FAQs

Our doors come in a range of styles and designs that can be customised to your personal taste. We offer entrance doors, composite doors, sliding patio doors, bi-fold doors, French doors and internal doors, all of which can come with a choice of glazing, side panels and are available in a range of colours, styles and accessories.

The cost of installing a new front door will differ dependant on the type of door you want to install, the door style, material used if you need to replace the side panels, the size of the door, additional glass features, type of locking system, and the cost of adapting to the structure of your existing door and threshold.

Composite doors are made up of a mixture of materials including solid timber, reinforced steel, uPVC and other elements, while uPVC doors are purely made from that one material. uPVC tends to be cheaper than composite, however, composite doors offer you a higher level of home security, thermal efficiency and durability.

Of course – many entrance doors are. Not all homes in the UK have same sized doors and doorways, so it’s common for homeowners to request a custom-sized front door. At Northwich Glass, we can tailor your entrance door to meet your exact requirements.

UK building regulations say that the main entranceway to a dwelling should have a clear width of at least 775mm, so as long as your door meets or exceeds this restriction, it can be any size.

Yes. If you're looking for a way to add value to your home, sliding patio doors are a great option to consider. Not only are they energy-efficient and low-maintenance, but they also improve your home's curb appeal and increase its resale value.

With consistent light cleaning, but without any major maintenance, sliding patio doors usually last for about 30 years.

As a major access point to your home, it’s natural to be concerned regarding security, but there’s no need to panic as all of our bi-fold doors are highly secure. The master door has a multi-point locking mechanism with hook bolts, while intermediate doors have bolts to top and bottom.

Yes. Our French doors offer fantastic insulation and energy efficiency. Their low U-values mean you can retain heat in the colder months and in turn, reduce your energy bills whilst keeping cosy. In the summertime, our French doors will also enable you to keep your living space nice and cool.

The advantage of aluminium – or steel look – doors is that they have a thinner frame, allowing for larger door sizes. The doors also have a thinner sash profile meaning larger glass sizes, and larger glass sizes mean more light and an overall better looking door.

In short, yes. You can put a solid roof on an existing conservatory. This is called a 'retrofit', something which is becoming increasingly popular amongst homeowners who have older conservatories and are looking to upgrade.

Replacing the roof on your conservatory normally doesn't need planning permission, however, you may still need building regulation approval. For help and advice on regulation requirements and your best replacement option, speak to a member of our team today.

The cost of a new conservatory roof replacement can vary depending on the type of roof you currently have and the material you go for. There are lots of different options when it comes to replacing your conservatory roof, which can all impact the price. For a free, no-obligation quotation, speak to a member of our team today.

Glass roofs are suitable for new conservatories and as a replacement for an old polycarbonate or glass roof. In most cases, the existing conservatory structure should be able to support a glass roof, but on occasion, new framing, windows and doors might need to be fitted too.

Every home is different, meaning it’s hard to give an upfront cost of installing double glazing. Costs depend on different elements including style, size, fitting costs, non-standard shapes, handles, accessories, and what glass detailing options you choose.

Of course you can. All our products are showcased on our website, and you’re also more than welcome to visit our Northwich-based showroom, where a wide range of our windows, doors and replacement roof options will be on display.
