What are Composite Doors | SAJE UPVC

Welcome to SAJE UPVC, where we pride ourselves on enhancing your home with the finest doors and windows in the UK. Today, we’re delving into the world of composite doors, a choice that combines aesthetics, efficiency, and security into one. If you’re contemplating an upgrade or installation, understanding what sets composite doors apart is essential.

What Are Composite Doors?

Composite doors are renowned for their robust construction, combining multiple materials to achieve superior strength, durability, and thermal efficiency. Composite doors differ from wooden or uPVC doors. This blend creates a door tough against intruders, weather-resistant, and great at heat retention.

Benefits of Composite Doors

• Enhanced Security: Their robust construction provides unparalleled security, ensuring your home remains a sanctuary. The combination of materials used in their manufacture makes the door not easily breached, offering peace of mind to homeowners concerned about break-ins and intrusions.
• Superior Insulation: The insulating foam core nestled within plays a pivotal role in their ability to retain heat and block out the cold. This insulation is key to reducing energy consumption, as it minimises the need for heating, thereby contributing to significantly lower energy bills.
• Durability: Specifically engineered to endure the unpredictable British weather, they excel in resisting common afflictions such as fading, warping, and cracking. This resilience ensures that your door remains in pristine condition for years, requiring minimal maintenance.
• Aesthetic Versatility: One of the most appealing aspects is their aesthetic versatility. Whether your home is a traditional Victorian terrace or a modern new build, the wide array of colours and finishes available means you can select a door that perfectly complements your home’s style, enhancing its overall curb appeal.

How Are Composite Doors Made?

The manufacturing process of a composite door is intricate, involving the pressing and gluing of various materials under high pressure to form a solid, unified structure. The outer skin, typically crafted from Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP), bestows the door with its exceptional weather-resistant qualities, ensuring it can withstand even the most severe British weather conditions without deteriorating.

Inside, a dense, insulating foam fills the core, playing a crucial role in the door’s thermal efficiency by keeping homes warm in winter and cool in summer. Surrounding this, a robust material, often timber, reinforces the frame to provide unparalleled strength and security. This combination of materials not only ensures the door’s durability and security but also contributes to its energy efficiency, making it an ideal choice for environmentally conscious homeowners seeking to reduce their energy consumption.

Maintenance and Care

Homeowners seeking durability without constant upkeep celebrate composite doors for their low maintenance requirements, making them an ideal choice.

A simple wipe with a damp cloth usually keeps them looking pristine with minimal effort. Their robust materials eliminate the need for frequent repainting or varnishing, unlike wooden doors, offering a practical, hassle-free option for modern life. This ease of care extends the life of the door and ensures it remains an attractive feature of your home.

An occasional wash with warm soapy water and light oiling of hinges and locks enhance the door’s longevity and performance. Following these maintenance steps ensures your composite door remains a stylish, secure entrance for years, a smart investment for busy homes.
