Types of Entrance Doors We Install and Replace
uPVC Entrance Doors
uPVC Entrance Doors
uPVC entrance doors combine durable, low-maintenance frames with insulated panels to provide practical access for traditional houses, modern homes and residential renovations. Reinforced profiles improve structural stability, while multi-point locking systems and weather-resistant seals help protect against draughts and unauthorised entry. Available in white, woodgrain and contemporary coloured finishes, these doors accommodate decorative glazing, letterboxes and different handle styles. Bowalker installs and replaces uPVC entrance doors with accurately aligned frames, secure locking hardware and carefully sealed thresholds for reliable daily operation.
Learn More →Aluminium Entrance Doors
Aluminium Entrance Doors
Slim architectural profiles and durable powder-coated finishes make aluminium entrance doors suitable for contemporary houses, modern developments and properties requiring a distinctive front entrance. Their rigid construction supports glazed panels, larger door dimensions and a wide selection of RAL colours without bulky framing. Thermally broken profiles help limit heat transfer, while compatible security hardware strengthens the entrance. Our in-house installers fit aluminium entrance doors with precise frame positioning, properly adjusted hinges, multi-point locking systems and weather-resistant perimeter seals.
Learn More →Timber Entrance Doors
Timber Entrance Doors
Natural wood grain, traditional panel detailing and custom finishes give timber entrance doors a distinctive appearance suited to period properties, country homes and contemporary residences. Depending on the design, hardwood or engineered timber construction provides structural strength, with insulated glazing and protective coatings supporting thermal performance and weather resistance. Homeowners can select painted finishes, decorative glass, traditional ironmongery and bespoke panel arrangements. Bowalker installs and replaces timber entrance doors with carefully fitted frames, suitable hinges, secure locking hardware and effective draught seals.
Learn More →Steel Entrance Doors
Steel Entrance Doors
Steel entrance doors use rigid metal construction to provide a durable entry system for buildings where security, frequent use and structural strength are priorities. Reinforced door leaves, secure locking hardware and protective coatings make these doors suitable for commercial premises, communal entrances and selected residential applications. Insulated cores and thermally separated components may improve thermal performance depending on the system. Steel entrance door fitting requires accurate frame anchoring, hinge alignment, appropriate threshold detailing and reliable locking adjustment to support secure daily operation.
Learn More →Composite Entrance Doors
Composite Entrance Doors
Composite entrance doors combine insulating cores, reinforced construction and durable outer skins to provide secure, weather-resistant entrances with relatively little maintenance. GRP-faced designs replicate traditional timber textures while offering resistance to moisture, warping and everyday wear. Traditional panelled, cottage-style and contemporary slab designs are available with decorative glazing, coordinated hardware and various colour finishes. Bowalker's in-house team installs and replaces composite entrance doors using precisely measured frames, secure multi-point locking systems, adjustable hinges and weathertight seals.
Learn More →Internal Glazed Entrance Doors
Internal Glazed Entrance Doors
Internal glazed entrance doors feature clear or safety-rated glass panels within framed door systems, allowing daylight to pass between entrance halls, vestibules and adjoining interior spaces. Full-height glazing creates an open appearance, while partially glazed designs provide greater visual separation and privacy. Timber, aluminium and other compatible frame materials offer different architectural finishes. For these internal entrance configurations, Bowalker's fitting approach involves accurate frame measurements, correctly specified safety glazing, secure hinges and properly aligned door hardware to support smooth operation.
Learn More →Solar Glass Entrance Doors
Solar Glass Entrance Doors
Solar glass entrance doors incorporate specialised coatings that reduce solar heat gain while maintaining useful natural daylight through glazed panels. Particularly suited to south- and west-facing entrances, large glazed doorways and sun-exposed properties, these systems help limit unwanted indoor heating and glare. Solar control glazing may be combined with insulating glass units to support thermal performance throughout the year. Bowalker's entrance door fitting involves suitable glazing specifications, accurately positioned frames, weather-resistant seals and secure locking hardware for dependable exterior use.
Learn More →Acoustic Glass Entrance Doors
Acoustic Glass Entrance Doors
Laminated acoustic glass contains sound-dampening interlayers that reduce noise transmission through glazed entrance door panels. These configurations suit homes near busy roads, railway lines and other sources of external noise where a quieter entrance hallway is desirable. Acoustic performance depends on glass thickness, interlayer composition, sealed glazing construction and the surrounding door system. Bowalker fits acoustic glazed entrance configurations with appropriately specified glass units, continuous perimeter seals, accurate frame alignment and secure closing mechanisms to help limit sound leakage around the entrance.
