Under the current legislation, all new doors sold and fitted in England and Wales must have a U-value of 1.8W/m2K or less. The door’s U-value is a measure of its energy efficiency. The lower the U-value, the more energy-efficient the door.

Choosing thermal glass on Door-Stop doors makes them even more energy-efficient, with an ultimate U-value of just 1.1 W/m2K.
