Single Doors
Single Doors
You will often see single doors used on smaller garden office designs. They can be positioned to maximise wall space for desks and storage. Commonly fully glazed single doors are used to let in light and create the same connection with the garden as their bigger counterparts. This Smart Garden Office showcases how a glazed single door.
As mentioned above, single doors can be mixed with fixed pane panels to create a cost-effective glazed wall.
We are seeing single doors being used in conjunction with bi-fold doors. The bi-folds creating the feature wall and the single door being for quick access into the room. This office by Executive Garden Rooms demonstrates how mixing a wall of glazing with an easy access door works.
Door Options For Partitioning Walls
Depending on how separate you want your partitioned areas to be, you can choose to have the spaces linked by an internal door or have it only accessible through a separate external door – or both!
Internal Doors:
Adding an internal door to your partition wall is a great way to keep the partitioned space more inclusive to the main “living space”. Internal doors allow you to quickly and easily access the second space, ideal for bathrooms or built-in storage cupboards.
External Doors:
External doors are perfect for creating and accessing spaces that you want completely isolated, such as a storage/shed section and the main living space.
Difference between a UPVC Door and Composite Door
Composite Doors
As its name suggest, a composite door is produced from more than one material. It’s actually hardwood at the core, with a PVC sub-frame and a uPVC outer frame (which is reinforced with galvanized steel for extra sturdiness). The combination of these ingredients leads to a rigid and sturdy door while a foam core leads to better insulation and a glass-reinforced plastic grained surface makes it more resistant to becoming dented or easily scratched. Meanwhile, it’s worth mentioning here that composite doors are 48mm doors – 10 per cent thicker than our nearest competitors, making them amongst the strongest on the market right now!
Meanwhile, as well as providing super-effective security for your garden room, a composite door will also remain looking good for longer. Rest-assured the colour of your door won’t fade or the shade alter – even despite the often-harsh British weather. The end result is a door which is solid, secure and easy to maintain. It should also last your for around 35 years.
Upvc Doors
If you opt for a uPVC door, then you will have a one which consists of an insulated steel frame inside a casing of un-plasticized polyvinyl chloride (uPVC). This gives the door it’s thermal properties, as well as making it a sturdy and effective choice for any front door. Slightly thinner than a composite door, this type of door is nevertheless also easy to maintain; simply wipe over with a damp cloth if need be. You can expect to have your uPVC door for around 25 years – a decade less than the composite.
The main advantage of a uPVC door over its more contemporary composite equivalent though is the fact that it’s less expensive to buy – you could save as much as 50 per cent by opting for a uPVC door over a composite door. Another advantage of this type of door is the choice of design. More likely chosen for a back rather than a front door, a uPVC door can consist of a full panel or half panel of double glazing which means more light can flood into your kitchen area. This is a great compromise if the room is rather gloomy, making it a must for narrow galley kitchens in particular.
