This beautiful Apeer 70 Rowton green mist front door with sidelight adds a touch of nature and tranquillity to a semi-detached property located a stone’s throw from Lightwater Country Park.
The Lightwater homeowners have been customers of Thames Valley Windows since 1998 when we installed the existing Rosewood front door and side panel. Over time, it had become less secure, and a draught was coming through, so it was no longer energy efficient.
Our client’s brief was to upgrade their double-glazed Rosewood front door with a similar style door but with improved security performance and thermal efficiency whilst retaining an air of traditional elegance.
Our designer, Chris, called the Lightwater homeowner to discuss their project and arrange an appointment at our Bracknell showroom to view the range of uPVC, Aluminium, timber, and composite front doors we have on display.
The Apeer 70 traditional composite front door is finished in calming, natural green mist on the exterior and white to match the interior decor, creating a light and bright hallway.
The two glass panels and sidelight feature B0508 leaded minster glass, an intricately detailed classic style that allows natural light to flow into the hallway.
Apeer offers two colour options: standard and premium colour palettes. Green Mist is from Apeer’s premium colour range.
To complement the green mist front door, the Lightwater homeowner chose satin silver door furniture, including a traditional scroll knocker, lever handle and letterbox.
We also installed a smooth white door frame that subtly contrasts the door’s nature-inspired Green mist colour and creates a focal point.
A green front door is a popular choice for traditional or cottage-style properties, but it is more than just a design choice. The colour carries symbolism and psychological impact.
Green represents growth, harmony, and tranquillity. It’s a colour often associated with nature, creating a welcoming and harmonious entrance.
Given that security was a priority for the Lightwater homeowners, we could meet their requirements with an energy-efficient PAS24 Secured by Design Apeer 70 composite door.
The PAS24 standard is a minimum requirement for the UK’s external doors and windows security.
If an external door is certified to PAS24, its production has been monitored and tested by a UKAS-accredited certification body to ensure compliance with a series of tests.
These tests guarantee that your PAS24 external meets building regulations and provides the minimum security required for your home.
Apeers PAS24 testing combines security with style. High-security features fitted as standard: triple-glazed, double rebated, anti-snap, anti-pick, anti-bump, anti-drill and cylinder lock barrels
Their triple-glazed composite entrance doors are available in various designs and finishes to enhance a building’s aesthetic appeal.
Every Apeer 70 entrance door is manufactured with exceptional craftsmanship and an authentic wood grain finish that emulates the appearance of timber.
Apeer composite doors are 60% thicker than other composite doors on the market and exceed all industry-standard impact and cut-through tests.
It is manufactured with Toughened, triple glazing housed in reinforced mouldings, a GRP and steel reinforced door sash, a double rebated construction of 7 layers of interwoven fibreglass skins for enhanced strength and durability, and virtually airtight seals that will protect you and your home from intruders.
