Composite Doors

SECURE, STYLISH FRONT DOORS FITTED ACROSS NORTHERN IRELAND SINCE 1994

Your front door does a lot of heavy lifting. It sets the tone for your home, keeps your family safe, and needs to stand up to daily use and Northern Ireland weather. With decades of experience fitting doors in homes across Belfast, Bangor, Newtownards and beyond, we know what works long term and what does not.
Quite simply, if we would not fit it in our own homes, we would not fit it in yours.

As authorised agents for both Apeer and Palladio, we supply and professionally fit composite doors that combine security, thermal performance and design flexibility. With thousands of style and specification combinations available, including fanlights, sidelights, decorative glazing, custom colours and upgraded security options, your new front door can be tailored to suit your home perfectly. Every installation is backed by a comprehensive ten year warranty for added peace of mind.

Why Buy Your Composite Door From Budget Designer HomeWorks?

Choosing a new front door is not just about the product. It is about who you trust to specify it correctly, fit it properly, and stand over it long after installation. We have been installing doors in homes across Northern Ireland since 1994, and our reputation has been built on doing things the right way, every time.

Established Local Experience Since 1994:
We have been fitting doors across Northern Ireland for over 30 years, working in all types of homes and conditions. That experience means we know what lasts, what performs well, and what is best avoided.
Carefully Chosen Door Ranges Only:
We do not sell every door on the market. The composite doors we offer have been tried, tested and proven in real homes. If a product does not meet our standards, we simply do not use it.
Authorised Installers With Direct Manufacturer Support:
As authorised agents for Apeer and Palladio, our installations are carried out to manufacturer specifications and backed by full certification. This ensures your warranty is protected and your door performs as it should.
Professional Survey & Installation:
Every door is surveyed properly and made to measure before installation. Our fitting teams work carefully, keep disruption to a minimum, and always leave your home clean and tidy.
Security & Performance Specified Correctly:
From door thickness and glazing to locking systems and hardware, we make sure each door is specified correctly for your home. Security, thermal performance and longevity are never compromised.
Ten Year Warranty & Ongoing Aftercare:
All composite door installations include our comprehensive ten year warranty covering both product and workmanship. With an in house service engineer, support is always available should you ever need it.

Apeer Composite Doors
Apeer composite doors are designed and manufactured in Northern Ireland and are built with long term performance firmly in mind. Known for their strength, security and attention to detail, they are a popular choice for homeowners who want a reliable, high performing front door without compromising on style.
We have fitted Apeer doors in homes across Northern Ireland for many years and trust them for their consistent build quality and proven durability. As authorised Apeer installers, we supply and fit made to measure doors that are carefully specified to suit each property.
- Strong, Secure and Energy Efficient: Apeer composite doors are available in a 70mm thickness, achieving an A++ energy rating for excellent thermal performance. Steel reinforcement adds strength and stability, while police approved security locks come as standard. For homeowners who want added peace of mind, Ultion locking can be specified as an upgrade.
- Durable Construction With Lasting Colour: Apeer doors use tough GRP outer skins that help protect the colour finish from fading over time, even in exposed or coastal locations. This makes them well suited to Northern Ireland conditions, where weather can take its toll on lesser products.
- Designed to Suit Any Home: With one of the widest colour selections available, Apeer doors can be tailored to suit both modern and traditional properties. Decorative glazing, fanlights, sidelights and custom colour combinations allow you to create an entrance that feels personal and well considered.
- Manufacturer Backed Warranty: Every Apeer door is supplied with a ten year manufacturer’s warranty, reflecting the confidence behind the product and providing reassurance long after installation.
Palladio Composite Doors
Palladio composite doors are known for their distinctive designs and solid construction, offering a premium entrance solution with real presence. Their range is particularly popular for homeowners looking for a bold, architectural front door with depth, detail and character.
As authorised Palladio installers, we supply and fit made to measure doors that are carefully specified to suit the style of your home. Palladio doors are a great choice for both contemporary properties and more traditional homes where a strong visual statement is desired.
- Solid Construction and Thermal Performance: Palladio doors are manufactured with a solid composite core and a 70mm door thickness, providing excellent strength, insulation and a reassuring weight and feel. The construction helps reduce heat loss through the entrance while delivering long term durability.
- Distinctive Designs and Glazing: The Palladio collection is known for its sculpted door designs and decorative glazing options. A wide range of glass styles, fanlights and sidelights are available, allowing you to create a striking entrance that still feels well balanced and proportioned to the property.
- Security as Standard: Multi point locking systems, reinforced construction and high quality hardware come as standard across the Palladio range. Additional security options can be specified to suit your needs, giving confidence without compromising the overall design.
- Built for Long Term Use: Durable outer skins and quality finishes help Palladio doors maintain their appearance over time. Each door is supplied with a manufacturer backed warranty, reflecting the confidence in their build quality and performance.
Built For Northern Ireland Homes
Northern Ireland’s climate demands more from a front door than most. From exposed coastal locations such as Portaferry or Whitehead to colder inland areas like Craigantlet, a composite door needs to cope with wind, rain, salt air and temperature changes without losing performance or appearance. The composite doors we supply and install are chosen specifically for these conditions and fitted with long term durability in mind.
- Engineered for Harsh Weather: Insulated composite cores, durable outer skins and high quality seals work together to block draughts and resist moisture in all conditions.
- Proven in Coastal and Inland Locations: We have installed composite doors across the Ards Peninsula, Carrickfergus, Craigantlet and beyond, where they continue to perform reliably despite years of exposure to wind, rain and changing temperatures.
- Stable and Secure Construction: Reinforced door structures and precision fitting help prevent movement, warping and heat loss over time.
- Quality Seals and Thresholds: Correct sealing and threshold specification ensures smooth operation, improved comfort and reduced heat loss at the entrance.
- Installed With Real World Conditions in Mind: Our experience fitting doors locally means every installation is planned around exposure, orientation and everyday use.
Designed Around You, Installed to Last
A front door should feel personal, function effortlessly and continue to look good for years. From design through to installation and aftercare, we focus on getting the details right so your new composite door works as well as it looks.
- Extensive Design and Colour Choice: With hundreds of colour options, decorative glazing styles and a wide range of hardware, your door can be tailored to suit your home and your taste.
- Visualise Before You Choose: Door builder tools and full size showroom displays allow you to explore styles, finishes and glazing before placing your order.
- Surveyed and Made to Measure: Every door is carefully surveyed and manufactured to exact measurements, ensuring a precise fit and smooth operation.
- Professional Installation: Doors are fitted by experienced installers who understand alignment, weather sealing and building control requirements.
- Long Term Support and Warranty: All installations are backed by our comprehensive ten year warranty on product and workmanship, with ongoing aftercare available should you ever need advice or support.
Trade Supply For Installers & Builders
Alongside our residential installations, we also supply composite doors to professional installers and builders across Northern Ireland. Our trade service is designed to take the pressure out of sourcing, ordering and manufacturer liaison, so you can focus on fitting and delivery to your customer.

