Traditional front solid core case study

 Like many homes in Risley and nearby villages such as Sandiacre, Draycott, and Borrowash, this property featured older-style doors that had become inefficient over time. The client needed a reliable, secure replacement that still matched the home’s character.

They were looking for:

• A composite back door with high security features
• Improved thermal insulation
• A colour and style sympathetic to the home’s traditional feel
• Long-lasting materials requiring little maintenance

 We recommended the Lomond style from the renowned Endurance composite door range — a solid timber core door known for its strength and classic styling. The customer chose a soft Sage green finish paired with beautiful Elizabeth Red stained glass, framed with antique black iron-style hardware

.

Installation Highlights:

• Solid core Endurance composite door – 48mm thick for maximum security
• Sage green colour – ideal for traditional or countryside homes
• Stained glass design – Elizabeth Red glazing adds elegance and privacy
• Antique black hardware – including lever handle and letter plate
• Low maintenance, weather-resistant finish

 The installation went smoothly, with our team removing the old back door and preparing the frame to fit the new composite door perfectly. The transformation was immediate: no more draughts, added insulation, and a striking yet subtle upgrade that preserved the traditional look of the property.

The customer, based in Risley, was thrilled with the result, both visually and functionally.
