When it comes to choosing a front door that combines style, durability, and security, many homeowners in the North West are turning to composite doors. But what is a composite door, and why is it becoming the preferred choice for so many?
At PH Composite Doors, with over 25 years of experience in the supply and installation of composite doors, we’ve seen firsthand the benefits these doors offer. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explore everything you need to know about composite doors — from what they are and why you should consider one, to the benefits they bring to your home.
A composite door is constructed using multiple materials to create a product that combines the best characteristics of each. Unlike traditional wooden or uPVC doors, composite doors typically consist of a solid timber core or insulated foam, layered with Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) or other hard-wearing finishes.
This multi-layered design means composite doors are highly durable, weather-resistant, low maintenance, and available in various finishes and colours to complement any home style.
In areas like Atherton, Leigh, Tyldesley, Wigan, and Westhoughton, the weather can be unpredictable. Composite doors are specially designed to withstand rain, wind, and cold temperatures without warping or fading, making them ideal for homes across the North West.
Additionally, more homeowners are prioritising energy efficiency and security — two areas where composite doors outperform traditional options.
Composite doors are built to last. Their solid internal structure resists warping, cracking, or splitting, while the GRP outer skin stands up to everyday wear and tear. This makes them perfect for busy households and high-traffic entrances.
Security is a top priority for many homeowners. Composite doors often feature advanced multipoint locking systems and a robust internal core, making them significantly harder to break into than standard doors.
The insulation properties of composite doors help retain heat, reducing energy bills and keeping your home comfortable year-round. This makes them an excellent choice for eco-conscious families and anyone looking to reduce heating costs.
Unlike timber doors that require regular painting or varnishing, composite doors need minimal upkeep. A quick wipe with a damp cloth is usually enough to keep them looking brand new.
Composite doors come in a wide variety of colours, textures, and glazing options. Whether you want a classic woodgrain look or a modern smooth finish, there’s a composite door to suit every aesthetic.
Choosing the right front door is a vital part of securing and beautifying your home. Here are a few more reasons why composite doors are a smart investment:
