Before you purchase a new front door for your home, it’s important to be aware of the options available to you and narrow it down to the design that suits your home and requirements. Many homeowners are now choosing composite doors due to the additional strength and security they offer, as well as the various styles available. In this blog, we will take a look at how to choose the right composite door for your South Wales home.
What is a composite door?
Composite doors are comprised of a solid timber core surrounded by either a uPVC, laminate or Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) skin. Because of this combination of materials, composite doors provide a durable, low-maintenance front door for your home.
Why choose a composite XtremeDoor?
Composite doors offer the look and feel of a timber door, without any of the inherent problems such as cracking, bowing or twisting. Composite XtremeDoors have a high density foam core which offers impressive strength and thermal performance, as well as a durable Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) skin to protect your home from the elements. For context, GRP is the same material used to make the hull of lifeboats – showing how tough it really is! Unlike timber doors, composite XtremeDoors are incredibly low maintenance. All you need is the occasional wipe down with a damp cloth and the entrance to your home will be restored to it’s original finish.
How does XtremeDoor compare with industry standard specifications?
All XtremeDoors have a 4mm GRP skin as standard, whereas standard composite doors are 2mm or less. They are also Document Q complaint, have high impact resistance, and are UV stable which means no painting and little maintenance is needed.
Composite XtremeDoors are made with security in mind, with a 5 hook lock, the industry standard being 2 hooks. Offering your home superior security with anti-snap, pick, drill and bump cylinders.
They are expertly manufactured with a triple seal frame, the standard is dual. This allows for a tighter seal that can withstand hurricane force winds. Composite XtremeDoors are also weatherproof and provide low U-values so you can keep the heat in your home and the cold out.
A 25 year hardware guarantee comes with XtremeDoor, this includes a 25 year finish guarantee too. All hardware is corrosion proof and salt spray tested.
Factors to consider
When buying a new front door for your South Wales home, there are a number of factors to consider to ensure it’s the perfect fit for your home and lifestyle.
The style of the door impacts the overall aesthetic of your home so should be carefully considered, as well as the size or configuration. This will make sure you choose the right composite door for the space you have available.
