This ones a nice change of pace than hacking Ikea furniture. This isn’t my front door! My mum bought her house with this composite door already here. My own front door is a lovely sage green composite door which was quite a significant cost at the time. It’s something I’m hoping we never have to replace it or need to be restoring!
My mums composite door however is probably one of the worst condition ones I’ve come across. I say that because generally in an older house you’d find an old wooden door or a cheap uPVC one. But this one will have cost quite a bit to put in but then left uncared for throughout it’s life.
After sage green our favourite colour front door is black. The problem with black is that when not clean it looks worse than pretty much any other unmaintained colour! I found the same with my last car which was black. After a clean however it looked better than any other car colour. The only problem was that maintaining a black car was a part time job!
Wood Silk Spray Polish
We use this stuff all over the house for wooden surfaces. It’s under £5 and gives an unreal shine which is easier to maintain and stay on top of. My piano needed a bit of TLC and it brought out so much of the red within the rosewood it’s made of. Unfortunately I don’t have any before or after pics of it because I didn’t realise at the time how much of a difference it would make!
The link I’ve provided at Amazon is a lot more expensive than just going to B&M Bargains or a similar shop. I think you can get it for less than £2 so it depends on how much you want to pay for convenience!
Restoring the front door
I’m not exactly sure why the front door faded to a greyish hue. But my first thought was to get the wood silk spray out and a microfibre cloth to see what could be done. I don’t need to write anymore on this as the pictures below does all the talking!
