Why Your Front Door Matters More Than You Think
The Problem with Old Front Doors
- Old single glazed doors and tired timber or aluminium entrance doors leak heat, let in draughts, and offer minimal security
- They rattle in the wind. They stick in summer. They warp in winter.
- If your front door doesn't seal properly, your energy costs are higher than they need to be. Every single day.
The Double Glazing Solution
- Double glazed front doors use two panes of toughened glass with a sealed insulating gap between them
- That gap reduces heat transfer, blocks external noise, and makes forced entry significantly harder
- Combined with uPVC frames and multi-point locking, you get a front door that performs as well as it looks
- Warmer in winter. Cooler in summer. Quieter. More secure. That is what modern double glazing delivers.
The DGM Difference
- Custom made to your exact opening. Not off the shelf. Not a standard size forced to fit.
- Manufactured in Australia. Installed by our own fully trained team.
- A large range of styles, colours, and glass options to suit every Melbourne home
- 10-year guarantee on product and installation. Our reviews speak for themselves.
Key Benefits of Double Glazed Front Doors
Enhanced Security. Keep Your Home Safe.
- Multi-point locking systems engage at multiple points around the frame. Not just one lock. Multiple.
- Toughened glass is significantly harder to break than single glazed doors
- Internally glazed. Glass cannot be removed from the exterior.
- Your front door is the primary entry point to your home. Enhanced security isn't optional. It is essential.
Energy Efficiency. Stop Heating the Street.
- Double glazed entrance doors reduce heat loss through the glass and frame
- uPVC frames cut thermal bridging, so far less energy leaks through the door frame
- Stable indoor temperatures year round. Less reliance on heating in winter and cooling systems in summer.
- Lower energy costs. Real savings that help you save. Every quarter.
Noise Reduction and Control. Leave the Noise Outside.
- Two panes of glass with an insulating gap create a sound barrier at your front entry
- Dramatic noise reduction from external traffic, neighbours, and street activity
- Combined with sealed uPVC frames, double glazed doors block noise paths that single glazed doors cannot
- Everyday comfort starts at the front door.
Thermal Efficiency. Melbourne Weather Handled.
- Melbourne swings from 38 degrees to 14 in the same week. Your entrance doors need to handle both.
- Double glazing maintains stable indoor temperatures regardless of what is happening outside
- uPVC doesn't conduct heat like aluminium. Doesn't rot like timber. Just insulates.
- Thermal efficiency that works in every season, for every Melbourne home.
First Impression. Street Appeal.
- Your front door sets the tone for your entire property
- Double glazed front doors from DGM come in a large range of styles, colours, and finishes

FAQs
What are double glazed front doors?
Double glazed front doors are entrance doors that feature two panes of toughened glass with a sealed insulating gap between them. This double glazing reduces heat transfer, improves noise control, and provides enhanced security compared to single glazed doors. They are available in uPVC frames for low maintenance and long term reliability.
Are double glazed front doors secure?
Yes. All our double glazed entrance doors feature multi-point locking systems that engage at multiple points around the frame. Toughened glass is significantly harder to break than single glazed alternatives, and the internally glazed glass cannot be removed from the exterior. These features combined help keep your home safe.
How energy efficient are double glazed front doors?
Double glazed front doors significantly reduce heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer. The sealed glass unit and uPVC frame work together to reduce heat transfer and maintain stable indoor temperatures. This means lower energy costs and less reliance on your heating and cooling systems year round.
Do double glazed front doors reduce noise?
Yes. The two panes of glass with a sealed gap create an effective sound barrier that reduces external noise from traffic, neighbours, and street activity. For homes near busy roads or in built-up areas, double glazed entrance doors make a noticeable difference to everyday comfort.
What styles of front door are available?
Double Glazing Melbourne offers a large range of double glazed front door styles including full-height glazed, part-glazed, sidelite combinations, highlight panels, and double entrance doors. Different styles suit different layouts and architectural styles, and all doors are custom made to your exact opening.
What colours are available for front doors?
Standard colours include Cream, White, Woodgrain, Silver, Ceylon Black, Anthracite Grey, and Smooth Black. Special order colours are also available. You can choose different colours for the interior and exterior of the door to match your home's style.
Can I replace my old front door with a double glazed uPVC door?
Yes. We specialise in replacing old timber, aluminium, and single glazed front doors with modern double glazed uPVC entrance doors. We measure, manufacture, install, and clean up. The process is designed to minimise disruption and deliver an immediate improvement in security, insulation, and street appeal.
