With so few options around for 1930's composite fornt doors, we're looking to bring greater choice to those that are looking to upgrade their period properties with an up to date composite door.
Not only are we expanding the range of 30's doors on offer, but introducing new decorative stained glass inspired glass designs from the 1930's.
We will talk in this article about the door designs we have on offer, the standard glass options, and the offer for a tailored bespoke design service that has been created to allow our customer the freedom of choice when it comes to either matching existing designs, or realising a new creation.
1930's Door designs
Where all 1930's composite designs we have on offer may not be exact matches to the door designs of this period, some are inspired from the aesthetic of the time. We also take inspiration from the glass designs of the time by using modern lead and film techniques to re-create the beautiful stained glass leaded designs of the day.
Where the range of 30's front doors are not extensive, we are listing the composite styles we have on offer so we can explore them in more detail. The doors we will cover are as follows:
- The London Composite Door
- The Knightsbridge Composite Door
- The Cleveland Composite Door
- The Chelsea Composite Door
- The Mayfair Composite Door
- The Thames Composite Door
- The Brompton Composite Door
Door colour also plays a big part in the overall aesthetic of the door with a large range of traditional colours to really create that 1930's look.
The London Composite Door

The London door design is typical of one of the popular styles at the time with that glazing being set quite high in the door. Complemented with lower panels, this gave the door a truly stand out look.
The lead and film design is easily applied the inside and outside of the outer panel of the double glazed unit which is also toughened glass. This allows the door to comply with up-to-date regulations of safety and efficiency.