Learn More →Obscure Glass Entrance Doors
Obscure Glass Entrance Doors
Obscure glass entrance doors provide privacy through textured or frosted glazing that restricts clear views into the property while admitting natural light. They are particularly practical for street-facing front entrances, overlooked hallways and homes positioned close to neighbouring properties. Different obscurity levels, glazing patterns and panel arrangements allow homeowners to balance privacy with interior brightness. Bowalker's in-house installers fit obscure glazed entrance doors using suitable sealed glass units, securely positioned glazing beads, accurately aligned frames and weather-resistant perimeter seals.
Learn More →Patterned Glass Entrance Doors
Patterned Glass Entrance Doors
Decorative glazing featuring geometric motifs, traditional leaded effects or textured patterns gives entrance doors a distinctive appearance while controlling visibility into the hallway. Patterned glass complements Victorian-inspired entrances, cottage properties and modern door designs, depending on the selected motif and panel arrangement. Glazing may feature decorative films, textured surfaces or designs incorporated within sealed units. Bowalker installs patterned glass entrance doors with carefully positioned decorative panels, compatible glazing specifications, secure framing and weather-resistant seals to preserve both appearance and everyday functionality.
Learn More →Astragal Bar Entrance Doors
Astragal Bar Entrance Doors
Astragal bars create the appearance of individually divided glass panes by applying decorative glazing bars across entrance door panels. Traditional Georgian grids, Victorian-inspired arrangements and contemporary black-framed designs suit different property styles without requiring separate small glazing units. Surface-mounted bars can be paired with internal spacer bars to provide greater visual depth. Bowalker fits entrance doors featuring astragal detailing with accurately positioned bar layouts, suitable sealed glazing, coordinated frame finishes and secure door hardware to complement existing windows and architectural features.
Learn More →Triple Glazed Entrance Doors
Triple Glazed Entrance Doors
Three panes of glass separated by two insulating cavities form the glazing units used in triple glazed entrance doors. This construction helps reduce heat transfer through glazed areas and may improve sound insulation, depending on the complete glazing specification. Triple glazing suits entrances with substantial glass panels, exposed frontages and properties prioritising thermal performance. Bowalker installs compatible triple glazed entrance systems with frames and hinges suited to the additional glass weight, accurately fitted glazing units, secure locking arrangements and continuous weather seals.
Learn More →Toughened Glass Entrance Doors
Toughened Glass Entrance Doors
Toughened glass entrance doors incorporate heat-treated safety glazing designed to withstand greater impact than ordinary annealed glass. When broken, toughened glass fractures into relatively small granular pieces, reducing the risk associated with large sharp shards. Clear, obscure and decorative options allow safety glazing to complement different entrance designs. Bowalker fits toughened glazed entrance doors using appropriately specified safety glass, secure glazing beads, accurately aligned frames and compatible locking hardware, with glazing selected for the relevant safety requirements.
Learn More →Satin Glass Entrance Doors
Satin Glass Entrance Doors
Satin glass entrance doors use finely etched glazing surfaces to create a smooth, translucent appearance that softens incoming daylight while restricting direct visibility. Their understated finish complements minimalist aluminium frames, contemporary composite doors and traditional entrances requiring greater privacy. Unlike decorative patterned glazing, satin glass provides a relatively uniform appearance across the panel, with privacy depending on the glass specification. Bowalker installs satin glazed entrance doors with suitable sealed units, securely fitted glazing panels, weather-resistant seals and coordinated door hardware.
Learn More →Sliding Entrance Doors
Sliding Entrance Doors
Sliding entrance doors use large glazed panels that move horizontally along a guided track, providing convenient access without requiring the clearance of a swinging door. Their space-saving operation suits contemporary entrances, garden-facing access points, commercial frontages and properties with restricted opening space. Aluminium, uPVC and compatible timber systems offer different frame profiles and finishes. Bowalker installs and replaces sliding entrance doors with accurately levelled tracks, correctly adjusted rollers, secure locking mechanisms and weather-resistant thresholds for smooth daily movement.
