Front door with decorative panel

From realistic wood effects to varied colours, we supply a range of front doors with decorative panels.

A decorative reinforced panel is inserted into the sash of the uPVC door (instead of the glazed unit).

All panels are available as a solid panel or with plain or decorative glazing designs. The panels are also available in various woodgrains and a choice of whites to match the most door frame profiles.

You can complete the look of your panel doors with our unique range of accessories which include letterboxes, door knockers, spy holes and numerals in a variety of styles and finishes.

French doors

A versatile option to allow more light into a property with a much bigger opening than a standard door.

Typical French door designs have both sashes opening outwards.  Things to decide would be which door should open first, the colour and type of profiles, the number and colour of handles, the door threshold required and if door restrictors are required.

Key Features
  • Double opening sashes
  • Handle on each door with a paired alike cylinder
  • Double doors only can be made up to 2000 mm wide, however, side panels are available
  • Restrictors to hold open available on request

Bifold doors

Bifold doors are great for opening out a room to the garden or a beautiful vista, allowing maximum light into the property. Most bifold doors would consist of three to five panels, with all the sashes opening outwards and sliding towards one side. However, we provide other opening designs as well.

From our experience, we recommend using an aluminium door as they are less likely to expand and contract in the sunlight and therefore less likely to require adjustment in the future.

Key Features
  • uPVC sashes joined together to make a very wide opening
  • Open inwards or outwards
  • Wide range of colours
  • Not as robust as Aluminium Bifold doors

Patio / Sliding doors

Sliding doors allow a great deal of light into a room without the hassle of opening doors into furniture or blocking a passage, also when closed the visible profile is less than a french or bi-fold door making them perfect for a room with a view.
Key Features
  • Available in a chamfered or fully sculptured uPVC
  • Range of colours available
  • Range of door and fixed pane combinations available
    • One slider and one fixed sash
    • One slider and a fixed sash either side
    • Two central panes slide and two fixed sashes outside
  • Sliding pane runs on rollers passed a fixed pane
  • Inside to outside profile thickness is 110 mm
  • Not suited to narrower opening as the door can not slide all the way passed the fixed sash

Tilt and slide Doors

The ideal solution if you have no other opening window in a room and require both a door and an opening window.
Tilt and slide doors are more practical than a standard sliding door however they cost significantly more and have a slight design flaw. The mechanism can over a time break and the doors may fall inwards. We don’t normally recommend these as an option but if you are interested they are available.
Key Features
  • Opening sash tilts first held with two arms at the top of the door
  • Second handle position allows the sash to be pulled out on the bottom runner
  • Door sash can be slid fully open for access
  • No handle available on the outside

Standard Foiled Colours
Standard Foiled Colours

Standard Foiled profile options available off the shelf at the same lead time as the white uPVC and most trims and silicones are kept in stock, these are the best options if you are looking for a distinctive colour design. Standard colours are;

  • Standard white uPVC (described as a blue white)
  • Foiled products – Rosewood, Golden Oak, Black (Beck Brown), Irish Oak on white, White Foil on white, Cream (Ivory) on white, Anthracite Grey on white, Anthracite Grey on Grey and Chartwell Green on white
Colour Variations

Veka Colour Variations are available for those projects where the colour has to be just right.  See out the range of colours Veka Profile Colour Chart

As a general rule if you are looking for a small number of items in a colour these might be spray-painted however this can fade and scratch.

The better option is to have Renolit supply a batch of foil (as with all standard foils) to coat the uPVC for your project, this will provide your chosen colour in a form that will last. However, there is an increased lead time and cost for this process.
