Take a look inside the ideal composite door…
The outer skin of your composite front door is tough 4mm thick glass reinforced plastic (GRP), available in a wide choice of door colours with a realistic woodgrain effect moulded in. It’s a similar material to the hull of an ocean-going yacht - so you can guess it’s more than capable of handling the UK weather and hard knocks of everyday life. And GRP won’t dent or scratch like painted metal-faced doors, either.The amazingly durable outer skin is bonded to a solid foam infill panel. It’s an exterior door structure that gives outstanding rigidity and stability; unlike wooden alternatives there’s no risk of swelling, shrinking or warping, so your door won’t stick or let in draughts. This advanced thermally efficient foam core also gives you up to six times more insulation than a timber door, and great sound deadening too.
The high thermal efficiency continues with the way your door fits in its frame. The flush-fitting design features a high tech triple weather seal. With an external gasket and two wool pile barriers, the weather’s kept firmly at bay so you stay cosy in your home. 100% recycled PVC-U thermal inserts are integral to the door frame, adding even more thermal efficiency to help keep your heating bills down.
And if easy access for a child’s buggy or wheel chair is important to you, we offer an optional low aluminium threshold to make life that little bit smoother.
