinges, you will have zero maintenance to worry about compared to the constant re decorating required of timber doors \u2013 our comparison table below highlights just how hardwearing a new composite door can be.<\/p>\n
