Joan already had a good idea of what style of door she wanted, having seen several in her neighbourhood on morning and evening dog walks. With an appointment booked with an installer, a local sole trader, she was able to explain her preferences.

To give great definition and long life performance Door-Stop doors use glass reinforced plastic skins. That’s the same material used to make the hulls of boats! Reglazable We are very happy with the end result – the door is really smart and after many years of looking after the wooden frames and doors my husband is very happy that it doesn’t need any maintenance! What can be more important than the future of our planet? Everything Door-Stop does is done with an eye on how to reduce the environmental impact. A Wall Mounted Door Stop can range from traditional door catches to a contemporary wall mounted door stop that is attached to the wall, placed in front or behind the door to prevent doors from damaging walls.Joan comments:Our original porch and porch door was very old. The whole thing was wooden and, being on the north facing side of the house, weathered badly. We had replaced large sections of the porch’s wooden frames due to rot once already, but we had never replaced the door which had a single pane of glass and a big gap underneath. In addition to the wider size, the MDS25 is Part M compliant for the smoother transition of wheelchairs and has EPDM rubber seals for a robust solution that lasts. The MDS25 also has improved weather performance due to a compression rebate seal (tested on numerous occasions to 150Pa air and water) and superior thermal efficiency because of an improved thermal break. Sidepanels A front door speaks volumes about a property. Now you can make even more of a statement with our range of contemporary furniture suites which can transform a front door into a real property feature.

You can buy door stops and door holders in round, square, cylinder and oval shapes, usually with rubber attached where the door will hit. Chrome door stops and stainless steel door stops are popular, but we also have other finishes available. For other door stops browse our selection of characterful floor door stops with rustic and decorative designs for additional embellishment to your doors.

Part of the porch renovation was to benefit from better energy efficiency. Along with other energy saving measures – including new double-glazed windows in the porch, and now a new fully-sealed door frame ¬– Joan was surprised by how much of a difference her new GRP door played a part in saving on her gas bills.
