Font Door Recommendations

[Build-H]

Hi All, I am looking for a new front door for a new entrance that's been built and wondering if anyone has any recommendations for companies / manufacturers - opening size is 2120 H, 1400 W, 1920's house, so I am not looking for something ultra modern, or not too traditional. Ideally, I would like a metre door with 400 sidelight to the left, and for access purposes, ideally a lever handle on both sides. budget of around £3 to 3.5K with fitting, could stretch a little further for the right door. 

 

I chose a Solar Calibre Craftsman door, however, the company supplying it withdrew from the contract as they were experiencing too many quality issues with them. That was an engineered wooden door with a alu-clad frame, double rebated. 

 

I've looked at composite double rebated doors of a around 70mm depth, for example Apeer, but the finishing on these doors aren't great - they are all trying to imitate wood grain, which doesn't look quite right, and most of them are two skins of GRP with a foam centre. Aluminium doors are way too modern and heavy for the property. 

 

I looked at a Kloeber Funky Front, which is a hard wood door panel and softwood frame, sprayed/coated, and single rebate, however, I haven't seen many reviews on this door and the cost of it is around £3.6K without fitting. I would need to use my own fitter as their fitting costs are very high (£900). All seems quite risky to me.

 

I'd be open to any suggestions / recommendations. 

 

many thanks in advance.
