This wider frame gives the door a more interesting and innovative design, creating a wide frame that gives more or less privacy with the use of glass. Used as external doors, glazed doors can give your home or business added character and make the entrance more beautiful and elaborate. Here at UK Oak Doors, we supply both glazed and unglazed doors. For those who opt for a glazed style, we recommend our beautiful double glazed external doors to complement both modern and older homes.
