The particulars of a composite door include a solid timber or high-density foam core, insulating foam, timber, UPVC and a GRP (glass reinforced plastic) skin. Secured into the robust frame is a multi-point lock.
As well as offering amazing strength, it has impressive thermal performance too and promises weatherproofing, all due to the combined constituents. Preserving a composite frame is no obstacle either.
25-35 years is the usual age range for a composite door that is built and installed to the gold standard and can resist the elements.
Should I Become The Owner Of One?
Your motivations for buying a replacement door will dictate this.
If security, energy efficiency and low maintenance is of utmost importance, we’d certainly recommend getting a composite door. While UPVC doors are cheaper, it merits paying a bit more for the glut of advantages offered.
Strength stands out as a major upside, which is attributed to the solid timber or engineered wood core, and the insulating foam or core material do the job of sustaining warmth and blocking draughts. At no time will the GRP skin become subject to warping or weathering.
Can It Reduce My Energy Bills?
Yes, and significantly so when you consider that a multi-layered composite door realises incredible insulation standards and, in the process, gets rid of draughts and cold air.
A separate noted benefit is enhanced security due to the tough frame and multi-point locking mechanism that runs along the frame and engages at several points.
The finish won’t display signs of wear and tear either because of the stringent procedure followed to fuse colour into the design.
At-A-Glance: The Overall Benefits
- Increased security – forced entries are highly unlikely to occur.
- Amplified comfort – raised warmth beyond just the hallway.
- Exceptional style – attractively finished and elegantly designed.
- Cheaper heating – you can stop over relying on your boiler.
- Low upkeep – wiping the frame down is enough to bring out its finish again.
