GFD Homes answers common questions on doors, windows & roof lanterns. Discover expert advice on costs, security, and performance.
Welcome to Part 3 of our “Your Questions Answered” series, where GFD Homes tackles some of the most frequent queries from UK homeowners about doors, windows, and glazing.
One of the most popular debates is composite vs uPVC doors. While uPVC offers affordability and low maintenance, composite doors deliver enhanced security, insulation, and kerb appeal, making them a long-term investment.
We also clear up the difference between entrance doors and front doors. Entrance doors can be any external entry point, while the front door is specifically the main entry. At GFD Homes, both are available in uPVC, composite, and aluminium, all made-to-measure for the perfect fit.
Other key topics include whether bifold doors add value (yes — estate agents highlight them as selling points) and how sliding doors compare in cost (generally slightly cheaper than bifolds, though both offer unique benefits).
Homeowners also ask about aluminium windows and noise levels — but modern glazing ensures they’re as quiet as uPVC. Roof lanterns, meanwhile, won’t leak when engineered and installed properly.
With clear guidance, transparent pricing, and instant online quotes, GFD Homes makes it easy to choose secure, stylish, and durable products with confidence.
