You may be in the market for buying a UPVC door and getting ready to get a quote. I would like to warn you about a UPVC door failure that is reaching epidemic proportions throughout Scotland.
I have seen an incredibly high number of cheap brown UPVC doors failing due to thermal movement. As a result stress cracks are appearing at the edge of their decorative mouldings due to in inability for these types of doors to hand the extreme movement caused by heat and cold.
The doors affected all have the same characteristics, they are normally brown in colour and South facing or spend long periods of the day in the sun, and they have style design that has a pattern that is sticks out further than the door panel.
If you decide you really want a dark colour then it is essential that any mouldings are recessed rather than sticking out.
Another consideration is that cheap upvc doors have minimal if any steel reinforcement in the door or its frame therefore will soon suffer from sticking as the doors expand in the Summer sun. Unfortunately this affects both white and coloured doors and this is also the reason you see doors with their letter boxes missing as there is nothing of any substance inside the door to secure the letterbox properly.
A quality door may well be 5 times more expensive however will give you a trouble free solution that looks great for decades rather than a few years.
When you calculate the cost of your door divided by decades of reliable service a quality made to measure door will save you a fortune and dramatically reduce your stress levels.
If you want to stay warm, be draft free and have a secure door that can not be kicked in then you need to buy quality to get the reassurance you need.
