Front door - am I asking too much?

[OneAtATime]

I’m replacing my front door with a composite one. It needs to have quite a lot of glass panels as hallway has no other windows.

I also want a letterbox.

I had wanted Solidor but their models with even a small about of glass seem to rule out a letterbox. Am I asking too much?

Can anyone recommend any other brands? I’ve looked at Rock and that might be an option..

Which model are you looking at? Think it's the Stirling that has the biggest window but I'm sure you can still have a letterbox in it.

Have you looked at a letterbox in the bottom of the door? Pain in the arse for postmen and news boys but might work. Sorry about the casual sexism but wine has been taken and I can't be arsed to work out non gendered versions.

I have a solidor with glass and a letterbox

You could have a Beeston model which is half glass with a letterbox. Or a Ludlow two which is two panels of glass.

Funnily enough I was doing a design your own front door thing with them and there were definitely letterboxes. How much does a composite door cost these days?

I have been looking at front doors and finding it really difficult to get what i want. Tbh what i really want is someone to pop over and do it all for me 😆

The Alnwick has lots of glass and a letter box.

We are Getting a new front door & going for pvc instead of composite as half the price & we want mostly glass. Why do you want composite out of interest? We're getting windows replaced so bigger project

@buckeejit composite doors are meant to be much higher rated in security and thermal properties than any other type.
Also they aren’t supposed to be as susceptible to weathering/discolouration from the elements.

I'm looking at composite doors.

I'll send you a couple of links tomorrow.

Endurance doors. They do tons of designs with glass and a letterbox https://endurancedoors.co.uk/

we got one of these front doors, it cost too much but it’s the nicest part of my house and does feel like good quality. It was also the most convincing painted wood door I could find.

I think what you need is a door with two glass panels & a horizontal divider with a letterbox.

I have a Solidor with glass, letterbox AND a door knocker
Of course it's possible

I completed their build a door and you can have a letterbox. I did it in white just so it would stand out for the photo-

Amazingly helpful! Thanks everyone

i should have added property is a 70s townhouse so looking for something quite modern. Italia range in Solidor was what I was looking at.

Have you tried Xtreme doors? We've had a modern one of theirs before with a letterbox and full glass panel.

Birmingham area , been getting quotes for a front door , not sure what I should pay ?
