We currently have a uPVC porch with no door between the porch and the house.
Next year we are looking at replacing this with (hopefully) a brick built porch built to PD.
What I am unclear on is what the door between the porch and house is for, is it for security purposes or for thermal efficiency?
If it's for security will we have to have an external grade front door with all the normal locks and such-like?
Or will we be able to get away with a set of sliding patio doors?
---------
Or, seeing as we currently have no door, could we get away with changing our 'front extension' to a brick built one with no internal door?
