Is it time to upgrade your home’s exterior doors? Door designs have changed significantly over the years and your home may not be receiving the thermal performance and security that it deserves.

If your doors are looking a little outdated or are no longer performing at their best, opting for one of these popular exterior doors could be the perfect solution.

‌The experts here at Jewel specialise in contemporary door designs, and we are sharing some of the most popular exterior doors on the market today.

‌Keep reading to discover the best doors for your home and learn which door designs are trending this autumn.

Glass Doors

‌A glass door installation can transform your home in many different ways. With energy efficient glazing and insulated frames, modern glass doors are designed to prevent heat loss and provide effective temperature regulation all year round.

‌There are many glass door styles available on the market today, and each design has its own benefits and drawbacks. One particular profile we have seen soaring in popularity over recent years is the aluminium bifold door. These large glass doors create gorgeous panoramic views and encourage more natural light into your living space.

‌Patio doors are another glass door that never seems to go out of style. With large panels of energy efficient glazing and a strong uPVC or aluminium frame, patio doors are built to last and are a popular home improvement project for autumn.

‌We are also noticing homeowners opting for entrance doors that feature some glazing in the design. Contemporary composite doors with different glass panel shapes or large sections of decorative glazing are a popular choice as they have a unique appearance while also benefiting from added energy efficiency.

If you choose to enhance your home with a glass door installation this winter, make sure you choose a product that meets the following criteria:

• Energy efficient glazing
• Manufactured with strong high-grade materials
• Built with a secure locking system
• Includes effective weather proofing

Traditional Style

While there are many homeowners opting for contemporary door styles and designs, the rustic look is also making a comeback. Where patio and bifold doors blend interior and exterior spaces, traditional barn or stable style doors allow for increased ventilation and light – but in a more subtle way.

Swinging stable doors are starting to crop up in homes across the country again, bringing with them vintage charm and character. If you want to switch your existing exterior door for a model that offers enhanced thermal performance and security, you can do so while also achieving a more traditional aesthetic.

There are also many timber replica doors available on the market today. Often made from durable and robust materials, these doors feature a woodgrain finish and are designed to closely mimic the appearance of a solid wooden door. Unlike traditional timber models, modern doors perform better when it comes to home security, weather protection and heat regulation.

Earthy Tones

‌Over recent years, we have seen bright and bold exterior doors grow in popularity, and while this is still a popular door trend, earthy tones are starting to fall back into favour too. There is a timeless appeal to the wooden door aesthetic; bright door colour trends come and go, but the natural aesthetic rarely goes out of fashion.

‌We have seen many exterior doors recently in earthy shades such as deep greens, rich browns and tranquil blues. If you are considering decorating your porch for autumn, a new entrance door in a natural shade will make the perfect backdrop for your leaf wreath, hanging lanterns and pumpkins!

Energy Efficient Designs

Winter is just around the corner, and upgrading your windows and doors is the perfect way to maximise your home’s thermal performance. With the current cost of living crisis and expensive energy costs, more and more homeowners are investing in energy efficient exterior doors.

Keep your home warm this winter by choosing a door that is built with thermally efficient materials and has been tested to withstand the worst weather conditions. There are many energy efficient doors available on the market today, most of which perfectly combines an attractive design with effective weather proofing.

If you want to keep your heating bills down this winter, hop on this autumn exterior door trend and invest in an energy efficient door installation.
