Stable doors are a beautiful way of adding a touch of traditional charm to your home. Their two opening sections provide excellent ventilation and offer your home an authentic countryside look. Whatever your property’s age or character, Halstead Glass can provide a remarkable set of stable doors to best suit your home. With a door so versatile, the only question left is: where should you put it? A stable door is a great choice for your Essex home. Here are 4 stunning stable door ideas to consider.
Can you get stable doors in uPVC?
Stable doors in the kitchen are very popular right now. Installing one for your pantry would give your home a unique, rustic feel. With Halstead’s uPVC and aluminium designs, we can provide the perfect stable door that looks just like authentic timber too.
A kitchen stable door would also be a perfect place to hang a chalkboard, where you can update your shopping list or leave notes for the whole family to see.

Stable back door
Also commonly found in the kitchen, a stable door that leads out to your patio or garden is an enchanting addition to your house. It’s a fantastic way of bringing all those summer garden smells and fresh air into your home. For a truly countryside cottage look, you can try growing plants up the exterior walls on either side of the door.
Halstead’s double-glazed stable door technology will also ensure high-quality insulation and exceptional energy efficiency. Even with the two opening sections, Halstead stable doors will reduce draught and heat loss, maintaining high levels of performance all year round. The two opening sections are designed to be durable, ensuring long-lasting performance and reliability.

Baby gate
Ideal for new families with small children, a stable door’s two opening sections can keep the air circulating around your house, while stopping any little ones from getting where they’re not supposed to. This of course also works for dogs, and it’s even possible to have stable doors installed with a dog flap in the bottom section.
All Halstead’s doors come with multi-point locking systems to keep your home as safe and secure as possible, providing you with the reliance you need for peace of mind.
Stable front door
While this isn’t the most common style, having a stable door for your front entrance would break the mould and catch the eyes of passers-by. With our range of attractive colours and finishes, Halstead can help you achieve whatever look it is you’re going for, complete with a full range of additional details, such as handles, Georgian bars, or double-glazed glass decoration.
