Your front door is the first handshake your Birmingham home offers the world. It has to look great, keep out the Midlands weather and deter unwelcome guests—all while fitting your budget. CountBricks combines local craftsmanship with AI-powered estimating to deliver front doors Birmingham residents rave about.
Curb Appeal – Estate agents agree that a high-quality entry can add instant value to a property, especially in popular neighbourhoods like Harborne and Moseley.

The West Midlands sees more than 120 rainy days a year and winter temperatures frequently hover near freezing. That moisture-plus-cold combo makes heat loss through a poorly sealed doorway a costly problem. CountBricks specialises in specifying doors with the right thermal and moisture-resistant properties for each postcode.
• Core Science – CountBricks AI cross-references U-values, air infiltration ratings and local weather data to recommend the optimal core construction, be it insulated foam, engineered timber or composite hybrid.
• Precision Fit – Our blueprint takeoff tool calculates frame tolerances down to the millimetre, reducing on-site trimming that can compromise vapour barriers.
• Advanced Seals – We stock multi-fin gasket systems proven to retain elasticity after 10,000 open-close cycles, perfect for busy family homes.
During a whole-home retrofit, CountBricks clients Mr. and Mrs. Green targeted a net-zero energy goal. Our AI suggested an aluminium-clad timber door with a 0.78 W/m²K U-value. The AI estimate integrated airtightness tapes, insulated thresholds and labour. Post-install thermal imaging showed a 62 % reduction in heat leakage compared to the original hardwood slab door.
