When it comes to first impressions, your front door does more talking than you think. That’s exactly what Mr & Mrs Barfield of Woodhall Spa understood when they decided it was time to bid farewell to their old, worn-out door and usher in a new era for their home’s kerb appeal. Their vision? A timeless, elegant design in a charming colour that would harmonise beautifully with the character of their property. The verdict: a soft sage green composite front door with stylish glass and matching side panels. And who did they turn to for this bespoke upgrade? Roofriendly, of course.
The Problem: A Tired Door That No Longer Delivered
Like many homes in the region, the Barfields’ original front door had gone past its prime. It was draughty, lacked modern security features, and simply didn’t fit the aesthetic or energy efficiency needs of a contemporary home. Aside from being functionally outdated, the door also lacked that welcoming spark – it just wasn’t “them” anymore. With home security and thermal insulation both top-of-mind, they knew it wasn’t just about form; function mattered just as much.
The Vision: Classic Style Meets Practical Comfort
Mr & Mrs Barfield had a very specific picture in mind: a composite door that would blend heritage styling with all the mod-cons—durability, insulation, and enhanced security—all wrapped up in a colour that added subtle personality. Soft sage green ticked all their boxes, but finding the right door and glass panel combo was proving trickier than expected.
Why Roofriendly Was the Perfect Fit
Enter Roofriendly. The Barfields were drawn to a particular decorative glass style with matching fan light and side panels, something they simply couldn’t find through high street or online suppliers. After discovering Roofriendly’s extensive range and talking to our friendly design experts, they realised we offered the exact colour and detailing they were after—all backed by our strong local reputation, expert installers, and no-pressure quoting process.
It was a perfect match. With a clear brief, we set to work designing a composite door solution that would match their vision while ensuring their investment paid off in comfort, style, and added property value.
Installation Day: Precision Meets Passion
The Roofriendly installation team arrived promptly in Woodhall Spa, ready to breathe new life into the Barfields’ entranceway. The installation included not just the composite front door itself, but also beautifully framed side panels and a fan light that amplified natural light in the hallway while keeping privacy in check.
As with all our projects, every step—from removal of the old door to the final polish—was handled with care, respect for the property, and attention to detail. The new unit fit seamlessly into the original opening thanks to our professional measurement and planning process, ensuring no hidden gaps or uneven finishes.
The Result: Style, Security, and a Warm Welcome
The transformation was immediate. Where once stood a tired fixture now sits a show-stopping sage green entranceway that oozes elegance and modern charm. The decorative glass in the fan light and side panels beautifully refracts the sunlight, welcoming guests with a warm, subtly-lit glow.
But it’s not just about appearances. The new composite door significantly improves insulation, helping the Barfields maintain a consistent indoor temperature year-round—a feature that’s already made a noticeable difference, even in the unpredictable British spring. And thanks to its multi-point locking system and robust GRP design, their home is now more secure, too.
Most surprisingly? How such a seemingly “small” change completely elevated the home’s character. As we often say here at Roofriendly—sometimes the smallest changes make the biggest difference.
