Composite doors have become one of the most popular front doors across Essex and Suffolk. But what makes them so popular, and what are they actually made of?
The word "composite" means a material made from two or more components which, combined, produce something with better characteristics than any component alone. A composite door is exactly that principle, applied to your front door.
At the centre sits a solid core, in quality doors, solid timber, providing the strength, rigidity and reassuring heft that make the door so secure. Around it, insulating layers deliver the thermal performance, keeping warmth in and cold out far more effectively than a hollow door ever could.
The outer skin is GRP, glass-reinforced plastic, a tough, weatherproof surface moulded with authentic woodgrain texture. It gives the door its timber looks while shrugging off what defeats real timber: no fading, cracking, warping or repainting, season after season.
A reinforced frame and multi-point locking complete the system.
The result is why composite doors lead the market: timber's beauty, none of its maintenance, and outstanding security and efficiency built in. See a composite door cross-section at our showroom, it's genuinely persuasive.
