Red Front Doors
Make a bold first impression with a vibrant red front door.
Spectrum of red front doors to suit every style
Choosing one of our red front doors means embracing a world of colour far beyond a single shade. Whether your heart is set on a soft, delicate Rose, a vibrant and punchy Post box Red, or a sophisticated, deep Burgundy, we can match your vision perfectly. Our extensive palette allows you to fine-tune your red front door, ensuring the hue complements your brickwork and reflects your personal taste with absolute precision.
Woodgrain or polished โ choose your finish
Beyond the colour, the skin of your red front doors is in your hands. You can opt for a sleek, high-gloss modern look or a rich, authentic woodgrain texture that mimics traditional timber. Every door is engineered for maximum thermal efficiency and structural integrity, ensuring that your bold style statement is backed by the legendary “5 Star” security and durability your home deserves.

Premium Performance: Red Composite Front Doors
While our composite range is available in a virtual rainbow of colours, choosing a red composite front door creates an entrance with undeniable presence. These doors are the gold standard for homeowners seeking a substantial, high-quality feel. Built with a dense, high-performance core, a composite door offers a “solid” thud when closing and provides a thickness that traditional doors simply cannot match, ensuring your home makes a premium statement from the very first glance.
Affordable Elegance: Red UPVC Front Doors
While white front doors remain the common choice for UPVC, a red UPVC front door is a fantastic way to add a burst of personality to your home without exceeding your budget. Often representing our most accessible entry-level price point, these doors offer exceptional versatility. You can customise your look with a wide variety of decorative glass centres or solid, high-quality infill panels, allowing you to create a high-impact entrance that fits your specific financial requirements.
The heritage of the red front door
Red front doors have long carried meaning. In early America, they signalled sanctuary to travellers, while in Scotland a red door traditionally marked a mortgage-free home. The colour later became part of Britainโs visual identity, echoed in the iconic Post Office red of Royal Mail pillar boxes. Today, a red entrance remains a nod to this heritage, combining warmth, confidence, and a sense of lasting pride.

Common questions about red front doors
Red front doors always get people talking – and thinking. From how bold shades affect kerb appeal to questions around durability, maintenance, and long-term style, itโs natural to want reassurance before making a statement choice. Below, we answer the most common questions homeowners ask about red front doors, helping you decide whether this confident colour is right for your home.
1. Does a red front door have to be red on the inside and outside?
No, not at all. While you can choose “red-on-red”, most homeowners opt for a dual-colour design. This allows you to have a vibrant red exterior to boost your kerb appeal while choosing a neutral tone like Gloss White or Cream for the interior. Ensuring your door matches your decor and internal skirting.
2. Will a red composite front door fade with sunlight?
At 5 Star, our red composite doors are manufactured with a high-impact GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) skin. The colour is built into the material rather than just painted on the surface. This means your door is resistant to UV rays and won’t peel, flake, and fade little.
3. What is the most popular red for a front door?
While we offer a full spectrum, Postbox Red remains a timeless favourite for traditional homes, while Deep Burgundy and Crimson are incredibly popular for a more sophisticated, regal look. For contemporary homes, we are seeing a rise in Soft Rose and Terracotta shades.
4. Are red UPVC front doors as secure as composite doors?
While UPVC is our most affordable entry point, every 5 Star red front door features similar advanced multi-point locking systems and high security door barrels to our premium ranges. While composite doors are thicker and offer higher thermal density, our UPVC door range is FENSA-approved and engineered to meet strict UK security standards.
5. Can I choose a red front door in a woodgrain finish?
Absolutely. You don’t have to choose a smooth, polished finish. Many of our red doors-especially Composite, Palladio, and Residence collections-feature an authentic woodgrain texture. This gives you the beautiful, traditional look of a painted timber door but with the modern benefits of high security and low maintenance.
6. Do red front doors suit modern-style houses?
Red is incredibly versatile. For modern properties, a Red Aluminium or Composite door with sleek, stainless steel bar handles and minimalist glazing creates a contemporary look. Vibrant reds contrast beautifully with grey masonry or white rendering.
7. How do I keep my red front door looking clean?
One of the best virtues of our modern red doors is that they are low maintenance. Unlike timber, they never need repainting. To keep the colour vibrant, simply wipe the door down occasionally with warm soapy water and a soft cloth.
8. Is a red front door considered "lucky"?
In many cultures and traditions, a red front door is a very positive symbol. In Feng Shui, a red door is thought to invite energy and abundance into the home. Historically, it has also been a sign of a “welcoming home” or sanctuary.
