Why Composite Doors are a Homeowner's Best Friend

Strong, secure, low maintenance and endlessly customisable. Here is why so many homeowners are choosing composite front doors.

Composite doors have become a popular choice among discerning homeowners. Known for their robustness and versatility, they offer a blend of function and style that's hard to match. But what exactly makes them a homeowner's best friend?

Robust construction

Composite doors are engineered to last. Our Solidor doors are 48mm thick, with a 44mm solid timber core wrapped in a 2mm through-colour skin. The result is a door that resists warping, fading and peeling, and keeps its good looks for years.

Enhanced security

Safety is a top concern for every homeowner. Composite doors are fitted with multi-point locking systems, and every door we install uses the Avantis lock, one of the most secure on the market. A cylinder guard and further security upgrades are available for extra peace of mind.

Aesthetic appeal

With over 20 colours, realistic woodgrain finishes and a wide choice of glass and hardware, there's a design to suit every home, from traditional cottages to contemporary new builds. Our online door designer lets you customise every detail so your door complements your home's character.

Energy efficiency

A well-fitted composite door helps keep the warmth in and the cold out. The solid timber core is highly thermally efficient, and our installers weatherproof and draught-seal every door they fit.

Low maintenance

Say goodbye to sanding and repainting. Because the colour runs all the way through the skin, a simple wipe down is usually all it takes to keep your door looking its best.

Weather resistance

Whether it's the summer sun or a winter storm, composite doors stand firm. Our doors are rigorously tested to withstand harsh conditions and heavy rainfall, so your entrance looks inviting come rain or shine.

The verdict

From their durable construction and security to their style and efficiency, composite doors tick all the right boxes for a home improvement investment. Ready to explore? Browse our door range, see example prices or get in touch for a free quote.
