Designer Doors - Making a Bold Entrance - In Minutes

Your front door says a lot about your home.  A new online store, www.uk-doorsdirect.com, from door specialist Octaveward allows homeowners to design their own individually styled Samson composite door in minutes.  By selecting from a catalogue of attractive and durable components users can create a door with style and character to enhance and secure their home.

The process of door design is simple.  First choose a door style from a range of six solid or glazed models.  There are seven finish options from solid colours to simulated textured hardwoods to choose from.  Then select from a range of glazing, door hardware and frame options before giving the overall dimensions.  Customers can opt to have an Octaveward surveyor take the measurements and their craftsmen install the door if they wish. The cost is automatically calculated and clearly displayed.  Buyers can explore different options easily and the screen graphics show what the completed door will look like.  Even though this is a bespoke product, prices will compare favourably to doors of similar quality from retail outlets. 

All doors have a 10 year guarantee and are expected to provide decades of low maintenance and trouble free performance.  Approved by the police under the ‘Secured by Design’ standard Samson doors have withstood severe attack and weathering tests.  All doors have triple point locking and quality hardware.  

Samson composite doors combine outer skins of moulded glass reinforced polymer (GRP) with frames and cores of Envirowood.  GRP has been used for over 40 years in ocean going yachts and other demanding applications.  Envirowood is made from up to 70 percent recycled styrene; mixed with other polymers to give the density and appearance of hardwood.  Virtually no maintenance is needed and doors will not rot, warp, split, host mould or parasites nor lose texture or colour. 

After logging on to the www.uk-doorsdirect.com web site, homeowners are just eight simple steps from creating the door of their dreams.
