The Appeal of Contemporary Composite Doors: A Stylish Choice for Any Entryway
Your front door makes a lasting impression. It’s the first thing visitors see, and it plays a significant role in your home’s kerb appeal. At Amazing Glazing, we’ve seen a growing number of Kent homeowners choosing contemporary composite doors for their entrances.
Here’s why these versatile doors have become so popular, and why they might be the right choice for your home.
What Are Composite Doors?
Composite doors are made from multiple materials layered together to create a strong, durable entry door. They feature a solid timber core, surrounded by insulating materials, and finished with a weather-resistant GRP (glass-reinforced plastic) skin. This combination offers the visual appeal of timber with significantly improved security, insulation and longevity.
Why Are Composite Doors Growing in Popularity?
The rise in popularity of contemporary composite doors isn’t surprising when you consider what they offer. Unlike traditional wooden doors that need regular maintenance or uPVC doors that can lack character, style, and weight, composite doors give you the best of both worlds.
Homeowners choose composite doors for their style, security, and strength. They’re made from a mix of materials, including a solid timber core and a tough outer skin, which gives them a reassuring weight and makes them harder to break through.
With a wide range of colours, glazing options, and finishes to choose from, it’s easy to find a design that suits your home.
They’re also great at keeping the heat in and the cold out. The layered design helps improve energy efficiency, while the weatherproof outer coating protects against warping, fading, and rot.
They’re efficient, secure, stylish, and built to last.
Amazing Glazing’s Composite Door Range
At Amazing Glazing, our contemporary composite doors are designed to suit any Kent home. Our GRP composite doors come with several key benefits:
Design Options
We stock a huge range of front door styles to suit different property types and improve the visual appearance of your entrance. Whether you want something traditional with Georgian-style glass panels or a more modern, minimalist design, we have options to match your taste.
Our composite doors feature high-quality glass designs that can be customised to your preference. From frosted privacy glass to decorative patterns, the glass elements can be tailored to complement the overall look of your door.
Colour Choices
Gone are the days when front doors were limited to a handful of colours. Our composite doors come in a vast palette of shades, including:
- Classic options like black, beige, white, and dark blue
- Contemporary greys and greens
- Warm timber looks like rosewood and golden oak
- Distinctive shades of red and bright blue
The colour won’t fade or need repainting, thanks to the hard-wearing GRP outer layer.
Materials and Construction
What sets our composite doors apart is their construction. Each door has a solid timber core that provides excellent insulation and sound dampening. The GRP outer skin resists scratches, dents and weathering far better than painted wood or uPVC.
Our doors don’t warp or twist with temperature changes, which means they stay weathertight year-round. This solid construction also makes them exceptionally difficult to break through, providing better security and complete peace of mind.
Energy Efficiency
All our composite doors achieve A-rated energy efficiency as standard. The combination of the insulating core and weather-tight seals means they’re excellent at keeping warmth in during winter and heat out during summer.
Low Maintenance
Perhaps the biggest day-to-day benefit is the minimal upkeep needed. Unlike wooden doors, there’s no need for regular sanding, painting or varnishing. Our composite doors won’t rot, rust or deteriorate, even in harsh weather conditions.
A Smarter Choice for Style and Security
A contemporary composite door from Amazing Glazing offers the perfect blend of style, security and practicality for your home’s entry door.
They’re also being considered far more often by homeowners as great back doors, too. We recently wrote a blog post all about this new trend.
