What Are Composite Doors?
Composite doors are an innovative solution for homeowners seeking durability, style, and energy efficiency in their front doors.
A composite door is made by combining multiple materials like wood, uPVC, insulating foam, and a GRP (glass-reinforced plastic) skin.
This ingenious mix ensures they outperform traditional timber and uPVC doors in style, durability, and thermal efficiency.
Unlike traditional timber doors, which can warp or require frequent maintenance, or uPVC doors that may lack strength, composite doors deliver a unique combination of strength, longevity, and aesthetic appeal.
They’re engineered to blend the beauty of wood with the modern benefits of advanced materials.
Key Benefits of Composite Doors
Composite doors have become the go-to choice for modern homes across the UK, here’s why that’s the case:
1. Unmatched Security
Our composite front doors come with multi-point locking systems and reinforced cores, making them a top choice for home security.
These features are designed to deter even the most determined intruders, ensuring your home and family remain safe.
2. Energy Efficiency
With U-values as low as 1.4 or better, composite doors can keep your home cosy and your energy bills low. The dual weather seals and thermal barriers mean your home stays warm in winter and cool in summer.
3. Durability and Low Maintenance
Unlike timber doors, composite doors won’t warp, crack, or fade.
A simple wipe-down can keep them looking pristine for decades, meaning you get easy long lasting kerb appeal!
4. Aesthetic Appeal
From traditional to ultra-modern, composite doors offer almost limitless colour options and styles.
Fancy a black composite front door for a bold statement? No problem.
Or why don’t you mix it up with a contrasting frame colour—your door, your rules!
