Best Exterior Door for Energy Rating

    I'm looking to replace my hall door. I live in an old (1930s) house and the drafts through the door in the Winter are terrible. Struggling to figure out which is the best exterior door to pick. I had a look at Rationel doors at the weekend (U rating of 0.9) - expensive but seem to be good quality. Does anyone have any thoughts on them? I also took a look at Palladio doors - not as attractive as Rationel but seem to have a better U rating (0.6 combined). The front door is South facing so lots of direct sunlight on it. Would appreciate any advice people have.

    Profile Developments make a thermal composite exterior door with a very very low U-Value.I thinks its about 0.205 or there abouts.

    I opted for one of their black georgian exterior 6 panel doors when building my house,and my house faces north.The windows are custom made and tripple glazed and stained glass design too.These were made by a friend of mine who makes bespoke and designer stained glass windows for both commercial and domestic properties.
