What are composite doors?
GRP Composite doors are made of a selection of materials including a timber core, UPVC and internal insulation to name a few. Each material is chosen for its specific merits and pressed and glued together to make one of the strongest and most durable door types on the market.
Why choose a composite door?
The main reasons for choosing composite for your front or back door are:
1. Security
Highly secure, composite doors can incorporate steel reinforcement and include the most secure Secured by Design locking systems, along with the option for keyless Smart Locks. Any glass fitted will be laminated, providing a further level of security.
2. Thermal Efficiency
Composite doors are usually 44-48mm thick, which is considerably thicker than 28mm UPVC doors. They are also built with insulating materials inside, keeping the heat in and cold air out. This increased level of energy efficiency helps to reduce your energy bills.
3. Individuality
There are a multitude of door styles, designs and colours including black and white to choose from. You can make your composite door design as individual as you are!
4. Kerb appeal
If you’re thinking of selling your home, or just making some enhancements, a composite door is the perfect way to add a new look and make your home stand out.
5. Long-lasting
Composite doors have an average life span of 30 years and are less likely to warp, rot or fade. Our composite doors are all made in the UK from high quality materials.
6. Low Maintenance
Composite doors are easy to maintain and often only require a quick clean and oiling of hinges.
7. Value for Money
Due to being more energy efficient than the UPVC version, composite door prices work out to be comparatively cheaper over their life span. You are also more likely to need to replace a UPVC door, so it’s worth investing in a composite one.

These side panels come in a variety of designs including full composite panel, full glass, or half and half. There are also several glass designs to choose from.
