We all know that feeling of overwhelming pressure when it comes to upgrading your home design. That’s especially true when it comes to choosing the right front door – something that becomes a centrepiece for your home’s entire visual aesthetic! But have no fear because Leekes are here to guide you through a simple process of choosing the best front door for your dream home upgrade.
How to Know Which Front Door Design is Right for You?
Everyone’s home comes in different shapes and sizes, so it can often be challenging to know which door design will best suit your needs. Ultimately, this comes down to your personal preferences and can depend on a variety of factors – it’s not a case of there being one correct answer.
For a more traditional and popular choice, Leekes installs composite doors. These are sleek, durable, and secure composite doors made from a variety of materials. Generally, composite doors look great as a front door for the majority of homes throughout South Wales and England.
Composite doors are highly versatile, meaning they can fit in almost every front entrance. Whether you’ve a front porch, an arched enclosure, a portico, or a side entry, composite doors can be installed almost anywhere, making them an excellent choice for your new front door upgrade.
Alternatively, Leekes also provides high-quality uPVC doors with a variety of customisation options. Our uPVC doors are another popular choice for those looking to upgrade their front door design, offering several benefits, such as better thermal insulation and advanced weatherproofing, and they’re often budget-friendly.

Which is Better: Composite VS uPVC Front Doors?
Both our composite and uPVC door ranges at Leekes offer numerous benefits and advantages. There isn’t one that’s inherently better than the other – it’s whichever one you feel enhances your dream home layout! We’re here to help make that decision for you.
Both our composite and uPVC front doors are made from premium materials. The key difference is that uPVC is typically made from a single type of plastic. In contrast, composite doors can be composed of a combination of materials, including timber, uPVC, foam insulation, and glass-reinforced plastic.
Our uPVC doors are assembled with two of the market’s most reputable door manufacturing names. The panels come from Hurst, while the frame itself is from VEKA uPVC. On the other hand, our composite doors are manufactured by Hurst, Solidor and Rockdoor, offering bespoke and reinforced front door services.
Composite and uPVC front doors are entirely weatherproof and fully durable. There’s zero maintenance required after we’ve installed your new front doors, so you can sit back and relax. Leekes’ high-performance doors are even tougher than most others on the market, making them the perfect choice for updating your front door.
Our composite doors have a key focus on acoustic insulation. Their built-in foam insulation improves the soundproofing of your home, minimising the outside noise entering your living space. If you’re looking to enhance your comfort through soundproofing, composite doors are an excellent choice for your new front door.
Leeks has also emphasised the heat retention in our uPVC front doors, where they have been uniquely designed with thermal efficiency in mind. Our Hurst door panels include innovative heat reflective technology for improved insulation. Paired with our advanced double glazing, your new uPVC door can reduce your energy bills significantly.
