What Are Composite Doors?
Composite doors are a type of external door that are made up of multiple materials, including wood, uPVC, foam, and glass reinforced plastic (GRP). These materials are combined to create a door that is strong, durable, and thermally efficient.
One of the main benefits of composite doors is their exceptional security features. The doors feature virtually unbreakable locking systems, making them one of the most secure options on the market. This makes them an ideal choice for homeowners who are concerned about the safety and security of their property.
Composite doors are also incredibly strong, thanks to their multi-material composition. The core of the door is made up of durable materials, such as timber and foam, which are then encased in a strong outer frame. This ensures that the door is able to withstand harsh weather conditions, as well as everyday wear and tear.
Another advantage of composite doors is their thermal efficiency. The combination of materials used in their construction creates a high level of insulation, helping to keep your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer. This can help to reduce your energy bills and make your home more comfortable year-round.
Finally, composite doors require little to no maintenance, making them a practical choice for busy homeowners. Unlike timber doors, which require regular maintenance to protect against rot and decay, composite doors can simply be wiped clean with a damp cloth.

How Secure Are Composite Doors?
Composite doors are renowned for their high levels of security, thanks to their reinforced construction and advanced locking systems. Before they are fitted to a home, composite doors undergo rigorous testing to ensure they meet the highest standards of security.
One key accreditation to look for when choosing a composite door is PAS 24. This is an industry-standard accreditation recognised by home insurance companies and the police, which provides assurance of enhanced security. To achieve PAS 24 accreditation, a composite door must be able to withstand various types of attack, including attempts to break the lock or hinges.
In addition, many composite doors are also certified by Secured by Design, a police initiative that promotes higher levels of security for homes, workplaces, and public spaces such as shops. This certification is given to products that meet or exceed a set of stringent security standards.
The construction of composite doors also plays a crucial role in their security. They are made from a combination of materials, including a strong outer frame, a solid timber core, and a glass-reinforced plastic (GRP) skin. This creates a structure that is extremely tough and resistant to forced entry.
Furthermore, composite doors are fitted with advanced locking systems, such as multipoint locking systems, which use multiple locking points to secure the door to the frame. This makes it much more difficult for an intruder to force the door open.
Stand Out From The Crowd With A Modern Composite Front Door
In addition to their aesthetic appeal and security benefits, composite front doors offer numerous other advantages. For example, they are incredibly durable and long-lasting, meaning they will not need replacing for many years. They are also low maintenance, which is perfect for busy homeowners who don't have the time or inclination to paint or varnish their doors regularly.
Composite doors are also highly energy-efficient, thanks to their multi-layered construction. The foam core and insulating materials help to keep heat in during the winter and cool air in during the summer, reducing your energy bills and making your home more comfortable year-round.