Questions About The Service

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What brands of composite doors do you supply?

We are authorised agents for Apeer and Palladio composite doors. Both ranges are supplied and installed across Northern Ireland and are backed by full manufacturer certification and warranty.

Are composite doors more secure than uPVC doors?

Yes. Composite doors are generally stronger than standard uPVC doors due to their solid core construction, reinforcement and advanced locking systems. They are designed to provide a higher level of security for front entrances.

What locking systems are included?

All composite doors we supply include multi point locking systems as standard. High security locking upgrades, including premium cylinder options, can also be specified for additional peace of mind.

Are composite doors energy efficient?

Yes. Composite doors offer excellent thermal performance thanks to their insulated core, quality seals and precision fit. This helps reduce heat loss and draughts at the entrance of your home.

Can I choose double or triple glazing in my door?

Double and triple glazing is standard across the composite door ranges we supply. Higher performance glazing options are available depending on the door design and specification.

Will a composite door help reduce draughts?

Yes. 70mm composite doors are designed to seal tightly over the frame, creating an airtight seal. This helps to block draughts and improve comfort in your hallway or entrance area.

Can I design my own composite front door?

Yes. You can design your own door using the door builder tools provided right here on our website, or by visiting our showroom. Styles, colours, glazing, hardware and side panels can all be tailored to suit your home.

What colours are available for composite doors?

A wide range of standard and premium colours are available, including smooth and woodgrain finishes. Many designs also allow for different internal and external colours for added flexibility. Don’t see a colour you like? Just bring a RAL or HEX code and we will colour match it for you!

Can I add sidelights or a fanlight?

Yes. Depending on the size of your opening, sidelights and fanlights can be customised with all composite door designs to increase natural light and enhance the overall appearance of your entrance.

Are decorative and privacy glass options available?

Yes. A wide choice of decorative, frosted, privacy and safety glass options is available, allowing you to balance light, security and privacy. Sandblasted glass is becoming increasingly popular due to the design freedom – customise with your house number, family crest or something fun!

Do you offer composite door installation?

Yes. We provide a full supply and installation service across Northern Ireland. Every door is professionally surveyed, made to measure and fitted by experienced installers.

How long does it take to fit a composite door?

Will you remove my old door?

Yes. Your existing door and frame will be carefully removed and responsibly disposed of as part of the installation process. We recycle as much materials as we can, helping to reduce the carbon footprint.

Do I need planning permission for a new front door?

In most cases, replacing a front door does not require planning permission. If your property is listed or in a conservation area, we can advise during the survey stage as there may be restrictions on the type of materials you will be permitted to use.

Do you supply composite doors for trade customers?

Yes. We offer trade supply to professional installers and builders across Northern Ireland. Doors are made to measure, supplied with certification and can be collected from our Bangor NI hub or delivered ready to fit.

Steven Doe 8 months ago

very good price, guys were really quick, pleasent and clean, highly recommend

Stephen 11 months ago

We had put this off for years and eventually asked these guys for a quote from a friends recommendation. We had a couple of visits from Norman who was very helpful and really took his time to discuss the options available. What put me off other firms was they seemed in such a rush. All the process and costs explained very well and date set for installation. Thought the place was going to be a disaster for a couple of days given all windows and doors replaced but the fitter William and guys were terrific and after 2 days everything was completed. Came back in from work and you would not have known they were there given how tidy it was left. An excellent job throughout and really glad we now have them all done before winter.

Joe Simpson 1 year ago

Cannot recommend Budget enough. We shopped around and couldn't find anywhere that matched them both on price and quality. From the initial meeting to installation, their communication was brilliant and professional. We had a small issue with one of the doors recently but they fixed it quickly and efficiently. Thank you to Kyle, Shauna and the rest of the team.

Mark McIlrath 1 year ago

Thoroughly good guys.
Can't recommend enough.
