I need a new composite door. How do I choose the best one for my home?


As the central point of entry to your house, your front door shouldn’t just be practical and inviting, but should also be strong and secure—and still make your visitors feel welcome on their arrival. The increasingly popular uPVC doors are cheaper and have lower maintenance costs; however, they can look cheap. Glass or wood may solve the aesthetics issue but they too have their drawbacks. For instance, glass doors can be broken easily and will not provide you with adequate security against burglars. Wooden doors on the other hand, require a lot of maintenance for years—they require regular painting and varnishing to keep them resistant to weather elements and to prevent warping and rotting, all of which may necessitate replacement. So the task of choosing a new door type for your house seems to be too much, whatever decision you make.

Currently, however, there is a new door type that seems to solve all your worries; it is sturdy, durable, safe and can be aesthetically manipulated to match your preferences. These are composite doors. Composite doors consist of frames that are made of a number of various materials and designed in a way to correct all the flaws and faults of single material doors. This may sound too good to be true, but thanks to the shrewd planning and construction on the designers’ part, these versatile doors have many appealing benefits:

·         Combination of materials makes them high resistant to all major weathering-based damages such as twisting, warping, and cracking.

·         Most composite doors are injected with layers of thermal insulation (polyurethane foam core) that are 100 percent chlorofluorocarbon free. So you benefit from warm, cosy house and remain environment –conscious as well.

·         Composite doors can be ordered in a wide range of colours and designs to suit the design of your home and your local neighbourhood.

·         Outer frames are made of uPVC and can include double glazing or galvanised steel reinforcements on the edges to provide extra stability.

·         Your strong and aesthetically pleasing composite doors also provide you with an opportunity to revamp your home security as they can be fitted with standard Yale locks to prevent unnecessary break-ins.
