About the Front Door
- Composite doors are weighted to match that of a solid wooden door.
- All our composite doors are made to measure to your specification.
- Composite doors have a high dent resistance. They will not warp, twist or bow.
- Composite doors have coloured skins instead of painted finishes. These maintenance-free skins are scratch-proof, flake-proof and fade resistant.
- Each door comes with a full 10 year manufacturers guarantee.
- Composite doors have superb heat insulation qualities (6 times that of timber). Our solid unglazed door achieves a 'U' value as low as 1 and our half glazed door achieves a 'U' value as low as 1.39. These low numbers mean you save money on heating bills and also help reduce your carbon footprint.
