Traditional Doors
Elegantly timeless, the Apeer Traditional Collection is designed to enhance homes with traditional good looks, with a one-of-a-kind traditional composite door.
Our traditional composite front doors combine the charm of period timber doors with modern performance, making them perfect for homeowners wanting to upgrade their entrance without losing character.
Is the traditional collection
right for your home?
Apeer’s traditional composite doors are perfect for many property styles, including period homes, cottages, rural estates, and homes looking to retain a classic look. Whether you’re upgrading a Victorian terrace, a Georgian-style home or simply want a more traditional entrance, this collection offers timeless design combined with modern advantages.
Premium Accessories
Designed with care and crafted to last, our accessories have been created to complement our traditional door’s unique design features. Whether that’s the traditional rustic metalwork or knocker design, our accessories help make your house look like a home.
Glass Choice
All of our traditional front doors can be designed with a range of glazing options to suit your exterior decor. From contemporary sandblasting to more traditional looks, your glass choice defines whether your door feels more cottage-style, period or classically elegant.
Effortless Maintenance
Say goodbye to traditional doors that tend to flake or peel and require regular repainting. Composite doors need very little maintenance, and every Apeer traditional door has its colour sprayed, bonded and sealed in place, leaving maintenance to an absolute minimum.
DOORS WITH A UNIQUE PERSONALITY AND CHARACTER: YOURS.
A traditional door is the focal point of your home’s façade.
But it’s more than just an entrance. It speaks to the world on your behalf. It reflects your personality and stands for the same things you do.
Stable Doors
A popular choice for cottage style homes and traditional properties, stable doors are perfect for lazy summer days and fresh frosty mornings. They keep pets and children secure while letting air circulate and sunlight stream in. They also add a touch of rustic charm to any home.
French Doors
Our double door options create a grand, traditional entrance and are ideal for wider openings or rear access points. While many homeowners search for traditional double front doors, composite designs like these offer a similar sense of scale and presence while maintaining security. And with a double rebate and the option of triple glazing, they are equally energy efficient.
ACCESSIBLE DOORS
We offer an accessible traditional composite door that is 100mm wider than our standard doors. These doors can easily accommodate wheelchairs, walking aids and many battery-powered mobility scooters.
Traditional Guarantees
We pride ourselves on providing customers with a traditionally designed composite door that will never let them down. And although it may look like a normal door, there are a host of security, insulation and durability features hidden within that make Apeer doors oh-so-special.

Police Approved
Every Apeer door comes with a multi-point locking system as well as a super-strong, high density polyurethane core that far exceeds all Police-approved security standards.

Secured by Design
Install an Apeer door and you’ll have the weight of our entire design team and security specialists protecting you and your home from intruders. Our doors comfortably exceed all industry standard impact and cut-through tests

Robust Construction
Every Apeer door comes with high strength from within. An expanded mesh reinforcing is inserted into the super-strong, high density polyurethane core alongside an extremely strong vertical steel bar that together, far exceeds all Police-approved security standards.

Virtually Airtight
Our double sealed rebate is virtually airtight by creating an internal secondary seal.

Extra Insulation
Along with our 70mm super-strong, high insulating polyurethane core, glass elements are triple glazed for extra insulation. We can even gas-fill them for improved thermal performance.

Rest Easy
Rest easy – our doors are as intruder-proof as they come. Good to know, whether you’re tucked up at home or away for the night.
