Composites are now the most common front door installation in the UK, taking over 50% of the market. But why have they become so popular, leaping ahead of uPVC and timber replacements?<\/p>\n

In fact, this question is relatively simple to answer. If you look at timber front doors to start with, they can be expensive.<\/p>\n

On top of this they\u2019re prone to both warping and twisting, whilst needing a great deal of maintenance to keep them in good shape. As such, your time and money is better spent elsewhere.

\nuPVC doors are the opposite though, being reasonably inexpensive and very easy to keep clean. As well as this they\u2019re thermally efficient and draught free.<\/p>\n

Their greatest problem is strength and keeping intruders out of your home. So whilst you benefit from a cheaper installation, you don\u2019t get the security your home deserves.<\/p>\n

Why composite doors?<\/h2>\n

So we\u2019ve had a look at why timber and uPVC front doors aren\u2019t all they\u2019re cracked up to be. But why should you instead opt for a composite front door<\/a>?<\/p>\n

The first benefit of a composite door is you can get an appeal that looks great with your home and suits your preference too. There are a fantastic range of colours and designs available, including woodgrain effects which look similar to the real thing.<\/p>\n

Composite front doors are also extremely low maintenance. They\u2019re built to not crack, rot, warp or twist, instead requiring virtually no maintenance over their lifetime.<\/p>\n

Then you have the excellent thermal efficiency and security benefits. Composite doors lock more heat in your home with an insulated core, helping to reduce your energy bills. Then, with a Glass Reinforced Plastic skin, the door won\u2019t be damaged by impacts. It\u2019s this brilliant design that gives the door weather resistance as well.<\/p>\n

Modern locking mechanisms will keep you safe and secure too. In fact, with a composite door you can have a lock that\u2019s anti-snap, anti-bump, anti-drill and anti-pick. Look for a Secured by Design model which meets stringent British standards.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s actually easy to see why you should be considering a composite if you\u2019re interested in a replacement front door. They\u2019re actually cheaper than you would probably expect<\/a> and will last for decades, giving your home much needed security, protection and insulation.<\/p>\n
