Composite doors can be made from different materials. GRP composite doors feature the material glass reinforced plastic, which is also known as fibreglass. The use of fibreglass provides the front door with many benefits. One of these benefits is that the door is not affected by changes in temperature. Wooden doors and uPVC doors often shrink or swell with heat changes, causing the door to warp. This warping leads to issues such as gaps when the doors shrink, which cause draughts and affect heating bills, or sticking when the door expands, leading to a door which is difficult to open and close. Changes in the material like this can also cause issues with the door being significantly weakened. Composite doors are not affected in this way, so they remain energy efficient and fully functional.
Further benefits of fibreglass doors include high security. Because of the strength of the materials used, the front doors have a high resistance to attack. Where panels of uPVC doors could be kicked in, allowing access, composite doors do not have separate panels which can be kicked in. With enough force, wooden doors can be kicked in to the point of cracking and breaking. Composite doors have such a high strength that they will not even dent from the force of attack.
In addition to these functional benefits, the GRP skin ensures that the doors are low maintenance. There is no sanding and painting required to keep the doors looking good. They will not get discoloured or fade to a shadow of their former glory over time. They remain looking bright and as good as new. If the door gets a bit dirty, there are no special cleaners required to get them clean again. All you need to do is wipe them down with a damp sponge.
