Composite Doors
Your home is as individual as you are, deserving a personal touch and unique statement. By choosing a modern, composite door you can benefit from a wide variety of styles, sizes, colours, glazing and fixtures.
A composite door is made from a combination of materials, typically wood, uPVC (unplasticized polyvinyl chloride), and GRP (glass reinforced plastic). This combination of materials gives composite doors a number of advantages over traditional wooden or uPVC doors.
- Strength and durability: Composite doors are very strong and durable, thanks to the combination of wood and GRP. They are resistant to warping, rotting, and cracking, and can withstand a lot of wear and tear.
- Security: Composite doors are also very secure. The strong core and GRP skin make them difficult to break into.
- Weatherproofing: Composite doors are weatherproof and can withstand all kinds of weather conditions. The uPVC layer protects the wood from the elements, while the GRP skin is resistant to rain, wind, and UV rays.
- Insulation: Composite doors are also very good insulators. The wood core helps to keep the heat in during the winter and the cool air in during the summer.
- Appearance: Composite doors can be made to look like traditional wooden doors, but they are available in a wide range of colors and styles to suit any taste
A single rebated composite door is a type of door with a specific design for the way it fits into the frame.
- Single Rebate: In this design, there's just one continuous groove along the edge of the door. This creates a good seal but offers a slightly simpler construction compared to other options.
- Thickness: Typically have a standard thickness of around 44mm.
- Weather Seal: The single rebate provides a robust weather seal, keeping out drafts and moisture.
- A single rebated composite door offers a good balance of affordability, security, weatherproofing, and style.
A double rebated door takes the benefits of a standard composite door and enhances them for even better performance.
- Double Rebate: A double rebated composite door has two rebates, one on the inside and one on the outside of the door. The two seals are compressed between the door and the frame, creating a much tighter and more secure fit.
- Increased Thermal Insulation: The extra seal helps to trap air even more effectively, improving the door's U-value.
- Enhanced Weather Resistance: The double seal makes the door even more resistant to wind, rain, and drafts.
- Improved Soundproofing: The additional seal helps to block out more noise from outside, making your home quieter.
