fitting external UPVC doors

I need to get a new UPVC back door to open outwards. The only doors available in DIY stores are doors that open inwards. Can you get outward opening back doors or is there any problem with fitting a UPVC door "inside out"!

Are you willing to replace the door and the frame?
If so, about 300 notes will get you a uPVC door from www.doorexpress.com (I've used them), and you can specify exact measurements, hinge-side, and open in/out. Pretyy much tailor-made.

Opening outwards is no problem, its just not common as people keep their doors dry!
