Choosing the Perfect Door to Match Your Home Shouldn’t Be Hard

With robust build quality, beautiful detailing, and tonnes of customisation, Comp Doors tick every box for performance and personality.
Cottage Vibes
Brampton, Cornwall, Norfolk – for cosy, character-filled homes
Cottages and period properties deserve doors with personality. These styles deliver heritage charm without any of the old-school maintenance:
- Brampton: Vertical grooves and a solid plank feel—ideal for rural and rustic homes.
- Cornwall: Elegant glazing and soft curves bring a storybook feel.
- Norfolk: Minimalist but classic, with wood-effect detailing that adds subtle texture.
Pair these styles with Chartwell Green, Cotswold Cream, or Duck Egg Blue for that timeless English country look. Add a pewter knocker and heritage letterplate, and you’ve got yourself a door that looks like it belongs in a postcard.
Modern Flair
Rutland, Abercorn, York – sleek designs for urban spaces
If your home is all clean lines and sharp finishes, these modern styles are made for you:
- Rutland: Strong vertical glazing that creates visual interest and lets in light.
- Abercorn: A centre-glazed design that balances symmetry and style.
- York: Crisp, geometric panels bring a bold yet refined edge.
Go bold with Anthracite Grey, Platinum Grey, or even Zinc Yellow for something statement-making. Match with stainless steel pull handles and minimalist letterplates to really double down on the designer feel.
Traditional Looks
Whitmore, Elmhurst, Highbury – timeless elegance and balance
For homes with history, these doors bring period elegance without compromising on performance:
- Whitmore: A stately two-panel design with a generous glazed section.
- Elmhurst: A classic four-panel look, just like the original Victorian and Edwardian styles.
- Highbury: No glazing, just solid charm—great for privacy and presence.
These look stunning in Burgundy, Midnight Blue, or Heritage Green. Complete the aesthetic with chrome knobs, lion knockers, and antique-style letterplates.
Colour Confidence
Find your perfect match (or contrast)
With Comp Doors, you’re not limited to a handful of standard colours. There’s a full palette of heritage shades, neutrals, and bold tones—plus the ability to choose a different colour inside and out.
Chartwell Green
Classic and calming, perfect for period homes and countryside retreats.
Agate Grey
A contemporary favourite that brings a soft, muted edge to modern properties.
Duck Egg Blue
Gentle and welcoming—a great choice for family homes and coastal vibes.
Anthracite Grey
Sleek and sophisticated, this is the top pick for new builds and modern renovations.
Ruby Red, Mint Green, Zinc Yellow
For those who want to make a bold, personal statement at the front door.
Pro tip: You can match the colour of your door to your frame, or go bold and contrast the two. All accessories—from handles to hinges—can also be colour-coordinated.
Glazing & Hardware
It’s the details that make the door
Glass
Choose clear, satin, or decorative glazing to strike the perfect balance between style, light and privacy. Frosted panels are great for hallways, while clear glass brings light to darker entrances.
Hardware
Pick from a huge range of lever handles, stainless steel pull bars, heritage knockers (scroll, lion, ring), and matching letterplates and spyholes.
You can even go for matching hinges and hardware in chrome, black, gold or white—and yes, we can match them exactly to your door colour.

Why Choose Comp Door?
Let’s be honest—you’re spoilt for choice when it comes to front doors. But here’s why Comp Doors stand out:?
Timber Core
At the heart of every Comp Door is a solid timber core.
Unlike foam-filled or plastic alternatives, this robust core delivers enhanced structural strength and durability.
It also performs brilliantly in keeping warmth inside and cold air out, helping to lower your energy bills and reduce your home’s carbon footprint.
Plus, timber has natural insulating properties, making it a smart choice for year-round comfort.
SleekSkin™ Finish
The SleekSkin™ exterior is a game-changer. It’s a premium finish unique to Comp Doors that not only looks fantastic, but also stands up to the elements.
It resists warping, cracking, and bubbling—common issues with lesser-quality composites.
This skin also offers a uniform, ultra-smooth texture for a flawless appearance, available in a wide range of colours that won’t fade over time, even with constant UV exposure.
PAS24 Certified
Security isn’t just an afterthought—it’s built into every Comp Door.
PAS24 certification means the door has passed rigorous independent testing for resistance to forced entry, ensuring that it meets the highest standards of UK home security.
Combine this with high-spec locks and hinges, and you’ve got a front door that helps protect what matters most.
Weatherproofing
Say goodbye to draughts and leaks. Comp Doors feature advanced weather seals on both the inner and outer frame, creating a double barrier against the elements.
Whether it’s torrential rain, icy winds, or summer storms, these doors help keep your home warm, dry, and comfortable.
The materials used are also resistant to swelling and contraction, ensuring a consistent fit and finish no matter the season.
Fully Customisable
No two homes are the same—and your door shouldn’t be either.
With Comp Doors, you can tailor every detail: choose your favourite door style, colour (inside and out), decorative glazing, and your ideal handles, knockers, and letterplates.
You can even match the door and frame colours for a seamless look or create a bold contrast. It’s your door, your way.
Low Maintenance
Forget time-consuming upkeep.
Comp Doors are designed to look great with minimal effort. The tough outer skin resists marks, dirt, and weather wear, meaning all it needs is the occasional wipe with warm soapy water.
Unlike timber doors, there’s no need to paint, stain, or treat the surface. They stay looking fresh for years, with no extra work required.
