The Comp Door Bedford, featuring full-length glazing that seamlessly complements both Art Deco 1930s homes and modern contemporary architecture.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n Introduction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Bedford<\/a> goes to genuine lengths \u2014 literally \u2014 with full-length glazing that runs the height of the door. Comp Door<\/a> specifically positions it as working well with both art deco and modern architectural styles, which is a slightly unusual double-billing for a single design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s worth a look if your property has either of those characters and you want a door that feels period-appropriate to art deco detailing without looking out of place on a more contemporary build.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What Makes the Bedford Suit Two Different Eras<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Full-length, clean-lined glazing happens to be a hallmark of both art deco design and contemporary architecture, which is exactly why the Bedford<\/a> bridges the two so comfortably \u2014 the same proportions read as period-appropriate against 1930s brickwork and equally at home against a modern render finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That dual-era design sits on the same construction as every Comp Door<\/a> style: a 48mm solid timber core, CoolSkin technology to resist warping, and an auto-fire multi-point locking system with an anti-snap ABS cylinder as standard, backed by a \u00a32,000 homeowner security guarantee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Glazing and Colour Options<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Bedford<\/a> is available with 13 decorative glass options \u2014 Aurora, Greenwich, Kensington, Linear, Matrix, Modena, Simplicity, Reflections, Murano, Horizon, Mayfair, Victorian Border and Beaumont.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Colours run to White, Foiled White, Rosewood, Schwarzbraun, Oak, Anthracite Grey, Cream, French Grey and Agate Grey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Seen a Similar Style Elsewhere? Here’s How the Bedford Compares<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
If full-length glazing with a period-appropriate feel is what brought you here, the Bedford’s<\/a> closest equivalents are the Solidor Sorrento and the Endurance Kuppe \u2014 both able to suit art deco or modern properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Bedford<\/a> shares Comp Door’s<\/a> 48mm timber core and CoolSkin construction, so if a Sorrento or Kuppe was on your shortlist, it’s worth comparing the Bedford<\/a> directly before deciding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Arched, Stable and French Door Options<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Bedford<\/a> offers flexible layout options for standard and double entryways, coming fully available as an Arched Door for shaped overhead openings and as a double French Door<\/a> setup for wider entrances. Please note that the Bedford<\/a> is not currently offered in a Stable Door format\u2014if a dual-opening stable layout is essential for your home, our design team can guide you toward matching alternative styles in the Comp Door<\/a> range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
