A composite door is a modern alternative to a traditional uPVC front or back door. It is manufactured using a combination of high quality materials, which are compressed and bonded together under intense heat and pressure. The result is a strong, durable and beautiful door that looks like natural wood but requires less maintenance. Composite doors are also more energy efficient than standard uPVC front and back doors as they have an insulated foam core. This means they will keep your home warmer all winter long.
One of the main reasons for the popularity of composite doors is their durability and security. They are sturdier than most standard doors and have an extra locking point, making them more secure against break ins. They are also windproof and won’t warp in the sun or swell when it rains. They are available in a huge range of styles, colours and finishes so there is sure to be something to suit your property.
Another reason why composite doors are so popular is that they require very little maintenance. While they still need to be cleaned regularly, this can be done simply with a damp cloth. This is in contrast to traditional timber doors, which need to be treated with a variety of stains and paints to protect them from weathering and damage.
With the growing emphasis on energy conservation and efficiency, composite doors have been designed with this in mind. They have an insulated core, which makes them great at retaining heat and reducing heat loss, meaning your home will stay warm all winter long.
They are also weather proof, which makes them a great choice for the UK climate. Unlike uPVC, which can become damaged by extreme weather conditions, composite doors are tough and will stand up to all types of weather. In fact, they have been tested to withstand a force of up to 44kg, which is around three times more than a standard uPVC door.
