Composite doors are becoming an increasingly popular choice for homeowners looking to replace their existing front or back door. They offer a range of benefits over traditional timber doors, such as enhanced security, improved insulation, and a wide range of customisation options. In this blog post, we’ll look at what composite doors are, the advantages they offer, and how to choose the right one for your home.
1. What are Composite Doors?
Composite doors are a type of door made from a combination of materials, usually a mix of timber, uPVC and GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic). This combination makes the door more durable and secure than a traditional timber door, while also providing insulation benefits. Composite doors are available in a range of styles and colours and can be customised to suit the look and feel of your home.
2. What are the advantages of Composite Doors
Composite doors offer a range of advantages over traditional timber doors, making them an increasingly popular choice for homeowners. Some of the main benefits include:
- Enhanced Security: Composite doors are more secure than timber doors, as they are made from a combination of materials which makes them more resistant to forced entry.
- Improved Insulation: Composite doors are made from materials which provide better insulation than timber doors, helping to keep your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
- Customisable: Composite doors come in a range of styles and colours, so you can choose one that matches the look and feel of your home.
3. How to Choose the Right Composite Door
When choosing a composite door, there are a few things to consider. Firstly, you need to decide what style of door you want. Do you want a traditional or modern look? What colour do you want? You should also consider the security features of the door, such as the type of lock and the thickness of the door. Finally, you should consider the insulation benefits of the door, such as the type of insulation material used.
4. Which are the best composite door brands on the market?
We recommend the Bowater and Door-Stop ranges of composite back doors and composite front doors. At Leeds Composite Doors we believe that they offer the best combination of quality and value for all budgets.
5. How do you calculate and certify thermal efficiency?
Thermal efficiency is a measure of how well a door retains heat and insulates your home. The more thermally efficient your front and back doors are, the warmer your home will be. Investing in good quality external composite doors at your home in Leeds means you’ll cut draughts, lower your energy bills, and reduce your carbon footprint. As one of the best composite doors on the market for thermal efficiency, Door-Stop actually calculates and certifies the thermal performance of every door they produce, making them a great choice if you are concerned about environmental impact.
6. What is the lifetime cost of my composite door?
Research suggests that composite material products can last over 30 years. People tend to choose composite doors for their durability. Softwood doors, in comparison, last only 12 years. To work out the lifetime cost of a door, you simply need to add up how many doors you would need to buy over your lifetime. You can see therefore, that investing a durable and long-lasting material like composite doors means you’ll pay less over the longer term.
7. How can you guarantee technical standards?
All doors are sold by Leeds Composite Doors with the guarantee of meeting certain standards, but in practice they often fall short due to production and transportation processes. The only way to guarantee that every component meets the required standard is to fully manage the production and assembly process in-house. Bowater is known for designing technologically advanced and high specification composite doors. Bowater doors are made onsite entirely from components produced at the brand’s self-sufficient manufacturing facility. Bowater can therefore guarantee the quality and standard of every single door, even down to controlling the exact colour match from their own paint line.