Learn More →Bifold Entrance Doors
Bifold Entrance Doors
Multiple hinged panels connected through a guided folding mechanism allow bifold entrance doors to open across wider access points while stacking neatly to one or both sides. These configurations suit glazed rear entrances, large residential openings and contemporary commercial spaces where flexible access and ventilation are priorities. Available frame materials include aluminium, timber and uPVC, with suitable safety glazing and locking options. Bowalker installs bifold entrance doors using accurately aligned tracks, adjustable hinges, secure locking points and properly sealed thresholds.
Learn More →French Entrance Doors
French Entrance Doors
French entrance doors feature two hinged leaves that open from a central meeting point, creating a wider entrance than a conventional single door. Traditional timber designs complement period properties, while aluminium and uPVC configurations suit contemporary homes and glazed entrance arrangements. Depending on the design, one leaf operates independently while the other remains secured with suitable bolts. Bowalker's in-house team installs and replaces French entrance doors with properly aligned hinges, reinforced frames, secure multi-point locking hardware and weathertight seals around both leaves.
Learn More →Commercial Entrance Doors
Commercial Entrance Doors
Commercial entrance doors provide secure, practical access for offices, retail premises, professional buildings and communal entrances where regular pedestrian movement influences door selection. Aluminium, steel and suitable glazed systems offer different levels of structural strength, visibility, insulation and maintenance requirements. Door specifications depend on opening dimensions, access arrangements, usage frequency and applicable building requirements. Bowalker's commercial entrance fitting involves careful frame positioning, compatible access hardware, suitable safety glazing, threshold alignment and operational checks appropriate to the selected system.
Learn More →Residential Entrance Doors
Residential Entrance Doors
Residential entrance doors provide secure access to houses, flats and other domestic properties while contributing to thermal comfort, privacy and exterior appearance. Composite, uPVC, timber and aluminium designs offer different material finishes, insulation characteristics and maintenance requirements for front, side and rear entrances. Homeowners can select decorative glazing, coordinated handles, letterboxes and suitable locking configurations to match their property's architecture. Bowalker installs and replaces residential entrance doors with accurate measurements, secure frame anchoring, properly adjusted locks and weather-resistant seals.

What Our Happy Customers Say
Brilliant Service from Leon,Jack and Barry when they fitted my new front door. They were so helpful explaining the new lock and I am delighted with my door. My neighbours have commented on how nice it looks. A big “ thank you “ to the whole team at Bowalker Windows from sales to completion I have been very impressed and would certainly recommend this company to family and friends .
We have had a front door and side panel installed,Team Tim did a great job and were very professional and knowledgeable. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the company and this team to any one !
Simon and Brandon fitted our three windows in our garage > studio conversion and were great through the day. Arrived when they said they would, were very polite, respectful and pleasant people. Found answers to questions we didn’t realise about the installation and though we haven’t yet finished the project the windows are a very exciting and big step forward for us. Would recommend this company and this team without hesitation. Thank you!
Had a problem with our door which was installed 3 years ago - Bowalker - Dean - came to site within 24 hours and helped resolved- thank you ! Very pleased with professional and prompt service
Excellent service from a local independent company. Highly recommend.
I had replacement windows installed. Design and advice was good and cost was competitive. Installation was started in a good time to a good standard.
Bowalker have been incredibly helpful and provided me with extremely useful information about the windows and doors at a property I moved into, previously supplied by them. Great customer service, really recommend
Bowalker replaced all of our windows and patio doors in November. They are very efficient and got the job done in the pouring rain but did it quick and professionally. We had a couple of teething issues with the doors after completion and they did not hesitate to come out and rectify the issue. Excellent customer service and a friendly team. Would highly recommend
We had a total of 6 windows fitted at end of June 2025 (2 bathroom(frosted), 1 hallway,1 dining room and two big bay windows complete with 2 window boards). Took 5 days in total as bay windows were load bearing ,the window boards were not in warehouse so took extra time to arrive and fit , the silicone/mastic finish wasn’t great and they cut one end of a window board wrong , but after a telephone call a new team of fitters came out and rectified the mistakes of original fitters that we had noticed , a window pane had got scratched in delivery so they replaced that as well. This was a big job that entailed some mistakes but over time was rectified by bowalker windows by sending out another team of fitters to fix some minor mistakes of original fitters . We went on a recommendation from a work colleague who had used Bowalker windows in the past as were very good. Maybe just improve your fitters mastic silicone skills a bit more but is is an old house of 110 years and nothing is level in this house
