Are there any UPVC doors that don't have the high threshold? It puts me off.
It is a trip hazard and the rubber seal gets damaged.
Surely there is an alternative design

Hi,

We live in an Edwardian semi about 100yds from the sea (plenty of
wind, salt, etc..). The front door is currently a very old aluminium
double glazed door with 2 main glass panels (an somewhat un-attractive
yellow) that is continuously cold to the touch - and very very ugly.
We have just replaced the double glazing (uPVC) and now want to tackle
the front door.

I cannot decide between wooden or uPVC door:
Wooden doors are far more attractive, good range of doors (new or
salvage) to choose from, can be repainted on a whim, accept different
door furniture easily,
uPVC doors are generally white only, limited range, have a high
threshold, are draughtproof, never need maintenance.

Which is the most secure? I have read enough posts here to know that
this answer is a heated topic of discussion.

A chippie who lives next door says he would not put in a wooden door
(turning down potential business!) because of where we live.

Any suggestions?

If you have put in upvc windows, do the same with your door. For the sae
reasons you did the windows will apply to the door. Having white upvc
windows, and a coloured front door looks odd to me.
