What types of back doors are available?
Replacement Back doors are very similar to front doors in some respect, with their functionality and security elements being the same.
However, it is the aesthetics of the door that will differ from its front counterpart with back doors much more likely to feature glass.
The available construction materials of back doors are:
- Natural or engineered wood
- uPVC
- Composite
- Timber clad aluminium
Once you have chosen your preferred door material, you can then look into your glass and colour options, although it is worth noting that anything other than clear glass will come at an extra cost.
Glass options currently available for back doors include:
- Clear
- Coloured
- Leaded
- Frosted
- Toughened
- Laminated
- Solar controlled
- Low-emissivity
It is also worth noting that whichever glass option you choose for your replacement back door, they should be either double or triple glazed, both for energy efficiency and for security purposes.
How much does a back door cost?
Of course, this will be dependant on your choices in regards to the above door materials and glass options. That being said, it is always a good idea to have a rough estimate in mind before you start looking.
The most popular option in the UK is a uPVC back door (762mm x 1981mm) which costs an estimated:
2 panel top glazed in white = £650-£700
2 panel top glazed in black = £900-£950
Cottage door, mid rail in uPVC oak effect = £900-£950
Alternatively, you might want to invest in a composite back door (762mm x 1981mm) which are known for their strength, security, and attractive appearance:
4 panel composite door in white = £540-£600
4 panel composite door in black = £600-£650
4 panel composite door in red = £850-£1,150
However, if you are wanting to create a more rural vibe in your home, then you may want to look into getting a wooden door, but be warned that bespoke hardwood back doors can be expensive.
Solid oak staple door = From £900
