Tuesday, 13 January 2026
Choosing a composite door from Bill Butters Windows is an excellent way to enhance your home's security, energy efficiency, and aesthetics. Your choice to select one of our Solidor composite doors means you are investing in a product built to last, combining superior materials and craftsmanship. This article outlines what to expect during the installation of your new composite door, ensuring you are well prepared for the steps involved.
Before Installation Day
Once you've made your selection and your order has been placed, the following steps will occur before the installation day:
1. Surveying: A technical surveyor will visit your home at a pre-arranged time. This visit is crucial because it allows us to take detailed measurements of the door frame and assess any potential installation challenges. This ensures that your new door fits perfectly and functions as intended.
2. Manufacturing: Based on the specifications gathered during the survey, your composite door will be custom-manufactured. This process adheres to the highest standards of quality control and is tailored to your specifications and colour choices.
3. Scheduling: We will contact you to arrange a suitable installation date. We aim to find a time that causes the least disruption to your daily routine.
Installation Day
On the designated day, our professional installation team will carry out the work, which typically follows this process:
1. Arrival and Preparation: Our fitters will arrive at the agreed-upon time, equipped with all necessary tools and your new door. They will begin by preparing the area to ensure your property is protected from damage during installation.
2. Removing the Old Door: The existing door will be carefully removed. This includes dismantling the frame if it is also being replaced.
3. Fitting the New Door: With the old door out, the new composite door will be fitted. Our fitters make precise adjustments to ensure that the door operates smoothly, aligns evenly, and provides optimum thermal insulation and security.
4. Sealing and Finishing: The door is secured in place, and any gaps are sealed using professional-grade insulating materials. This phase is essential to prevent drafts and water ingress.
5. Cleanup and Inspection: After the door is installed, our team will clean up the installation site, remove any debris, and ensure the area is tidy. We then perform a final inspection with you to ensure everything meets your satisfaction and that the door functions correctly.
6. Guidance: Lastly, our team will demonstrate how to operate your new door correctly. This includes how to maintain it to ensure longevity and optimal performance.
