Front door
The upvc front door is adequate though it could be to a higher specification. I can see no justification in replacing it at the moment.
Back doors
The rear doors were single glazed and draughty so this was an area for improvement. I discussed the possibility of replacing the small panes with double glazing but no one seemed to think that a very satisfactory solution in terms of energy saving. Far better I was told, though I hate to waste a good pair of doors, was to get new ones. I bought some from a local company, expensive but the opening was not a regular size so they needed to be made to size. I was told the wood was from sustainable sources. The old doors found a happy home when I put them on freecycle.
