Keep Out Draughts And Stay Secure With A Brand New Door

Two of the biggest bugbears homeowners typically have with their traditional front doors are that they easily allow outdoor air to invade their hallway and/or they fail to provide reliable security.

In both instances the easiest way to rectify the problem is simple – install a brand new door.

You can count on a composite door

UPVC doors account for a large percentage of replacement residential door sales, but composite doors also make up a healthy share of UK door sales.

Their rising popularity can be put down to several factors:

1. A composite door is immensely tough as it is manufactured from a string of durable materials, including PVC, wood, insulating foam and GRP (glass reinforced plastic). The solid core makes them practically immovable when securely fastened and gives occupants added confidence when leaving their residence uninhabited.

2. Comprising all those materials in one door also makes a composite door tremendously energy efficient. They keep out the cold and retain much of the warmth produced by a boiler to keep hallways more comfortable and help reduce the cost of energy bills.

3. In comparison to a timber door, which demands attention every few months, maintenance of a composite door is virtually non-existent. A thorough wiping of the frame and glazing, and oiling of the hinges once a year should be enough. No tiresome treatment e.g. repainting is required.

4. The woodgrain effect makes a composite door look exactly like a timber door and they’re available in a wide choice of finishes. Traditional white is an obvious favourite, but you can even have a red, blue or green composite door if that’s what works best. Expect to find an eclectic range of designs with various glazing and hardware options.

5. The average lifespan of a composite door is around 30+ years, so you certainly get your money’s worth.
