What Are Our Composite Doors Made From?

Composite doors are a popular choice to work alongside sectioned doors for increased energy efficiency. But you might be wondering what makes them warmer in comparison to other front doors. These doors have an exterior made from GRP (glass-reinforced plastic), a weatherproof material that can help protect your home from the elements. 

The doors undergo double glazing to ensure they are completely weatherproof and energy efficient. Next, the outer frame is used to support an internal skeleton made from uPVC. As a result, the sturdy and stable structure helps boost its thermal efficiency, so natural heat can enter your home. 

How Are Composite Doors Energy Efficient?

Compared to wooden doors, our composite doors have low U values. The lower the U values, the less heat will escape from the property, which saves money on energy bills. Alongside our thermally insulated sectional doors, your home could be much warmer in the long term. 

Our composite doors stand out because they come with S glaze technology. THis built in design helps your door stand out from the crowd because the advanced double glazing is fitted within the door, so heat is less likely to escape. What’s more, the door is locked in for life, keeping you and your loved ones protected and safe. 

Our composite doors eclipse uPVC and metal doors because they boast a high density foam core. Your composite door could help you stay warmer all year round. 

Insulation Properties of Composite Doors

Composite doors, made from a combination of materials, typically feature a steel base with a moisture-resistant composite overlay. This combination provides excellent insulation and increases energy efficiency. 

Composite doors are designed with an insulated core sandwiched between two steel skins. This insulation helps reduce heat transfer and air infiltration, resulting in significant energy savings.

It is important to compare our composite doors to other materials to understand their energy efficiency. 

• Wooden Doors- While wooden doors offer good insulation, they are susceptible to warping and changes in weather temperature. This can lead to gaps forming around the frame, reducing the door’s overall energy efficiency.
• uPVC Doors- While uPVC doors are known for their low maintenance and durability, they don’t offer the same thermal insulation as our composite doors. What’s more, the material can degrade over time, reducing its levels of energy efficiency.

Additional Benefits of Composite Doors: 

Apart from their insulation properties, composite doors offer other advantages that contribute to their energy efficiency. The moisture-resistant composite overlay protects the door from the elements, reducing the risk of warping or rotting. This durability ensures that the door maintains its energy-saving properties over time.

What’s more, our composite doors are durable and resistant to wear and tear. The GRP surface is easy to clean and maintain, so the doors can be in immaculate condition throughout the year. This makes our composite doors a practical addition for busy households. 

Furthermore, composite doors are available in a variety of styles and designs, allowing you to choose a door that complements the aesthetic of your home. This means you don’t have to compromise on style to enjoy the energy-saving benefits of a composite door.

We hope that this article has helped you understand how our composite doors are energy efficient for your home. They offer better heat and sound insulation than other materials, resulting in a stronger door all year round.
