Explaining Composite Doors And The Benefits Of Them

Any front or back door dubbed ‘composite’ refers to it being manufactured using a series of materials, rather than consisting of just one constituent e.g. UPVC or aluminium.

The raft of materials include a solid timber or high-density foam, insulating foam, timber, UPVC and a GRP (glass reinforced plastic) skin, and composite doors have an affixed multi-point lock.

Collectively, they arm a composite door with remarkable toughness and give this weatherproofing solution impressive insulation abilities. Caring after the composite frame couldn’t be easier.

The average life expectancy is 25-35 years and this is assuming that the door is professionally crafted, skillfully installed and offers reliable weatherproofing.

Will My Home Suit A Composite Door?

To answer that, it helps if you have a fixed idea of what you want a replacement entryway to deliver.

Coveting a secure door that’s energy efficient and low maintenance? Composite doors certainly meet that criteria. Although more costly than UPVC doors, their overall performance warrants the extra bit of cash.

A solid timber or engineered wood core are architects of a composite door’s strength and the insulating foam or core material contributes to the suppressing of warmth and abolition of draughts. The GRP skin will ensure that warping and weathering are both resisted.

Is It Going To Reduce My Energy Bills?

High-class insulation will prompt a noticeable reduction in heating usage and energy costs thanks to the killing off of heat loss and cold air, which is what you get from a multi-layered frame.

Security will be heightened too, as the multi-point lock will engage at various points, making a break-in almost impossible to pull off.

The coloured finish is fused into the frame so that it never displays signs of ageing or commands repainting in the future.
