February 9, 2026

Installers face increasing pressure to supply front doors that meet a wider range of homeowner expectations. Demand for individuality is growing fast, and buyers now want the freedom to choose a type of door that fits their taste, their energy performance goals and the architectural style of their property.

Why are homeowners asking for more bespoke uPVC door options?

Homeowners today want more control over their home improvement projects. That includes colour choice, glazing styles, hardware options and the overall look of their uPVC front doors. Several factors are driving this shift:

• A rise in design-led home renovation trends
• Growing interest in modern uPVC aesthetics for modern homes and new builds
• More awareness of the benefits of uPVC, including excellent insulation, low maintenance properties and peace of mind security features
• A need to improve curb appeal with a personalised finish

Customisation allows homeowners to choose the right uPVC door style for their property without compromise, giving installers greater opportunity to meet expectations at every level.

Dekko’s colour offering helps installers deliver improved curb appeal with a range of colour options suitable for classic and modern settings, shades that match or coordinate with uPVC windows

For many customers planning home upgrades, colour customisation, and a consistent, durable colour quality, becomes the deciding factor in choosing an uPVC door over alternative materials.

Security features that offer peace of mind

While design matters, security remains a top priority for homeowners. A new door must provide reassurance as well as style. Dekko’s uPVC doors are manufactured with advanced security features designed to offer complete peace of mind. These include:
