    Composite Doors: Built To Protect Your Home

    When it comes to protecting your home, our composite doors stand in a class of their own. Unlike traditional timber or uPVC doors, composite doors are engineered with multiple layers of robust materials, creating an almost impenetrable barrier.

    At their heart lies either a solid timber or high-density foam core, encased in a super-strong GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) skin that’s virtually impossible to crack, dent or breach. This is further reinforced with a sophisticated multi-point locking system that secures the door at several points along the frame. Meeting the rigorous PAS 24 security certification and approved by Secured by Design, our composite doors have been thoroughly tested against various break-in attempts to provide you with complete peace of mind.

    Transform your home’s entrance with our versatile range of composite doors. From traditional cottages to contemporary new-builds, we offer 18 distinct door styles that can be customised to suit any property.

    Contact Us

    What is a composite door?

    The term 'composite' simply refers to something made from multiple materials, and that's exactly what makes these doors special. Unlike traditional doors made from a single material, composite doors combine several materials - including a a strong internal core (either timber or foam), and a weatherproof GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) outer skin. Composite doors are typically stronger, more secure, and more energy efficient than conventional single-material doors.

    How secure are your composite doors?

    Our composite doors offer exceptional security, featuring multipoint locking systems, robust cores, and meeting PAS 24 certification standards. They're also Secured by Design compliant, making them one of the most secure entrance door options available.

    What's the difference between a timber core and foam core composite door?

    Both options offer excellent security and thermal performance. Timber core doors, although slightly more expensive, provide traditional solid wood strength, while foam core doors offer cost-effective insulation properties. Our team can help you choose the best option for your specific needs and budget.

    Do composite doors require much maintenance?

    No, composite doors are very low maintenance. They won't rot, warp or fade, and simply need occasional cleaning with warm soapy water to keep them looking their best.

    Are your composite doors weatherproof?

    Yes, our composite doors are designed to withstand all weather conditions. They're highly resistant to rain, wind, and temperature changes, and won't warp or crack.
