Your front door is the first thing people see. Your back door is the last barrier between your home and the outside world. At Spectrum Glazing, we help homeowners across Colchester and the surrounding Essex area choose and install doors that work hard, look great, and stand the test of time.
Whether you're replacing a tired old door or upgrading as part of a renovation, we'll guide you through every option and handle the full installation from start to finish.
We're not a national chain. We're a local business that takes pride in the work we do for our neighbours across Colchester and Essex.
Your front door sets the tone for your entire home. A tired or draughty door doesn't just look worn — it can let heat escape, reduce security, and bring down your kerb appeal.
Our uPVC front doors are built to change that. With multi-point locking systems as standard, they offer a serious upgrade in home security. The insulated core keeps warmth in and cold out, which means lower heating bills and a more comfortable home year-round.
Choose from a wide selection of styles — from classic panel designs to contemporary full-glass options — and a full range of colours and hardware finishes. Whether you live in a Victorian terrace, a 1930s semi, or a modern new-build in Colchester, we'll help you find a front door that fits.
Benefits at a glance:
Back doors often get overlooked, but they deserve just as much attention as the front. They're a common entry point for break-ins and a frequent source of draughts and heat loss.
Our uPVC back doors are solid, secure, and well-insulated. Whether you want a standard door with glazed panels for natural light or a more solid design for privacy, we've got options to suit your layout and preferences.
Easy to open and close, weathertight in all conditions, and virtually maintenance-free — a new uPVC back door from Spectrum Glazing is a straightforward upgrade that makes a real difference to everyday life.

If you have a garden or outdoor space, a sliding patio door transforms how you use it. When the sun's out in Colchester — and it does appear — you want to open up your home easily and let that connection between inside and outside breathe.
Our uPVC sliding patio doors glide smoothly on their tracks, take up no floor space when open, and flood your living area with natural light. The large glass panels make a room feel bigger, brighter, and more connected to your garden or patio.
Security is built in. Our sliding doors come with multi-point locking as standard, so you get all that openness without compromising on safety.

French doors bring a touch of elegance to any home. They open wide, letting in light and fresh air, and they create a beautiful threshold between your home and garden.
Our uPVC French doors are available in a range of sizes and configurations, with options for side panels if you want an even broader opening. They're well-suited to period properties and modern homes alike, and they perform brilliantly in terms of insulation and security.
If you're looking to create a focal point in your rear living space or add something special to an extension, French doors are a popular choice with our Colchester customers.

Love the warmth and character of timber but don't want the upkeep? Our timber-look uPVC doors give you the best of both worlds.
Using advanced foiling techniques, these doors replicate the grain and texture of real wood — in finishes like oak, rosewood, mahogany, and more — while delivering all the practical benefits of uPVC. No sanding, no painting, no swelling in damp weather.
They're particularly popular with homeowners in older properties around Colchester and across Essex, where keeping the character of the home matters but maintaining real timber just isn't practical.
