Georgian front door

The rich history of Georgian front doors

The style is named after George I and his eponymous descendants that reigned from 1714 until 1830. It includes various hallmarks of Renaissance design, such as symmetry, strictness, and rectilinear panelling.

If you take a stroll through London's City of Westminster, you´ll experience the charisma of Georgian-style front doors first-hand. Even though authentic Georgian doors are usually painted black, many front doors have been painted with bright, vibrant colours. This creates a cheerful, welcoming feel, which ties in nicely with the reserved look of Georgian entrances.

A different variety of
Georgian style doors

One of the most famous front doors in the UK – 10 Downing Street – abides by all of these principles. The black wooden door has six symmetrical panels and plain golden door furnishings. A grand lunette fanlight completes the look of the most well-known front door in Great Britain.

However, we want to provide for all your wishes. This is why you may deviate from the guidelines of traditional Georgian front doors to give your entrance a personal touch. In our configurator, you can choose from various design options and door furnishings, which include:

• glazing
• sidelights
• panelling
• glass finish
• letterbox
• knockers
• door handles

You may also decide between a traditional wooden door and a modern aluminium front door. Both have their advantages. However, wooden doors and windows typically require more maintenance than our unique aluminium entrances. Our Classico collection is sure to add some inspiration for your bespoke Georgian style door.
