From Quick Fix to Timeless Finish: How Doors Plus’ Double Heritage Style Front Doors Got It Right

When Paula and Marty decided to make over their entryway, they weren’t just chasing a better first impression; they wanted a front door that finally felt right for their home.

“We added some wallpaper and panelling,” Paula explains, “and the old door didn’t go with the new look, so we wanted to replace it.”

The original door had served its time. It was lightweight, didn’t feel secure, and stuck out like a sore thumb against their new heritage-inspired hallway.

Marty was just as ready for a front door change. “The old door was quite warped; it wasn’t a good look.”

Paula and Marty wanted a door that could carry the tone of their classic renovation, with enough strength and structure to keep their home safe over the years. A door that looked the part and felt it, too.

They didn’t need to think twice about where to go for a new front door. One name instantly came to mind.

A Catchy Jingle Turns Into a Confident Choice

“I knew about Doors Plus because I’d heard the jingle before, on the radio and TV,” Paula says. “They were the first company that came to mind when we were thinking about getting a new door.”

They headed to the Doors Plus showroom in Balcatta, Western Australia, and knew straight away they were in the right place. “We were impressed by the entire range,” Marty says.

Among the variety of styles and quality options, one door stood out as the perfect fit.

From Warped to Wow

When Paula and Marty first moved in, they gave the old warped front door a quick coat of mustard paint to freshen it up. But that was never a long-term solution.

The new Doors Plus double front doors couldn’t be more different. Crafted from solid timber with a stained finish, they instantly lifted the look and feel of the entryway.

“We absolutely love them,” Paula says. “They’re a nice stained timber and suit the classic heritage style we were going for in the entryway.”

And while the design fits beautifully with their home’s period charm, the upgrade isn’t just about looks. These heritage-style double front doors balance style with security and durability.

Marty explains, “We got a nice solid door with proper double laminated safety glass, and it still looks the part: traditional.”

Classic by Design, Contemporary by Nature

The front door Paula and Marty chose is part of the Doors Plus Pyrmont range, a collection known for its timeless Victorian-inspired style. Each design in the range blends the warmth of solid timber with the character of glass panelling, perfect for homes with classic or heritage features.

Glass options include clear, translucent, or Insulsafe™ decorative glass.

Insulsafe™ glass is an energy-efficient, double-glazed panel that helps reduce outside noise and improves insulation. It’s ideal for entry doors because it adds a layer of thermal comfort and security while maintaining that traditional stained glass aesthetic.

Seamless Service From Start to Finish

From the showroom to their home, Paula and Marty felt looked after by the Doors Plus team every step of the way.

A Doors Plus technician came out to measure the front door opening, then returned with help to complete the installation.

“What impressed us the most is probably the quality of the tradesmen,” Marty says. “They had a really good eye for detail. Before we could blink, the old door was out, the frame was out, and the new door was in. Quality workmanship through and through.”

Paula appreciated the care and respect the installation team showed while working in their home.

“When the guys were here installing, they were cleaning as they were going. They were really, really clean and quick.”

Good Quality + Great Service = Happy Doors Plus Customers!

“It was really easy to go in (to the showroom) and have a look at what we wanted,” says Paula. “Then, the process from quoting to measuring to installing was seamless. I’d definitely recommend Doors Plus to friends and family.”
