We are wanting buy a new external kitchen door and are going for a full glass (pattern 10?) design as our kitchen is pretty dark. I would prefer a solid wooden frame but the boss is worried about the door swelling and sticking etc. If we go for a engineered door I am worried about it delaminating! The kind of thing we have been looking at is:

Note that I wouldn't have minded having a go at making the door myself but it has been vetoed on time grounds.
We don't need super ridiculous U-values but would like something around 1.6 and this seems reasonably achievable.
Does anyone have any recommendations for companies, or what to look for and avoid?
Thanks.
