Top 10 Reasons to Buy a Composite Door
Strength - Composite doors are made from UPVC, fibreglass, Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) and aluminium and the combination of these means that the entire door is strong from edge to edge and top to bottom; no weak points for a burglar to target.
Low maintenance - Unlike the traditional external timber door which needs regular sanding and painting or varnishing to keep it looking as good as new, the composite door needs no maintenance and can be washed with soap and water to remove any dirt or grime.
The GRP coating on a composite door means it remains scratch and dent free even under rough treatment.
Good looking - composite doors have succeeded the UPVC door in that they are available in a huge range of colours, designs, styles and finishes, meaning your home doesn't have to put up with a high gloss white front door if what you'd prefer is a wood effect red door, glass panelled door or any other design or colour.
Weather and draft proof - the composite nature of the door, the snug and exact fit into the door frame and the sealing technology means the great British wind and rain can't get through, meaning you won't have to worry about damp problems or cold drafts, especially if you couple a composite door with double glazed windows.
Advanced locking systems - unlike the wooden door which traditionally had one or two locks half way up the door, the composite door has a locking system that runs the height of the door, making it completely secure and not creating or leaving any weak points.
Huge range of choices to suit any tastes / budget - Composite doors can be high gloss, matt, wood effect or glass panelled and they come in over twenty different colours from wood browns to pillar box red, grass green and sky blue so whatever suits your personality and look of your home is available.
Durable - They are built to last and the GRP coating means they stay looking as good as new for a long time.
GRP is scratch and impact resistant so even if you're moving in and the door gets bashed about, it'll stay looking the way you bought it.
Bespoke design options - Not only do you have a huge choice of colours but there are also bespoke panelling options, decorative glazing options and stable doors are also available in composite.
Easy to fit yourself or quick to have fitted - some companies offer a DIY and DVD service and are confident that if you choose this option you'll find it quick and easy to fit your own composite door.
These companies also offer a fitting service and the speed of this also proves that a composite door is simple to install.
Great insulator - just like double glazing, composite doors by their very nature keep wind, rain and noise out and your valuable heat in, meaning you could save money on your heating bills.
