Composite doors are made from a selection of different materials which can include timber, uPVC, glass-reinforced plastic (GRP), foam insulation and a thermoplastic polymer skin. The combination of materials makes a composite door one of the strongest on the market.

Composite front doors can add value to your home. They have attractive designs to give a great first impression for the entrance to your home. Improving how your home looks from the street can make it more appealing to potential buyers. Even a new door colour can impact value. They also provide increased energy efficiency, security, and longevity benefits. These benefits can be attractive selling points.

uPVC doors and composite doors are different because of the materials used to make them. uPVC doors contain insulation and are made of a uPVC outer layer. Composite doors are made of a mix of wood and insulating materials that are sealed in with an outer layer that is usually made of glass-reinforced plastic (GRP). Composite front doors are considered stronger than uPVC doors as a result.

As composite doors are made from layers of materials, they can provide better sound insulation than single-layered, thinner doors. But their ability to reduce outside noise depends on the quality of the composite door. This includes things like the thickness, design of the door and the quality of installation.
