At Lifestyle Windows, we’re always looking for ways to bring homeowners in the East Midlands the very best products for their homes. That’s why we’re delighted to introduce Residence Doors to our collection. Already well known for the popularity of the Residence windows, this new range of doors brings the same combination of timeless style and modern performance.
These timber-alternative doors look every bit as elegant as traditional wooden joinery but come with the practical benefits of uPVC. They are designed to suit a wide range of properties across the UK, from cottages and period homes to new builds and city apartments. With a range of styles and colours to choose from, every door can be tailored to suit your home.
In this blog, we’ll take a closer look at what makes the Residence door collection unique, the styles available, and why they’re already proving popular.
What Makes Residence Doors Unique?
Traditional Look with Modern Materials
The Residence Collection doors have been created to give the authentic period look of timber doors, right down to details such as dummy butt hinges and deep timber-style rails. At the same time, they’re built with uPVC door sashes that offer strength and reliability.
Energy Efficiency
With 28mm double glazing or 44mm triple glazing available, Residence doors achieve impressive thermal performance. U-values as low as 0.8 (with triple glazing) mean they help keep heat inside during winter while stopping excess warmth in summer. For any homeowner thinking about energy efficiency, these doors can make a real difference to comfort and running costs.
Built For Security
Security is always a priority, especially for main access points like a front door. Every door in the collection comes with multi-point locking systems and has been tested to PAS 24 standards. Strong frames, durable hardware, and the option of reinforced profiles give peace of mind that your home is well protected.
Designed to Suit Your Home
The real beauty of the Residence door collection is its flexibility. With complementary profiles to match Residence windows, your installation can have consistent sightlines across the whole property. And with the option of sidelights, glazing bars, or decorative panels, you can let in more natural light while keeping the look you want.
A Wide Range of Styles
There’s no such thing as a one-size-fits-all door, and the Residence collection doors have been designed with this in mind. Here are the key styles available.
Single Doors
A simple single door can be tailored in countless ways. Whether you want a back or side entrance, you can choose from solid panels for privacy or glazed designs to bring in daylight. Every detail, from the hardware to the finish, can be adjusted to suit your home.
Open-Out Flush Doors
Open-out flush doors are built with a dedicated sash that sits level with the frame, creating a true “flush” appearance inside and out. This design mirrors the look of traditional timber joinery, but with the strength and practicality of modern uPVC.
These doors can be fitted with working or dummy butt hinges to complete the authentic detailing and can be configured with glass panels or solid sections depending on your preference. The flush design is particularly popular in period properties, but it also provides a sleek, understated look that works well in modern homes.
Entrance Doors
Your front door is the first thing people see when visiting your home, so it plays a big role in creating a lasting impression. A Residence entrance door gives you the chance to combine that statement look with reliable everyday performance.
There’s a wide range of styles and colours to choose from, whether you prefer a bold black, softer tones like Chalk White, or natural finishes such as English Oak and Golden Oak. Designs can be configured with sidelights to let in more light, decorative glazing for character, or Georgian bars for a more traditional feel. Thanks to the engineered sash and frame, larger door sizes are also possible without compromising on stability.
And because it’s your home’s main point of entry, security is vital. Every Residence entrance door comes with multi-point locking systems and durable hardware, giving you peace of mind that your home is safe as well as stylish.
French Doors
Few doors add charm to a home like Residence Collection French doors. Opening out onto a garden or patio, they bring in plenty of natural light and create a sense of openness. Whether fitted in a cottage or a more modern property, they provide elegance, practicality, and comfort. Add sidelights if you want an even brighter space, or choose a solid bar design if you prefer a more traditional touch.
