I sold A LOT of doors during the second half of 2011. Maybe people were prioritizing doors above windows as they see doors as more of a security risk. Maybe there were more knackered old doors that needed replacing than windows – especially the old timber ones with leaks and draughts all over the place, with bad weather exposing the bad areas.
People are certainly putting their efforts into the doors in their home. And why not! They use them every day. They need to be secure, high performing, good in looks and brilliant at keeping the heat out.
We’ve started this year in brisk fashion, and guess what we’ve been selling plenty of? Yep, doors. The pattern from last year seems to have carried on to the start of this year.
I’m really asking you all a question with this post really. Are you finding that over the past 6-9 months there has been a relatively obvious shift towards installing new doors as opposed to full house replacement windows.
Clearly plenty of windows are still being sold, I just think doors have taken over in the priority race right now. Do you agree?

but this is the most important thing in the house
>Yes I completely agree, there has a been a shift towards consumers just buying doors. even a change from the summer, as soon as it got colder we had more door orders.
