Composite front doors are one the most popular entrance door options for UK homeowners. They are industry leaders in terms of security and thermal performance and can rival a traditional real timber door for an attractive aesthetic appearance. As with all products, there are different levels of quality when it comes to composite doors. At the premium end of the composite door market is the Palladio door collection.

The Palladio collection is truly a premium product. Perhaps the most important difference between a standard composite door and a Palladio door is the construction of the core. Most composite doors feature a foam-filled core enclosed within a 2mm GRP outer skin. Palladio doors are created using a thick GRP matrix.
The unique monocoque structure of a Palladio door makes it the most advanced composite door design available and sets it apart from its foam-filled counterparts. During manufacture, the two halves of a Palladio door are bonded together to create the monocoque structure. The monocoque structure is a 65mm-thick reinforced fibreglass core which will never twist, warp, or delaminate. When combined with triple-glazed glass units as standard, Palladio doors provide unbeatable levels of energy efficiency and an unbreakable level of protection for your home.
If you want a stylish front door that is available in several stunning designs, then a Palladio door is the answer. Not only do Palladio doors have authentic timber grain detail and the highest-quality door furniture, but they are available in a range of fabulous colours too. Popular shades such as Chartwell, Silver Grey, Rosewood, Anthracite Grey, Burgundy, Light Oak, Bog Oak, Red, Blue, and Green are all available, meaning you can create a modern front door that will perfectly match the style and aesthetics of your home.
A Palladio composite door is the ultimate entrance door. When compared to standard composite doors, a Palladio door wins on every count.

We are delighted with the windows, and have already been complimented by our neighbours on the upgrade.
Tyler and Paul were very professional and showed good initiative for the inevitable adjustments that needed to be made. They were particularly considerate of our house, it’s character and our pets! Please pass on our thanks and comments as appropriate.
We are delighted with the windows. As you know we were concerned that they would look different and more “clunky” but really you can’t tell the difference except that the new ones are not falling apart!!! The guys who did the fitting were also good. They were working in freezing fog, really cold but they carried on regardless, they were extremely tidy and cleared up after themselves.
I am delighted with the recent installation, it’s good to look out of clear windows. The work was carried out professionally by two excellent gentleman.
I will not hesitate to contact you when I am ready to replace others, also would certainly recommend you to others.
Really impressed with the customer service and professionalism from everyone at Techniglaze. Especially liked the follow up call after our doors were fitted to make sure we were happy. Would definitely recommend.
Excellent. This company really care about doing a great job. Roger and Keith have been very helpful and explaining things in detail that a lay person may not understand.
Excellent customer service, range of products and attention to detail. I honestly can’t rate them highly enough. They stepped in and came to the rescue after Salisbury glass cost us 8 months of time and 100k in increased material costs.
These guys have been great to us. Helped us out at short notice after we were badly let down by another supplier. We asked for several minor details that were not standard (e.g. different locking mechanisms), and they were flexible and open to ideas. We ended up also commissioning our front door from them; it is super sturdy and beautiful. Always courteous, professional, and good payment terms.
First class service for my window repair, with tricky access issues and a large, heavy glazed unit to install. Really glad I chose this company.
I was looking for a company that could deliver a bespoke pair of roof lights in the Alitherm system. Techniglaze offered the best price and worked with us to ensure the sizes were exactly right and conducted the sales process very professionally. The product is first class and we are exceptionally pleased with the service and product. I can highly recommend Techniglaze.
