uPVC Doors: Premium Back Doors, Side Doors, and Laundry Doors with DGM
Your back door cops more traffic than your front door.
Your laundry door fights humidity every winter. Your side entry lets in every draught going. These are the hardest-working doors in your house, and the wrong door can mean more heat loss, more outside noise, more upkeep and a weaker entry point. Double Glazing Melbourne makes custom-made double glazed uPVC doors for back, side and laundry entries that improve security, energy efficiency, weather resistance and day-to-day maintenance where it counts most.

FAQs
Why should I upgrade my back or side door to double glazed uPVC?
Upgrading to double glazed uPVC doors makes a big difference to energy efficiency, security, and everyday comfort. Old timber and aluminium doors leak heat, let in draughts, and offer minimal security. uPVC does not conduct heat the way aluminium does, so it delivers better thermal efficiency than aluminium or timber. It also significantly reduces outside noise, which makes it an effective solution for homes in busy areas. They are a smart upgrade for the hardest-working entries in your home.
Are uPVC doors suitable for laundries?
Yes. uPVC is an ideal material for laundry environments because it will not swell, warp, or rot from humidity and moisture. Unlike timber windows and doors, uPVC handles wet conditions without deteriorating. Combined with proper seals and ventilation options, uPVC laundry doors maintain long term performance in one of the most demanding rooms in the house. The multi-chambered profiles enhance both thermal and acoustic insulation, which adds to overall energy efficiency and comfort.
How do uPVC doors improve energy efficiency?
Double glazed uPVC doors reduce heat transfer through the glass and frame. The sealed double glazed glass unit minimises heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer, and the uPVC frame cuts the thermal bridging you get with aluminium. The result is more stable indoor temperatures, reduced reliance on heating and cooling, and lower energy costs year round.
Are back and side doors secure?
Yes. All our uPVC doors feature multi point locking systems that engage at multiple points around the frame. Robust frames reinforced with galvanised steel and double glazed glass provide enhanced security. This is especially important for back and side entries that are often less visible from the street and more vulnerable to forced entry.
What glass options are available?
We offer a range including toughened glass, laminated glass, acoustic glass, obscure glass for privacy, and Low E coated glass for improved energy efficiency. Obscure and frosted options are popular for laundry and side doors where privacy is important but natural light is still needed.
Do uPVC doors need much maintenance?
No. uPVC doors are low maintenance by design and need only minimal upkeep, thanks to durable materials that hold their performance and appearance over time. Regular cleaning with mild soap and water keeps them looking good and working properly. Avoid harsh chemicals, which can damage the surface.
Can I match my new doors with new windows?
Yes. Double Glazing Melbourne manufactures all our windows and doors in the same uPVC profiles and colour range. You can match your new back, side, or laundry doors with casement windows, sliding windows, or any of our double glazed uPVC windows for a consistent look and consistent performance across your home. Different configurations of uPVC doors can be tailored to suit various home designs, from modern to traditional.
How much do uPVC back, side, and laundry doors cost?
The cost depends on the door style, size, glass configuration, and hardware. Every opening is different. Contact us for a free measure and personalised quote. We provide transparent pricing with no hidden fees, and affordable prices for high quality double glazing solutions.

The installation process is designed to minimise disruption and deliver an immediate improvement. Our experienced team handles everything from start to finish.
