Select a door design

All of our designs can be altered to suit your home’s style or size requirements. Below are our standard designs to gain inspiration.

Modern

This contemporary glass door design offers a chic and elegant option that is sure to elevate the aesthetic appeal of any home. The sleek glass panel provide a clean and modern look. With its timeless design, this door will continue to impress for years to come.

Mullion

The mullion, which is a term used to describe the vertical uPVC bar situated in the middle of the door, serves as a defining feature of the door’s design. This two-light design adds a modern and clean aesthetic to the overall appearance of the door.

1/3 Light

The design of the one-third glass allows natural light in while maintaining privacy. Choose between clear glass for a view of the outside or frosted glass for maximum privacy. The uPVC panels can either run vertically or horizontally. It is preferred to have a transom (vertical bar) in the middle of the panelling to strengthen the door as seen in image one.

Cottage

The top section of your entryway can be enhanced with the use of a mullion and transom, which features four glass units. This design creates a charming and traditional look that is sure to add a touch of elegance to your home’s exterior. The panelling can either run horizontally or vertically (as shown).

2 Transom

A transom is a horizontal bar that runs across the door to create different sections. In terms of aesthetics, having two transoms and three glass units can create a timeless and elegant look. The use of multiple transoms and glass units can add depth and texture to the door, and the clean lines created by this design make it a popular choice for both traditional and modern homes.

3 Transoms

This three transom, four glass unit style blends modern and traditional aesthetics making it suitable for a wide range of home styles. As shown in image three, the transoms have been carried over into the sidelight to match the door.

Panel Transom

Adorned with transoms, panels and glass, this door invites natural light into the home while maintaining extra privacy and shading. Choose the order of panels and glass to suit your style and requirements.

Panel

This fully panelled door provides maximum privacy and a touch of traditional charm to your entry way. Panels can be vertical or horizontal, depending on your preference, with either a mullion or transoms required for support on wider doors.

Classic

Elevate your entry way with this striking front door. Below, sturdy uPVC panels either vertically or horizontally and above, glass to flood your space with natural light and welcoming warmth. Place the transom at 1/4, 1/3 or 1/2 to create different style options.

Classic Mullion

This chic design marries a contemporary and classic style, with panelling at the bottom and glass at the top with a mullion in the centre. The result is a chic and sophisticated look that is both timeless and current, making it an excellent choice for any style of home.

Sky View

Enjoy the benefits of privacy while allowing the natural light to come in through the top of the door. While this design is common in European countries, it suits a variety of Australian homes, adding an ornate style to the entry way. Panels can run either horizontally or vertically. As shown in image one, the door is paired with a georgian bar glass unit, and in image two, the door has a mullion running down the centre.
