Quick, urgent!!! If you were getting a new front door, would you choose a dowel door which looks nice with double glazing, or a M&T door with toughened glass that doesn't look quite so nice?

Dowel is not quite as strong as an M&T but not sure if the M&T is so much stronger that it makes much of a difference. Also does double glazing make much of a difference with toughened glass?

Opinions please!

Couldyou give link because I don't know what they are? Suspect you are leaning towards dowel door though.

LOL you are right!!!

I have now decided, am empowered to make a decision without the approval of mumsnet.

in my head M&T means mother and toddler?

LOL.

Mortice and tenon (i think that's how you spell it.)

It's just a different constructiobn, it's the traditional way of making the panelled doors and I think they're stronger than the dowel way but not sure what the exact diff. is

I am actually interested in this question. Don't know what either are but do want to replace our vile upvc door. Any links?

Tinker, www.diy.com is the b&q site, they have loads of doors which apparantly aren't bad. My carpenter was going to do a Howden's door, Magnet etc. also do them and if you want to pay £5,000 for one there are also plenty on t'internet!

£5000 Will look, thanks LB
