The following are the types of doors we offer for your Dundee home.
Composite doors
Composite doors are doors that are made up of multiple materials, and these combine to create an all-in-one versatile doors:
- High durability and resilience – Making the most of each material, a composite door can stand up to a lot. It has a powerful core made of wood, a material that is strong but otherwise vulnerable to moisture and other elements. It is protected by an outer layer of uPVC and GRP, which boasts resistance against moisture and temperature fluctuations, thereby making it near impervious to the elements and impact damage both.
- Security – The strong core and outer layer make up the bulk of security in composite doors. Dundee residents will also be happy to learn, however, that like with all of our doors, we have also integrated a multi-point locking system that locks at several points along the door frame.
- Energy efficiency – As with most of our doors, we ensure that our composite doors come with the highest quality possible for energy efficiency. Composite doors come with foam embedded within, with the goal of keeping heat within the home by serving as a barrier.
- Low maintenance – Composite doors require little to no upkeep. With the door’s surface being coated in GRP, sun rays will keep your door from discolouring, and the inherent qualities of the outer layers keep all manner of weathering effects from damaging the doors.
uPVC doors
If there’s a type of door made for Scotland, it’s uPVC Doors. Dundee homes can be affected by weather and other factors, but uPVC doors are more than up to the task, offering the following benefits:
- Durability – uPVC doors are designed entirely to maximise resistances against the elements. The strong plastic resists cracks, dents, warping and impact damage to high levels. Moisture is blocked through its inherent resistances, creating a barrier that denies entry and sidesteps issues such as sweeping, warping, and mould.
- Security – The overall strength and security of your home will be guaranteed with our reinforced panels and state of the art multi-point locking system.
- Energy efficient doors – uPVC doors have a foam core and air tight chambers. This means that during colder temperatures, the door will trap heat inside the house. Thermal breaks within the door frame stop heat and cold passing through, and additional weather seals around the edges can prevent cold air from entering the house and lowering interior temperatures.
- Cost effective – uPVC doors are cheaper than many alternatives, and last longer too, which goes a long way in making them amongst the most popular choices for doors. Dundee residents tend to consider this door a favourite as a result.
Bi-Fold Doors
Bi-fold doors are considered to be a highly stylish and modern type of door, emphasising glass and economic use of space.
- Space saving design – The design of bi-fold doors mainly revolves around its opening and closing mechanism. Instead of sliding, or swinging open, it instead folds in on itself like an accordion, folding up against the wall in its fully closed state. This not only means that there’s more space freed up in the home, but also allows for a wide open entrance.
- Aesthetic appeal – Bi-fold doors are sleek, the frames slim and sometimes hard to see, and the large windows make viewing the outside easy. Their minimalism combined with their stylish appearance and glazing options make them highly efficient in both beauty and function.
- Natural light – The glass focus of bi-fold doors allows a lot of natural light to enter your home. Without turning this into a science lecture, it’s proven that natural light is more healthy and mentally fulfilling than artificial light, as well as being good for the skin (via Vitamin D).

Double door formats emphasise symmetry, and the grid-patterned glass panes show off sophistication in craftsmanship.

Doors Dundee FAQs
What type of door is best for an external door in Dundee?
Dundee is home to weather that can at times be wet, windy, and fluctuate in temperature. For windows and doors installers, this can be an obstacle – but not for Pro Glaze Group.
Here are some of the best door choices if you’re looking to protect your Dundee home from the elements:
- Composite doors – When it comes to composite doors, Dundee is a fantastic option. They have excellent insulation capabilities, keeping the cold weather out and your heat in, due to their multi-material construction. They are low maintenance, and highly secure.
- uPVC doors – uPVC front doors in Dundee are also a fantastic fit. They are resistant to moisture, immune to frequent weather changes, and best of all – they are affordable.
- Fibreglass (GRP) doors – Fibreglass doors are resistant to both warping, and weather damage. Their insulation properties are fantastic, and they can mimic wood aesthetics for those who want a more traditional, sophisticated look.
