Directdoors are leading online suppliers of a wide choice of exterior and interior doors and have 46 distribution points thoughout Britain. Their doors come in a range of standard sizes and are made of pine, oak and mahogany as well as PVC, plywood and glass. They also offer a made-to-measure designer range of exterior doors, either fully wood-panelled or with double-glazed panes. All the doors from their 'cheap' to 'luxury' ranges, are attractively priced. They also supply the popular Vu-Fold patio range with useful assembly instructions in downloadable Pdf files.

Their website however, could do with a makeover and is disappointingly pedestrian with small, poor quality photos which can't be enlarged and tiny difficult-to-read print. However, lack of imagination is largely offset by very detailed product information and a wealth of DIY tips and How-tos. They have an excellent customer service and are always on hand to give advice. Delivery charges are the best on offer – they are completely free nationwide.
