Types of External Doors
The main types of external doors available are: composite doors, UPVC doors, aluminium doors, and timber doors. Each has different characteristics in terms of security, insulation, aesthetics, and maintenance requirements.
Composite Doors
Composite doors are the most popular choice for front doors in the UK. They combine multiple materials including a solid timber core, UPVC, glass reinforced plastic (GRP), and insulating foam. This makes them extremely strong, energy-efficient, and low maintenance.
UPVC Doors
UPVC doors offer excellent value and durability. They are weather-resistant, low maintenance, and available in a wide range of colours and styles. They provide good thermal and acoustic insulation.
Security Considerations
Look for doors that meet PAS 24 security standards and feature multi-point locking systems. All our doors meet or exceed current UK security requirements.
