What is a composite door?

Composite doors are comprised of different materials which combine to enhance the security and efficiency of each door. These elements are helped significantly by the thick cores, often made from materials such as timber or glass reinforced plastic (GRP). The doors also require little maintenance and will rarely show signs of fading, warping or cracking.

What are the advantages of a composite door?

The benefits of composite doors add up to a considerably long list. Typically, composite doors come out on top when compared to other door materials.

– Security – the aforementioned cores of the composite doors help to form a considerable barrier, often being up to twice as thick as other door options. For example, Solidor doors are home to a unique 48mm solid timber core which is also paired with the high-security Ultion locks for further safety.

– Customisation – another advantage that comes with composite doors is the wealth of customisation options available. From accessories to colours, there is a whole selection to choose from. The options available mean that West Midlands homeowners can design their composite doors to easily match their home’s aesthetic, or go for something completely different.

– Thermal efficiency – the insulating properties of the cores that make up composite doors are a key component of what makes composite doors so good when it comes to thermal efficiency. Also, given that composite doors are an ever-improving modern design, there are always new and innovative features being devised and introduced to further enhance their performance.

– Great front and back door options – composite doors present an incredible range of options for both front and back doors. Composite entrance doors are arguably the most secure around and are focused on being an impenetrable barrier to your home. There is a great range of composite back door styles too, such as stable doors that present a strong amount of versatility.

What is the difference between a composite door and a normal door?

Composite doors are truly unique when compared to other types of doors and have a number of differences. For one, a composite door is considerably easier to maintain over its lifespan than a timber door. All you will typically need to do to ensure the aesthetics of your composite door are retained through the years is a simple wipe down every so often.

Also, while composite doors are generally more expensive than uPVC doors, there is still considerable value for money to be had. This is because they have a good lifespan combined with a low amount of maintenance, as well as market-leading designs that provide fantastic results in thermal efficiency and security.
