What half-glazed uPVC Door is best for a contemporary home?
A half-glazed uPVC door is great for brightening a rear hallway or kitchen, but for a contemporary home, which type is the best? To answer this, we will look at:
- Our half-glazed styles: From the plain panel to the more decorative
- Our contemporary door finishes: Neutral finishes rather than potentially distracting colours
Our half-glazed uPVC Doors
What we offer: Doors with flat, grooved and decorated lower panels.
Description: We offer five half-glazed styles of uPVC Back Doors. The most fitting for contemporary homes are our Half Flat Panel uPVC Doors. More suited to rural homes are the vertically grooved Fife uPVC Back Doors. For traditional homes, there are the double squared Greenock uPVC Back Doors, the twin indented Dundee uPVC Back Doors, and the twin raised Edinburgh uPVC Back Doors. Plain-and-simple glass, namely the Half Flat Clear/Pattern uPVC Door, is ideal for straightforward modern design, while the Half Flat Box Lead Design Back Door and Plain Panel uPVC Diamond Lead Back Door add a traditional twist.
Our contemporary door finishes
What we offer: The light Agate Grey, the dark Anthracite Grey and Black.
Description: Set the tone with one of our neutral finishes. For a relaxed feel, choose our lightest grey, Agate Grey (RAL 7038). Our Half Flat Panel Anthracite Grey uPVC Back Doors (in RAL 7016) are perfect for creating a feeling of formality, with a dark imposing tone. To create contrast with lighter walls, consider our Half Flat Panel Black uPVC Back Doors (in RAL 9017). As our finishes are RAL standard colours, they can easily be matched to foils in uPVC windows or painted surfaces for surrounds.
To conclude, the best half-glazed uPVC Door style for contemporary homes is the Half Flat Panel uPVC Back Door, plain and simple without distracting elements. For glass design, the Clear/Pattern is a good choice also for simplicity. For the finish, this largely depends in the kind of atmosphere you want to invoke – Agate Grey for a soft, welcoming doorway; Anthracite Grey for dark and formal; or Black for strikingly stark contrast.
