There is an old saying that ‘You get what you pay for’ and that could not be more appropriate when it comes to the subject of exterior doors for your home.
You may be unaware of them, so here are some insights into why we recommend you consider a Door Stop composite door when it’s time to replace your doors.
What are composite doors made from?
Composite doors are made from a variety of materials, combined in perfect balance and bonded using the most modern techniques. The layering and glueing of the materials are done under extreme pressure and each element brings several amazing benefits with it.
1. Timber core gives a base of extreme strength and flexibility
2. Layers of foam and uPVC provide superb insulation
3. Glass-reinforced plastic (GRP) is a key element in their incredibly robust nature
All this is surrounded by a metal frame and the end result is the ultimate in security. It has the bonus effect of making your property look impressive and inviting to visitors and potential buyers.
Strength and security
Composite doors have a multi-point locking mechanism that makes them almost impervious to forced entry. The material itself offers unbeatable resilience and can endure almost any treatment and remain impenetrable.
Any intruder that thinks they can force their way through a Door Stop composite door is in for a long, fruitless task.
Reduced energy bills
Composite doors are completely weather resistant and superb at insulating your home. The compact layers make them exceptionally good at preventing any air or temperature transfer in either direction. This goes further than you might think towards reducing energy bills and efficiently maintaining your preferred temperature at all times.
Virtually zero maintenance
The most you will ever have to do to keep your composite door in tip-top condition is to give it an occasional wipe with a damp cloth. It really is as simple as that.
Composite doors are unaffected by sunlight or the worst weather nature can throw at them. Even when temperatures fluctuate from one extreme to the other, they remain unaffected.
How long do composite doors last?
Their longevity is truly exceptional and you can typically expect a brand-new composite door to last for at least 30 years. They will virtually pay for themselves in reduced energy bills during that time and still look as good as new when they’re done. Composite doors really are worth having.
Will a composite door match my traditional style?
Another amazing aspect of composite doors is that they can be made to match any style or period. Many are made to look like timber but the options for customising them are almost limitless. From the colour and appearance to custom etchings on the glazed panels, you can create the door to fit your home rather than the other way around.
We guarantee a perfect fit every time as each door is made to measure and designed to fit.
Are composite doors more expensive than other doors?
A composite door outperforms all other kinds of doors in every way imaginable but their superior construction does not come without an associated cost. They require a much more complex manufacturing process and higher-quality construction materials than other doors.
However, when you consider the energy-saving capabilities and extreme longevity of a composite door alone, they still represent fantastic value for money. They are unmatched at creating the best impression of your property and certainly add value if you are planning to sell.
