Are Composite Doors Better Than Wood?

Composite doors are more durable and low maintenance than wood. When comparing high-quality composite doors with timber counterparts, the former offers a wider range of practical benefits. Made with uPVC, a solid timber core, foam and glass-reinforced plastic (GRP), the doors excel in their structural integrity. Composite doors can suit both commercial and domestic properties. Each door offers a wealth of practical benefits, including security, thermal performance and weather resistance.

Security

Not only are composite doors made with high-quality materials, but they offer incredible security.  Each door is fitted with multi-point locking systems, reinforced handles and robust hinges. As well as this, we have the option for the innovative Ultion lock. This is an exceptional piece of technology that can detect intruders resulting in a ‘lockdown mode’.

Wooden doors can experience damage when exposed to the British weather. They could suffer from moisture damage which may result in the wood rotting. Additionally, weaknesses in the doors could result in draughts getting inside, or even water ingress. Composite doors are made to withstand even the most extreme weather.
