Wooden front doors<\/strong> bring charm and character\u2014but are they still practical in 2025? At GFD Homes<\/a>, we break down the pros and cons to help you decide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Timber doors suit period homes and offer a classic look, but they need regular maintenance and aren\u2019t as thermally efficient or secure as modern options. They\u2019re also more prone to warping in harsh weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By contrast, composite and aluminium alternatives offer:

\u2714\ufe0f PAS 24 certified security
\u2714\ufe0f Better energy performance
\u2714\ufe0f Timber-effect styles that look just like the real thing<\/p>\n\n\n\n
