What Is The Best Composite Door?

Tags: ,

Composite front doors are a popular choice among homeowners in the UK due to their durability, energy efficiency, and aesthetic appeal. These doors are made from a combination of materials, including wood, PVC, and glass reinforced plastic, which makes them strong and resistant to weathering and warping. GRP is the same material used to make boats, so it is extremely durable.

What Is The Best Composite Door?

When it comes to composite doors prices, they can vary depending on the manufacturer, design, and size of the door. However, on average, composite front doors tend to be priced between £1,000 and £2,500 depending on the style, glazing, colour and specification.

Despite their cost, composite doors have become the most popular choice for UK homeowners due to their long-term benefits and aesthetic appeal. They are energy-efficient, which can help to reduce heating costs, high security and they also require less maintenance than traditional wooden doors.

When it comes to finding composite door suppliers and manufacturers, there are many options available in the UK. It is important to chose wisely as some doors have inherent defects. Some door brands have suffered with severe cracking and warping. These brands are known for their high-quality composite doors, however over time have been proven to fail. The reason for this is that whilst solid core doors sound great if the timber gets wet, normally due to water getting in around the letter plate or glazing, then that can cause them to warp and crack. Foam core doors, with a composite surround and high security reinforcement, such as those offered by Network Britannia Windows have been proven to be more durable.

When it comes to thermal efficiency our Signature composite door has been independently tested against a solid timber core composite door (48mm) and a timber panelled door (44mm). The results prove the doors provided by Network Britannia members are more than 17%+ more thermally efficient than both of these alternative doors.

When looking for a composite door supplier or manufacturer, it’s important to do your research and read reviews to ensure that you’re getting a product that will meet your needs and exceed your expectations. It’s also a good idea to visit showrooms to see the doors in person, and to get a better idea of the different styles, colours, and designs that are available.

In conclusion, composite front doors are a popular choice among UK homeowners due to their durability, energy efficiency and aesthetic appeal. Though they are more expensive than PVC doors, they are worth the investment as they require less maintenance and can reduce heating costs. Be careful when doing your research as solid core composite doors such as Rockdoor sound great, but may not last due to inherent defects.
