Chosen Design

As you can see above, we have completely transformed this front door from a brown woodgrain design to a sleek black composite door with gold detailing. Our customers have chosen a black frame which gives it a modern feel, with a timber appearance to keep the traditional look.

The customers have also chosen a gold letterbox and numbers to complement their composite door installation. This works very well with their door and adds a pop of colour. The glazing is very decorative, with the gold theme continued in the glass.

Our composite doors come in a range of styles and can be customised to complement your property’s interior and exterior. If you have a design in mind or are starting from scratch, we can help you create the perfect composite door with bespoke options to consider for your Essex home.

What Are Composite Doors?

Our composite front doors are a mixture of robust materials, including timber, PVC and foam. Combining these materials allows us to install a door that will offer our customers unrivalled thermal performance and security. The insulating components of our doors will improve the energy efficiency of your property and keep you warm at all times.

Manufactured in the UK, our quality composite doors will adapt to each weather condition and secure your Essex home throughout the year. As well as the insulation and security benefits, your new composite doors have excellent acoustic properties. A robust door will reduce the level of external noise that transfers into your home.

Composite Door Installation Benefits

Composite doors boast a fantastic range of benefits that will be beneficial to any home. The customer chose our composite doors because of the reasons that are listed below!

Weatherproof

Unlike earlier door models, composite doors will not warp, rust or corrode. The doors that we install are extremely robust and offer excellent weatherproofing to prevent any unwelcome draughts or water ingress from entering your Essex home. Our doors are tested regularly against industry standards so that you can have peace of mind.

The colours that we use for our composite doors have heat reflective technology to minimise solar absorption to not fade over time. We always fit composite doors in ways that are going to become more sustainable. Our composite door manufacturing has the FSC certification confirming that it meets their environmental standards.

Thermal Efficiency

We understand that keeping warm is important to each Essex homeowner. All the materials that make our composite doors have excellent thermal benefits that you can take advantage of for years to come. Investing in high-quality doors means that your home will be continually insulated throughout the year.

The composite doors that we install can achieve U-values as low as 1.4W/m2k and possibly lower! Your improved energy savings means that you can rely less on using your heating. You can live comfortably in your home and keep warm all year round. In the long run, you can save money on your monthly energy bills and reduce your carbon footprint.

Bespoke Design

Whether you live in a modern or a traditional home, we cater to all property types. You can choose from a selection of colours, finishes and accessories to complete the look of your new composite door. From Black to Chartwell, we are confident that you can find the right colour that will harmonise with your home.

As well as our colour range, you can also pick from a range of hardware accessories to add to your door. Our extensive range includes; handles, escutcheons, knockers, letterplates, stainless steel bars, numerals and doorknobs. You can pick from 5 colours for our accessories so that they will match the design of your new composite door.

What should you know about composite doors before buying?

Choosing the right entrance door is crucial for security, energy efficiency, and aesthetics. Our composite doors offer superior protection, thermal performance, and a range of design options. Below, we answer some of the most common questions to help you make an informed decision before investing in a new front door.

What makes composite doors more secure than other doors?
Composite doors are built with either a solid timber or high-density foam core, encased in a tough GRP skin. They feature multi-point locking systems, reinforced frames, and high-security cylinder locks, meeting PAS 24 certification and Secured by Design standards. This makes them highly resistant to forced entry.

How energy-efficient are composite doors?
Composite doors provide excellent thermal performance, with U-values as low as 1.4 W/m²K. The combination of an insulating core, thermal breaks, and weather-tight seals helps to retain heat, reducing energy bills and improving overall home efficiency.

Do composite doors require a lot of maintenance?
No, composite doors are low maintenance. Unlike timber doors, they do not require painting or varnishing. Occasional cleaning with soapy water is enough to keep them looking good, and their durable GRP skin resists warping, cracking, and fading.

Can I customise my composite door?
Yes, composite doors come in over 100 RAL colour options, including traditional woodgrain and contemporary shades. You can also choose different colours for the interior and exterior, select from multiple door styles, and add decorative glazing and premium door hardware.

Where can I see composite doors before buying?
