Composite front doors have become increasingly popular in recent years, and for good reason.
These versatile and durable external doors offer a range of benefits that make them an excellent choice for homeowners looking to improve their property’s security, energy efficiency, and aesthetic appeal.
In this blog post, we’ll explore what composite doors are, their numerous advantages, and why they might be the perfect choice for your home.
What are Composite Doors?
Composite doors are a modern alternative to traditional timber doors, combining the best features of various materials to create a superior product. Typically, they consist of a solid timber or foam core surrounded by a durable Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) skin, which provides the look of wood without the maintenance issues associated with timber doors, as well as superior strength.
Benefits of Composite Doors
Security Features
One of the primary advantages of composite doors is their exceptional level of security. These external front doors are designed with utmost protection in mind, featuring multi-point locking systems and reinforced frames that make them incredibly difficult to breach. Many composite doors also come with additional security upgrades, such as anti-snap cylinders and laminated glass, providing homeowners with peace of mind.
Thermal Efficiency
Composite doors offer excellent thermal efficiency, helping to reduce energy bills and keep your home comfortable year-round. With their insulating core and weather-resistant seals, these doors effectively prevent heat loss and draughts, making them an energy-efficient choice for environmentally conscious homeowners.
Low Maintenance
Unlike timber doors, which require regular painting or varnishing, composite doors are incredibly low maintenance. The GRP skin is highly resistant to weathering, fading, and scratching, ensuring that your door looks great for years to come with minimal upkeep.
Durability and Weather Resistance
Composite doors are built to withstand the harshest weather conditions, making them an ideal choice for external front and back doors. Their robust construction ensures they won’t warp, crack, or swell like timber doors, maintaining their shape and functionality throughout their long life expectancy.
Aesthetic Appeal
With a wide range of colours and styles available, composite doors offer homeowners the opportunity to complement the look of their home. Whether you prefer a traditional wood-effect finish or a bold, contemporary colour, there’s a perfect door to suit every taste and property type.
