However, at the same time you still want something that\u2019ll be warm and inviting, looking great all year round. That&#8217;s where a composite door might be the answer.<\/p>\n<p>In recent years, a new front door has come to the forefront of the market. One that looks fantastic and will ensure your home remains safe and secure. This is the composite door &#8211; created from a range of materials intended to avoid the problems of other installations.<\/p>\n<h3>Benefits of the composite door<\/h3>\n<p>There are plenty of advantages to the composite door:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Composite doors are extremely sturdy because of a 1.7-inch subframe and an outer layer of hardwood<\/li>\n<li>The solid outer frame can be made of uPVC or galvanised steel for extra sturdiness<\/li>\n<li>Because of the different materials used, the composite door is resistant to weathering and won\u2019t warp, crack or peel. It\u2019s also resistant to impacts<\/li>\n<li>Composite doors are generally maintenance free and won\u2019t need to be repainted on a regular basis, unlike wooden doors<\/li>\n<li>They\u2019re very thermal efficient because of a polyurethane foam core which is injected into the unit. This means you can reduce energy bills and stay warm and cosy<\/li>\n<li>There\u2019s a huge range of colours and designs to suit your taste and personality. Whether you choose a traditional black or white, or perhaps a bold red, you\u2019ll have a brilliant finish.<\/li>\n<li>The composite door will provide your home with the latest security. Locks are police approved and anti-drill, anti-pick, and anti-snap.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Disadvantages of composite doors<\/h3>\n<p>There are some disadvantages to the composite door, so you will have to decide whether or not the benefits outweigh the drawbacks:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Composite doors tend to be one of the more expensive options you can choose from<\/li>\n<li>The paint on cheaper composite doors might start to flake after a few years<\/li>\n<li>If you dent a cheap composite door, it can be very difficult or impossible to smooth them out<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>How much do composite doors cost?<\/h3>\n<p>Composite doors vary in price significantly depending on the style and colour you choose. Of course, there are then accessories to decide on such as glazing, letterboxes, knockers and numbers. This all adds up and will determine the final price you need to pay.<\/p>\n<p>For a basic composite installation you\u2019re looking at somewhere from \u00a3700 up, with more expensive designs setting you back around \u00a3700-\u00a31000.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Composite doors are an up-and-coming front door option.
