Composite Doors And The Associated Benefits Explained

UPVC doors and aluminium doors tell you exactly what they’re made from, but composite doors may leave you perplexed as to what they consist of – a mix of materials is the answer.

These materials happen to be a solid timber or high-density foam core, insulating foam, timber, UPVC and a GRP (glass reinforced plastic) skin. Incorporated into the meshed frame is a multipoint lock.

It’s no coincidence that composite doors are unbelievably tough, highly energy efficient and weather-resistant. Caring for a composite frame couldn’t be simpler either.

When built and installed to leading standards and weatherproofing, a composite door can last for about 25-35 years.

Will A Composite Door Be A Good Fit?

Only you can decide that, as it’s dependent on what you want a new front door to offer.

Cherish top-level security, energy efficiency and minimal upkeep? A composite door will fulfill all of that. Don’t be put off by the higher price of a composite solution compared to a UPVC design as its price accurately reflects its formidable performance.

Toughness is a central asset of a composite door and you can attribute it to the solid timber or engineered wood core. The heat retention comes from the insulating foam or core material. No warping or weathering will materialise due to the robust GRP skin.

Can It Reduce My Energy Bills?

A steep drop in energy costs is likely, as the multi-layered composite frame will restrict heat loss and refuse to let cold external air infiltrate your home interior.

Uplifted security is inevitable too, as the muti-point lock will keep the door engaged at several points around the frame, much to the disappointment of thieves.

You won’t discern any kind of ageing of the door, with the coloured finish formulated and applied to resist fading.
