    I need to replace my front door but have no idea where to look or how much it will cost. Anyone got any recommendations or advice?

    I'm not too bothered whether it is wood or uPVC but budget is a big issue!

    The Yellow Pages is still a great search engine for that kind of thing. The paper version that is..

    I'd go for wood myself. It would appear that the flexibility of PVC front doors makes levering them open something of a doddle.

    High strength and thermal composite front georgian door.

    Profile Developments in Limerick supplied it



    Or brand new UPVC doors for sale on Donedeal.

    I got a new UPVC door for my garage for 300 euro off a door/window retailer for 300 euro.That was 5 months ago now.

    He still advertizes on Donedeal and has his place in Straffan in Killdare.

    Good make of door and excellect fit too.:D

    The steel inserted into the frame, the newer multi-point locking systems, and higher quality hinges make more modern PVC doors extremely durable rigid, and most importantly, secure.

    I'd recommend asking a few different suppliers (timber, pvc, composite) for prices and specifications, that way you can directly compare your options.

    Incidentally, pvc door wont need much maintenance (a wipe with a cloth every so often)
