What is a composite door and how is it made?

The 44mm thick composite door leaf is comprised of high-density polyurethane foam, along with a timber sub-frame for extra strength. Aluminium inserts are also used on both sides to prevent the door from warping or bowing excessively. The doors are then finished off with a GRP (glass reinforced plastic) outer skin, which is completely immune to sun fade and bleaching. These high impact durable skins are injected with a 'through colour' process to ensure that no scratches or blemishes are visible.

Both sides of the door has a 2.5mm grp (glass reinforced plastic) woodgrain outerskin that requires very little maintenance - only an occasional wipe clean with a damp cloth will keep the door looking like new and it will never require painting.

Composite doors are made from a variety of materials including upvc, timber and fiberglass. The most common materials used are high-density foam, upvc and timber as they are strong and durable. Fiberglass is also a popular choice, as it is resistant to moisture and rot. Composite front doors have now become the preferred choice of entrance doors for many people due to the major advantages that composite doors have over the alternative wooden doors, steel doors and upvc doors.

What are the benefits and advantages of composite doors?

Composite doors are exceptionally strong, offer high security, easy to maintain, provide excellent thermal efficiency with a lifespan of at least 35* years and the general look and feel of a composite door make it the most popular external door choice on the market.

Boast a timber grain effect

Someone clever once said that quality is in the detail. So what does that tell us about plain, white polystyrene-filled panel doors? The timber effect grain of one of our doors gives a rich, classic style to your house – and a very warm welcome home. Now that is clever.

The edges

The hinge edge of your door has a PVC edging. Then we cut through the edging so that whichever hinge you selected sits neatly inside the edge of your door.

To make the door super-strong, the lock edge has been fitted with a full length of 4mm thick, powder coated aluminium lock strip. Then your preferred lock sits flush inside your door.

Reglazable

Making a door to just hold the glass is easy. But have you ever thought about what happens if the glass unit breaks down in that composite door you fitted?

Our unique and patented glazing cassette can be removed from the inside to let you simply change the glass and reuse the cassette. You won’t need a new door because it has been damaged whilst trying to follow impossible deglazing knacks and techniques! All our grp composite doors are reglazeable.
