Edwardian front doors
Edwardian front doors are more elaborate than previous period styles with ornate glazed panels, sidelights and fanlights above.
The Edwardian period was a relatively short time frame of less than twenty years from 1900 to 1918 in the reign of King Edward. After the economical design of Victorian houses, Edwardian builds had a much bigger footprint built on a bigger plot that featured gardens to the front and rear of the house. The classic Edwardian house and most recognisable style is the semi-detached house. Like Victorian houses, Edwardian houses had bay windows with walls of red brick and pebble-dash or half-wall white render with mock Tudor black timbering.
A predominant influence was the popular Arts and Crafts movement that featured a unique decorative style. Around the front door, Edwardian houses often feature an ornately carved porch, mock balconies or verandas above the door to protect from the weather. The front door is usually inset with a carved wooden surround, sidelights and large fanlight across the top to flood the hallway with light. The actual front door is a wooden panel door with ornately glazed panels.
An original Edwardian front door can be replaced with a composite panel door with glazed panels and decorative glass, or a new wooden door. Popular colours for this style are traditional white, black, brown and blue, or a natural varnished timber finish.
All Everest doors are bespoke, made to order in the UK and installed by our team for a perfect fit and finish.
