We can all agree that the two main functions of the front doors are to prevent intruders from entering our homes and at the same time they must also provide excellent insulation and prevent the outside weather conditions affecting the inside temperature. uPVC front doors do an excellent job in these two areas, but in my opinion, a composite door is even better, especially in the security department.
People often get confused about what a composite door is and what makes it different from uPVC doors, considering both types of doors look quite similar. But as much as they look alike on the outside, they are actually very much different on the inside. Composite doors usually have a solid wood interior that gives them excellent insulation properties and on the other hand it makes them extremely safe and secure. uPVC doors are usually hollow inside and filled with a polystyrenes product for insulation. The insulation might be great, but we can all agree that the solid composite doors are better as far as safety goes.
Not only are composite doors very safe, they look great as well. They have a grained finish that is designed to make them look very much like the attractive wooden doors. The selection of different colours and styles is also quite wide, so you can pick the doors that look exactly like you had always pictured your front would look like one day. You can also choose whether you want your composite doors to be solid or glazed.
Composite doors tend to be a bit more expensive than the ordinary uPVC doors, but if you shop around and look for doors on sale, you can find high quality items for an excellent price. Just plan ahead, don’t be an impulsive shopper and you will have no problems finding great looking and secure doors, that will also be quite affordable at the same time.
