Composite doors in Holland Park

Around Holland Park you will mostly find Victorian stucco villas, large terraced houses and converted flats. Victorian and Edwardian front doors often had four panels and a glazed top section, and composite designs can recreate that with matching letterplates and knockers.

Composite doors are a popular choice for maisonettes with their own street entrance, but doors onto communal corridors must meet the building's fire door requirements. For Georgian homes in conservation areas, a six-panel composite door in a heritage colour can work, but some councils insist on timber for front doors.

The Holland Park Conservation Area covers much of the neighbourhood, and the Royal Borough expects replacements on street-facing elevations to match the originals closely. At the back of a house there is often more freedom, which is where slim aluminium sliding or bifold doors onto the garden tend to work well. Holland Park Avenue itself carries heavy traffic, so we often suggest acoustic glazing for front rooms.

Composite doors combine a solid insulated core with a tough, weather-resistant outer skin, giving the look of a painted timber door with very little upkeep. They suit homeowners wanting a strong, attractive front door, with a choice of styles, colours, glass and hardware for traditional and modern homes.
