Composite doors are a great choice for those seeking external front doors with superior strength and durability.

Understanding Composite Doors: What Makes Them Special?

Composite doors stand out in the UK market today due to their unique construction and benefits. But what exactly sets them apart from traditional wooden doors or metal doors and uPVC alternatives?

The Composition and Features of Composite Doors

Composite front doors feature a robust construction with multiple layers of high-strength materials. The outer layer is coated in a GRP (glass-reinforced plastic) skin, known for its durability and authentic wood-effect finish. This GRP composite material, originally used in fishing boats, ensures that GRP composite doors, one of the strongest and most durable types of doors, don’t warp, crack, or visually degrade over time. This outer skin also offers excellent thermal insulation, making these doors ideal for maintaining a comfortable indoor environment.

The inner core of a composite door typically consists of a solid timber core or high-density PU foam, providing excellent insulation. This combination of materials results in a door that offers superior thermal efficiency and sound insulation compared to traditional wooden or metal doors.

Why Choose Composite Doors for Your Home?

Composite doors offer numerous advantages over traditional door types:

  • High Security: With multi-point locking systems and a robust build, composite doors provide the utmost protection for your home. A high security door cylinder ensures that your door meets the highest levels of security standards.
  • Energy Efficiency: The excellent thermal insulation properties help reduce energy bills by maintaining a consistent indoor temperature, potentially leading to lower energy costs.
  • Low Maintenance: Unlike wooden doors, composite doors require minimal upkeep to maintain their appearance and functionality, making them the perfect choice for busy homeowners.
  • Weather Resistant: Designed to withstand harsh conditions, including those near the North Sea, composite doors are a popular choice for coastal homes.
  • Versatile Designs: Available in a stunning range of composite door styles, colours, and finishes to suit any home. Whether you prefer a bold statement with a modern composite door or a classic look with a traditional design, you’ll find the perfect composite door in our comprehensive range of composite doors.
