If you are looking to invest in a new front door for your home, have you considered a composite door? Not only can this improve the overall look of your home, but it can also increase efficiency and security.
We take a look at the top ten reasons why you should invest in a composite door.
1. Strength
Composite doors are strong and sturdy throughout thanks to their aluminium inserts. These may not be visible from the outside, but they do a fantastic job of maintaining the structure of your front door. The high quality of composite doors means they’re also one of the best choices for security, and often utilise state-of-the-art 10-point locking mechanisms for added protection.
2. Style
Here at G&L Windows, we offer a wide selection of composite door colours and styles to suit your taste. We offer a range of standard colours including white, red, green, blue and black to name just a few and also give the option to choose any custom colour, meaning you’ll be sure to match your favourite colour.
3. Weather-resistant
Composite doors are covered with glass-reinforced plastic for the perfect outer layer. This means your door is very unlikely to chip, rot, or scratch with use. Watertight seals are used to make sure your front door doesn’t let in a draught and is ready for any weather conditions thrown at it.
4. Noise-reduction
Composite doors are manufactured to keep the noise of the outside world out. Because they are usually a little thicker than the average front door, they can be purchased with enhanced soundproofing if requested.
5. Energy efficient
It is estimated that around 35% of heat loss occurs through walls and through gaps, in and around windows and doors, so a poorly insulating door could be responsible for your higher energy bills.
When you feel the cold getting through your door you could try a quick fix and install draught proofing around the door to stop cold air rushing through, but a composite door promises to be a permanent fix to the problem.
6. Easy to clean
You should try to clean your composite door monthly. Not only will this make it easier to remove stubborn dirt and grime, but you’ll also avoid issues such as discolouration. Due to the resilient and hard-wearing nature of composite doors, you only need warm soapy water and a soft cloth for cleaning.
Avoid using scouring pads, abrasive chemical cleaners, bleach, solvents, adhesives, and steam or high-pressure cleaners at all costs. There’s a strong chance that these products and materials will cause.
