Triple glazed composite front doors in Penarth
From the first measure to the handover pack, we handle triple glazed composite front doors for homes in Penarth and the rest of South Glamorgan.
Insulated composite doors with triple glazed panels and PAS 24 locks. A composite front door has a solid insulated core, usually timber or foam, under a tough glass-reinforced plastic (GRP) skin, with a multi-point lock.
Winter light and glass choice in Penarth
By midsummer Penarth has about 16 h 38 min of daylight, but in December only around 7 h 50 min, with the noon sun at about 15°. Triple glazing keeps more heat in during those long, dark months; big south and west windows may suit solar-control glass for summer.

Rules for composite front doors in Wales
In Wales, replacement external doors must meet 1.4 W/m²K, or a door set energy rating of band C (more than 60% glazed) or band B (other doors). Replacement external doors fall under the same energy rules as windows: a competent person scheme installer self-certifies the work, or building control approves it.
Before ordering: Householder permitted development rules do not cover flats, and councils can remove rights with Article 4 directions. Listed buildings need listed building consent. Check with your council before changing the style or material of a front door.
How it works
The surveyor measures every opening, checks ventilation, escape windows and safety-glass zones, and talks through styles. Your written quote lists each item with its glass build-up and U-value, and the price is fixed for that specification.
- Every opening measured, including escape and vent needs
- Frames rated for the weight of triple glass
- Old windows removed and taken away
- Each opening closed up the same day
