Premium Composite Front Door Replacement Completed in Fontmell Magna

Goldhill Glazing recently completed the installation of a new anthracite grey composite front door at a property in Fontmell Magna, a popular village located just north of Blandford Forum in Dorset.

The homeowner wanted to replace an ageing entrance door that was beginning to show signs of wear and was no longer providing the appearance, security and energy efficiency expected from a modern entrance system. After discussing several options, they chose a contemporary anthracite grey composite door with matching sidelights to maximise natural light within the entrance hall while creating a striking first impression from the outside.

The finished installation has transformed the front elevation of the property and provides improved security, thermal performance and kerb appeal.

Why Choose a Composite Door?

Composite doors continue to be one of the most popular choices for homeowners across Blandford Forum, Shaftesbury, Sturminster Newton, Gillingham and the wider Dorset area.

Unlike traditional timber doors, modern composite doors are designed to offer:

• Excellent thermal efficiency
• Enhanced security
• Low maintenance requirements
• Long-lasting colour stability
• Weather resistance
• Modern and traditional design options

For this Fontmell Magna property, the anthracite grey finish complements the brickwork perfectly while delivering a contemporary appearance that suits both modern and traditional Dorset homes.

The Customer’s Requirements

The homeowner contacted Goldhill Glazing looking for:

• A secure replacement front door
• Improved insulation
• More natural light in the entrance area
• A modern appearance
• A low-maintenance solution

Following a site survey, we recommended a composite door with full-height glazed sidelights. This design allows significantly more daylight into the property compared with a standard solid door while maintaining privacy and security.

The Installation Process

As with all Goldhill Glazing installations, the existing door and frame were carefully removed to avoid unnecessary disturbance to the surrounding brickwork.

The new composite door system was then installed and fully levelled before being securely fixed into position. Particular attention was paid to ensuring:

• Smooth door operation
• Correct compression on seals
• Accurate frame alignment
• Professional internal and external finishing
• Maximum weather protection

Once installed, all adjustments were checked and the property was left clean and tidy.

Benefits of This New Composite Door

Improved Security

Modern composite doors are designed with security in mind, incorporating multi-point locking systems and robust construction to help protect the property.

Better Energy Efficiency

The new door offers significantly improved insulation compared with older entrance doors, helping to reduce heat loss and improve comfort throughout the year.

Increased Natural Light

The addition of glazed sidelights creates a brighter entrance hall and makes the property feel more welcoming.

Enhanced Kerb Appeal

The anthracite grey finish creates a modern, premium appearance that instantly improves the look of the property.

Low Maintenance

Unlike timber alternatives, the composite door requires minimal upkeep and will continue looking its best for years to come.
