The Advantages Of A Composite Front Door
In some cultures the colour and design of your front door is symbolic. Your front door is the entry point into your life and it can represent energy, peace, welcome and harmony. Even if you don’t care for symbolism, your front door does play a major role in the aesthetic appeal and security of your home.
A composite door will give you both. Made from a combination of materials including PVC, timber cores, insulating foam and GRP, composite doors are built to last and can be designed for any kind of property.
Here’s a look at the advantages of choosing a composite front door.
Aesthetics
Composite doors come in a range of colours and designs that perfectly match your property, no matter what it’s age. They’re available in a realistic wood grain effect so you’ll have the aesthetic appearance of a timber door with the added qualities of a composite door. Victorian 2 paned doors are traditional and a popular choice. Stable doors provide added security for children and pets while allowing you to open up and enjoy fresh air. French styled composite doors add a contemporary touch creating a fusion of modern and period looks that blend in well with traditional features.
Security
When it comes to home security, a composite door is the best there is. Tough materials ensure it’s impact, crowbar and fire resistant. Multi-point locking systems are certified by the police approved, Secured by Design so it’s practically impossible to force entry.
Eco-Friendly
The timber elements of a composite door are sourced from sustainable sources while the foam insulating layer and GPR properties ensure a draught and weather proof seal. Panes are double or triple glazed and provide an excellent degree of thermal insulation so your home will be warmer and your energy bills with be reduced.
Composite doors create an effective sound barrier and are perfect for high traffic areas that are affected by noise pollution.
Maintenance
Your composite door will never need re-painting or varnishing and the colour won’t fade over time. It requires very little maintenance and can be cleaned with a simple swipe of a damp cloth. Unlike solid timber doors, a composite door won’t swell or shrink with differing temperatures and won’t warp over time.
