24 Sep Why are 65mm Palladio doors so in-demand these days?

You might already have the best double-glazed windows money can buy. But if your front door is thin or does not have proper insulation, your home will still be cold in the middle of winter. That means you have to rely on your heating system just to keep things comfortable inside your home.

And with utility bills getting more expensive every year, more and more people are looking at ways to keep their homes warm without using the heating system all day long. This is exactly why Palladio composite doors are becoming so popular with homeowners. 

Thinner doors can be a problem.

Many of the older uPVC or timber doors are only about 40 to 44 millimetres thick. That is barely enough material to stop the cold wind outside from getting into your warm living room.

Over time, the frame around a thin door like that can start to twist or bend, and the rubber seals around the edge can stop working properly. Soon, you could be dealing with draughts, and your heating bill may start increasing too.

What makes the Palladio door better?

Palladio doors are some of the strongest and most energy-efficient composite doors available anywhere in the UK. The first thing that makes these doors different from the rest is their thick 65mm construction. Compared to a regular 44mm door, the extra 20+mm adds a lot more insulation to the door.

But the Palladio door is not simply a thicker version of other composite doors in Cardiff.

Most composite doors on the market are made using different layers glued together. Palladio doors, on the other hand, are made using a single-piece build called a “monocoque” structure. Because the door is made from one solid shell, it becomes much stronger and less likely to get damaged over time, even with daily use and bad weather.

And if you like the idea of having some glass in your front door, the glass panels in Palladio doors are triple-glazed by default. Compared to the regular double-glazed glass, that is one more layer of insulation to keep the cold out of your home.

There is even more to like about these doors.

Because of its strong construction, a Palladio door also gives you some of the best home security you can get in a front door. It comes with strong multi-point locks that make forced entry extremely difficult. 

You can also have peace of mind that your door will last long because every single Palladio door installed by Affordable Quality Windows (AQW) comes with a full 10-year guarantee. And of course, you can choose from a wide range of colours, different glass designs, and stylish handles or hardware to match your taste.
