We need to replace a French door, which leads from the living room to an external corridor / passage, which then leads to the back garden.

Would you spend about £2k more for a wooden door, or would you save that money and go for a PVC door?

I don't like PVC front doors, but I don't mind French doors and windows. So the question is not about aesthetics for us, but about whether / how much it would affect the perception of potential buyers. We are always told that PVC negatively affects the perception of many buyers; we don't plan on selling anytime soon, but you never know.

We never access the garden from there; we use the corridor for storage (BBQ, bicycles, etc) and we only open that door when we have to get the bikes.

The windows in the living room are made of wood, but the windows and French doors in the kitchen are PVC.

All Double Glazing Looks Cheap

Double glazing in uPVC, and more latterly PVCu, frames has been the commonplace in homes in the United Kingdom since the &#;s. While it rapidly gained in popularity, it did have its detractors. One of the main complaints about PVCu double glazing was that the frames just looked like cheap plastic, the frames all looked the same and did not contribute to the aesthetics of a home.

Much of the criticism of &#;plastic windows&#; aesthetics had a point. In the beginning, uPVC had a very plain and dull quality to it. It certainly didn&#;t look as robust, authentic or full of character of more traditional timber window frames and fixtures.

However, a lot has changed over the years and new technologies mean that modern PVCu double glazing gives you control over the style, colour, and even the finish of your new windows.
