This article was published on February 1, 2022
Many of you will have been unaware that front doors go through trends as it’s not a frequent purchase such as trousers or coats, but door designs do follow patterns of popularity. Whilst you may not be one of those people who needs to be on trend, taking guidance on what styles are in favour can have a lasting impact on the value of your home.
Bright, bold colours have been a big trend over the last couple of years and this seems set to continue. It’s a sure way of adding kerb appeal to your home, making it warm and inviting to visitors, and will add a smile to your face on those grey days.
If you’re unsure on whether to brave the bold, have a drive around your local area to see what your neighbours have chosen; you’ll probably find your eyes are diverted to the more colourful doors.
Here at ERW, we have over 150 colours to choose from so you’ll be sure to find your perfect match. You can find our colour chart here.
Opting for a wider front door adds a sense of grandeur to your entrance and is set to be a big trend this year. An added bonus of wider doors is the end of the struggle of moving furniture in and out of your home.
Would you like a wider entrance but would rather stick to a standard size door? Installing large glass sidelights is another way to add width and will flood your hallway with natural light.
Choosing the style of door is just one part of renovating your entrance way; lead detailing and ironmongery also need to be considered to ensure the end result matches your style and specifications. This is where you can be really creative and stamp your personality on your entrance.
Lead Detailing
Whether you opt for a traditional style, more contemporary design or a bespoke composition one thing is certain: lead detailing will be on trend for many years to come. Adding coloured glass adds interest and warmth, whilst choosing clear glass with lead detail can really add an impact to your entrance.
Ironmongery
We recommend choosing the best quality handle, knocker and letterbox to maximise the aesthetics of your door. With regards to what’s on trend, it really is down to the style of door you choose. More modern styled doors suit contemporary handles, whereas door knobs are on trend for more traditional styled doors
As we’re all becoming more aware of the impact of plastics on the environment, a big trend set to stay is opting for sustainable materials. People are looking to purchase products which have a low carbon footprint and that can be recycled; the solution for this, with regards to doors and windows, is choosing timber.
Timber doors produce less CO2 emissions in the manufacturing process compared to its uPVC counterpart and, with correct maintenance, lasts much longer too. When the time comes that your door does need replacing, if you’re still around (wooden doors can last over 65 years if maintained properly) you can recycle it.
Here at ERW, we take sustainability seriously. We only use sustainably sourced European Redwood, and any waste produced is used in heating our workshop to try to reduce our carbon footprint.

First class service from sales through to completion. A top quality product, fitted by a highly professional team in an efficient, timely and very tidy process. We would have no hesitation in recommending ERW to friends and family
Mr & Mrs R, Linthorpe
Having just recently had wooden windows installed by your company, I would like to thank you for the professional and efficient service you provided. From my initial phone call to ERW through quotation and survey it all went very smoothly. I congratulate you on your work force who were all polite, punctual, reliable, tidy, helpful, considerate and very hard working. A CREDIT TO ERW! Needless to say I am delighted with my new windows and would not hesitate to recommend ERW to anyone who wants to deal with a professional family run firm.
Mrs B, Wolviston, Billingham
A superb job! We’re really delighted with all our new windows. We’d like to thank ERW very much.
The installation team of Craig, Aarron and Joe were very professional, worked well together and got on with the job efficiently to complete everything ahead of time. They were very polite and communicated well with us about the job in hand and the time scale, and we were impressed that they cleared up so well each day before leaving. We would like to thank them for all their workmanship, advice, help and good humour.
The quality of the items made off-site was very high. The 7 windows look really good, they operate well and the finish is excellent. Hopefully, next winter’s gas and electricity bills will show the benefit.
From our initial contact with Stuart and our visit to the showroom, through the technical survey by Andy and the co-ordination by Sophie and Jeff, to the final installation, we’re more than happy with the whole process. We’re so pleased that we chose ERW for our continuing efforts at improving our 115-year-old home. We will certainly come back for the final stage of work on our windows in due course.
Mr and Mrs C, Darlington
