Browse Forums Windows & Doors Re: Front door question 7Nov 22, 2010 11:56 am I had to specify with my door that I wanted frosted glass, otherwise it would have been the default (clear). It's the same with bathroom and toilet windows. As others have said check your contract. In any event it's easy enough to get obscuring film placed over clear glass if you forgot to specify what you wanted. Depends how much privacy you want from those that knock on your door Re: Front door question 8Nov 24, 2010 8:17 pm Thanks for the replies. I will be getting the solicitor to have a quick look through the contract to check the specifics.. On a side note, does anyone have their contracts with them? I thought the solicitor was meant to hold onto them..

I thought the solicitor was meant to hold onto them.. No way, if you want, a solicitor can look over them but you are supposed to keep a copy. I don't know how many times I have gone back to it to check exactly what I signed for! Re: Front door question 12Jan 09, 2011 8:22 pm seems like alot of hate towards us builders!! just check the door schedule on the plan that will determine what the builder is required to supply. you don't have to talk to your solicitor every time there is a problem either, just ask the builder i'm sure they are able to help you in any way they can Re: Front door question 13Jan 09, 2011 8:28 pm oh and also, im unsure weather entrance doors come standard with frosted glass, but if it a custom door then it could have been fitted Re: Front door question 14Jan 09, 2011 8:33 pm alfy Thanks for the replies. I will be getting the solicitor to have a quick look through the contract to check the specifics.. On a side note, does anyone have their contracts with them? I thought the solicitor was meant to hold onto them.. I think the first question is: What did you specify you wanted? Then, what is in your contract? You dont need a solicitor to tell you what's in your contract. You can have a look, then contact your builder if it is incorrect, and they will replace the door. Did you ask for clear or frosted glass? Re: Front door question 15Jan 09, 2011 8:36 pm yeap - I'm a bit confused as why you need a solicitor to look over your addenda or schedule whatever is called in your area and check if the builder installed the right doors as selected at your pre-start. It's a simple process of informing your site supervisor or liaison person of the mistake.
