In my previous house, I had a lovely wooden door, varnished with lovely brass door furniture. Then to my horror, the people who bought our house, painted it white and completely ruined it.
had the choice of red, blue green or white but i@ like the reflected light and we couldn'thave red or blue as we couldn't agree Chelsea or liverpool and the green looked quite dull
I think it depends on the area you live for a coloured door. When you pass
some houses, they look quite chavvy all different colours next to one another oops!!
Front door is a solid wood varnished one and the back door a wooden with double-glazed window one. I'm not a pvc person so it has to be wood for me (and unlike pea pod I don't have any draughts or noise)
White upvc. Faces into the westerly winds which blow all year round and are usually laced liberally with horizontal rain. Been through two wooden doors that let rain in, under, through, over. Upvc works fine. I don't sit looking at it all day, but it seems OK to me. Matches the rest of the double glazing. I would only swop it for an airlock.
last two homes before this had wooden doors without porches both rotted despite regular re varnishing and the wooden threshhold part of the step needed changing every couple of years
White PVC with coloured glass, I didn't choose it, it was here when I bought the house. My last house was about 100 years old, and had a lovely wooden door with a stained glass fanlight......................
