Houses often use a variety of different styles of doors in different locations - there are the big, sturdy external doors, internal doors that have glass and those that don't then there are the specialists like the French doors that work at the back of the house. These doors are the perfect way to enter a conservatory, an extension or even just as an alternative to the back door of your house.

While wood is a traditional door material and uPVC a popular choice over recent decades, one of the newest members to the door style club is the composite door. But what are they and why might they suit your home? Composite doors, as the name suggests, are made from a number of different materials. This normally starts with a solid timber core and has a thermos plastic skin on it. Steel reinforcement is often used to add strength to the door and then the multi point locking systems are added. The result is a door that is one of the most security available as well as being resistant to the weather and having a higher thermal resistance than wood doors - this makes them more energy efficient than other styles of door.

French doors create an attractive entrance to the rear of the house, looking good and adding to the security of the house as well. They work perfectly with a decking area, straight into the garden or onto a pathway around the property. They let plenty of light into the room beyond while maintaining the levels of security needed for your home. Wood is a popular look for French doors, bringing a natural finish to the house. Good quality wood doors can last a long time and are resistant to the weather.

Many of us like the idea of a wood floor, a solid surface that doesn't stain, doesn't rip and that can withstand almost anything the kids or the pets can throw at it. But hardwood flooring can be hugely expensive and isn't always as hard as you would expect. It can also be costly and awkward to install. The good news is that this doesn't mean giving up on a wood floor because there is a perfect solution in the form of laminate flooring. Laminate flooring is a constructed material and with anything manmade this makes it more durable and long lasting than natural materials.

There are lots of times that a bespoke door is just the perfect solution. One of the most common reasons is that your doorway is an odd shape, a common problem in older houses when ideas about standardisation of features didn't really exist. A store bought, standard door might be too big or too small but a bespoke door will fit perfectly because it is made for the space. The Door Factory offer a comprehensive bespoke door service that means regardless of the size and shape of the doorway, we can create a door to fit it.

Since its creation, uPVC has moved to the top of the list of the most popular materials for both doors and windows around the country. Walk up any street and you will see plenty of white doors in a wide range of styles adorning the houses. First there is the ease of care - no painting required and they simply wash clean. Secondly, they look great, form a uniform look with uPVC windows and come in a range of styles. These include glass in different shapes and sizes as well as colour elements that add a touch of brightness to the look.

Sometimes a glass internal door is great to bring light into the rooms on either side. But other times, you want solid internal doors to give privacy with the room on one side or the other. However, just because a door is a solid style, doesn't mean it can't be stylish and fit in with a range of themes. Veneered doors are one that have a thin layer of wood on the surface, bonded to a substrate and then placed onto a timber frame. You can get real wood veneered doors that have the look of solid wood but are less expensive and weigh less.

It creates an instant impression and this can be very important if you are selling your house.

The Door Factory has a showroom at the Forge Market in the east-end of Glasgow, view our opening times. There are two main ideas with internal doors - sometimes you want a door with lots of glass to let in the light and other times you want a solid one to give privacy to the room on either side. Whatever the style of internal door you seek, you need look no further than The Door Store. The Door Store offer doors to Forge Market Glasgow and around the city. We offer internal and external doors, French doors and UPVC doors for both the front and back of the house.

They pair perfectly with the front door in the house or you can opt for coordinating styles that are different but work together. But most importantly, the uPVC back door offers all the benefits that makes these styles so popular for a front door. While the front door is the face of your house to the rest of the world, for many people, the back door is the one they use the most. It can also be away from the eyes of the street and makes it a popular choice for burglars to attempt to gain access to your home.

If you love the look of real wood but find the price involved with the traditional types a little too much for your budget, then pine doors are well worth consideration. Many traditional hardwoods are no longer available for doors or are disproportionately expensive. Pine doors, on the other hand, come from conifer trees, of which there are always a plentiful supply. They can also be combined with other woods to make doors that are every bit as tough as a hardwood door. Another feature that makes pine doors such a popular option is that they have the beauty that only real wood can create.

Front doors do two vital jobs for your house - adds the main security to the entrance ways and creates a finished and stylish look to the house. Both front and back doors as well as patio doors all contribute to the security of the house so need to have the latest in locking features while their partnership with windows and other features creates a harmonious look. One of the most popular choices for externals doors are uPVC doors. These definitely fulfil the security element, with multi-point locking systems that make them much harder to break in through than single locking system doors.
