uPVC Back Doors

uPVC back doors with triple or double glazing are excellent thermal insulators, allowing you to use central heating more efficiently and save energy overall. uPVC doors achieve these great insulation values because of their multi-chambered profiles. The material isn't one solid block but consists of multiple air-filled chambers that slow down the process of heat diffusion significantly.

In short: uPVC profiles minimise the amount of heat that escapes through your back doors, which in turn minimises the amount of energy you need for heating. This isn't just a real boon for your savings account, it's also very environmentally friendly. That's why many people choose to switch to uPVC doors with double or triple glazing when renovating old buildings. The benefits are simply too significant to ignore and the many available design options allow the new external doors to blend in perfectly with the old windows.

When customising your new uPVC back doors, one important choice you need to make is whether to install one with or without a glazed insert. Doors with large, window-like glass inserts allow sunlight to enter your home, which makes them popular as front doors and patio doors. For a back door, you may want to have tastefully minimalist glazing, as this makes the glazed elements less likely to pose a security risk. A narrow 'window' in your door makes it harder to squeeze an arm through.

windows24.com typically uses high-quality structured glass to create glazed inserts. Some uPVC door types have the glazed element framed with stainless steel to further improve security and provide a unique look.

Depending on which model you choose, you can expect your door to have multi-point locking as well as two to four stabilising hinges and reliable locking mechanisms. That kind of burglary protection equipment is usually enough to scare off most would-be intruders after the first attempt.

Unplasticised polyvinyl chloride (also known as uPVC, PVCu or PVC-U) typically provides a great degree of protection thanks to the material's natural resistance against warping. Keep in mind that back doors are often situated in areas that are hidden from sight, though, which makes them prime targets for burglars. That's why you should add a sufficient number of additional security features to your uPVC doors, such as additional locks, advanced locking mechanisms and safety glass..
