    We have a wooden front door, with a stable style door, and 2 glass panels either side.

    Its isn't the best in terms of keeping out the cold, although its on a porch and not the house itself.

    I was wondering roughly how much it would cost to change the whole unit to PVC? It measured 2.15m wide x 1.6m high.

    Something along these lines

    1. If you don’t heat the porch, should you be changing the inner door to one with better thermal properties ?
    2. 1000-5000€ Cost depends on thermal performance, security, etc etc

    Thermally: Look for something with an overall u-value below 1.0wm2k (passive standard is 0.8wm2k)

    Looking for something the exact same myself hoping a few more people can add a rough price either upvc or composite.

    A composite Palladio door with 2 sidelights would be around €2250k. Palladio are the best composite door on the market.

    This. Go composite for security, finish, and termal effectiveness.

    I priced a Palladio door recently, and although I can’t recall the exact measurements, I’m pretty sure they were bigger than what you’ve given. It’s about 2.5 m sq I think- with a bigger panel at each side than in your photo, and a panel across the top also.
    The price was €3200, I think!

    My mother got a San Marco Palladio door with Side light 1.5mtrs(door 1m sidelight .5m) and a Dublin Palladio door for the back no sidelight for €3600.
