Whether you’re replacing an old door or building a new home, the right entrance door combines style, security, and functionality. At Crown, we understand how important this choice is. That’s why we offer a range of entrance doors in composite, uPVC, and aluminium, so you can find the perfect match for your home.
In this blog, we’ll explore how to select the ideal entrance door, with options that provide both aesthetic appeal and top-tier security features.
Composite doors can be finished in a huge range of colours.
Composite Entrance Doors
Composite doors are made from multiple materials, consisting of a foam or timber core depending on whether you’re looking to prioritise thermal performance or security. Externally, they’re finished with a glass-reinforced plastic outer skin, which is both weather resistant and stylish, giving you the best of both worlds.
- Benefits: Durability, low maintenance, energy efficiency, and excellent security with multi-point locking.

uPVC Entrance Doors
uPVC doors are a cost-effective option that doesn’t compromise on style. The UK’s most popular window and door material, they’re low-maintenance, energy-efficient, and available in a wide variety of colours and designs. Their popularity stems from their affordability, which is due to their ability to be mass-produced, not a quality compromise.
- Benefits: Affordable, energy-efficient, resistant to weathering, and available in many styles.
Aluminium Entrance Doors
For a contemporary look, aluminium doors offer sleek frames and large glass panels, making them perfect for a modern home. These doors are not only stylish but also incredibly durable, energy-efficient, and lightweight, making operation easy.
- Benefits: Sleek design, durability, energy efficiency, and minimal maintenance.
Style Inspiration: Personalising Your Entrance Door
Choosing the right style for your entrance door can set the tone for your home’s exterior. From traditional woodgrain effects to contemporary aluminium designs, there’s a style for every taste.
Woodgrain Effects
For a more traditional look, woodgrain effects are available on both composite and uPVC doors, giving the appearance of real wood without the maintenance. Popular finishes include Rosewood, Golden Oak, and Irish Oak.
Contemporary Aluminium
If you prefer a sleek, modern look, aluminium doors are a perfect choice. Their slim frames and large glass panels allow plenty of natural light, creating a light and airy entrance.
Standout Shades
The colour of your entrance door plays a key role in its impact. Crown Conservatories, Windows and Doors Ltd offers a wide range of colours, including Duck Egg Blue, Anthracite Grey, and Chartwell Green—all designed to complement your home’s exterior.
Decorative Glazing and Side Panels
Decorative glazing and side panels do more for your home than just looking good. Glass options such as Florielle and Sycamore look stunning, but also give you privacy thanks to their intricate designs. Although if it’s natural light intake you’re looking for, we’d advise looking at side panels, as regular exposure to a well-lit area comes with several mental and physical benefits.
Side panels are increasingly popular with composite doors.
Security: Keeping Your Home Safe
When it comes to entrance doors, security is a top priority. All our doors come with high-security features, including multi-point locking systems, which provide additional peace of mind.
- Multi-Point Locking: Locks the door at multiple points, making it more secure against forced entry.
- Reinforced Materials: Whether composite, uPVC, or aluminium, each door is made from strong materials that can withstand attempted break-ins.
