The UK’s most popular choice of entrance door is now the composite door, with 40% of homeowners choosing this option. Its popularity means it is always worthwhile looking at ways to add value to the sale. Chantel Roach, Marketing Director at the UK’s largest composite door supplier, Distinction Doors, says that one of the best ways to do this is with composite sidelights. “Many houses’ entrances have sidelights. Introducing homeowners to the possibility of being able to replace these at the same as the door provides an excellent upselling opportunity.”

Distinction’s sidelights will help homeowners to create a beautiful design statement and a uniform look. The sidelights have Distinction’s trademark authentic woodgrain finish and meticulous attention to detail. They are available to match Distinction’s Esteem, Esteem Arch, Esteem Eyebrow and Classical Half Glaze doors and homeowners can choose from the full range of colour options and glass design so they can get exactly the suited look they want.

But it isn’t just the sidelights’ looks that will appeal to homeowners. By replacing the sidelights at the same time as the door they’ll be further enhancing the thermal efficiency benefits of their purchase: independent tests have shown Distinction’s door to be up to 19% more efficient than other doors. They will also be improving security because, like the doors themselves, the sidelights are constructed from a rigid polymer subframe, a high density CFC-free polyurethane foam core and a high impact resistant GRP skin.

Chantel concludes, “There are lots of ways to add value to a sale whether it’s bespoke colours or enclosed blinds. But for me, sidelights are an easy add-on because they finish an entrance off beautifully. And which homeowner doesn’t want that?”
