With there being so many options for new front doors readily available for homeowners, it can be tricky to decide exactly which composite door to choose. To help you out, we have noted three key factors to bear in mind when purchasing a composite door and why they are important.
1 – How good does a composite door look?
A big advantage to buying a composite door is the incredible amount of customisation choices available, especially compared to standard uPVC doors. The large number of styles to choose from means you can take your pick of whether you would like a traditional or modern design, which colour to choose, or even if you would like additional side panels. The front door of your home is a big part of its first impression, which is why we feel it is important to take your time when deciding its design.
2 – How secure is a composite door?
Even though composite doors tend to be structurally stronger than uPVC doors, as they are made from a combination of materials, there are still additional security features to contemplate. Feeling safe and secure in your home should be a top priority, so options such as adding an auto-lock or fitting an anti-pick/anti-drill lock should be considered as they can drastically increase your home’s security. Be on the lookout for a ‘Secured by Design’ logo with the door, which represents a seal of approval and a recommendation by the police, proving the door has been thoroughly tested.
3 – What is the right price to pay for a composite door?
On the surface you may be surprised at the price difference between composite doors and its alternatives. It is no secret that composite doors are more expensive to buy, however, there are certain factors that make paying that little bit more worth it in the long term. We have already covered the various design and security advantages of choosing a composite door, however this stronger, more durable option will also require less maintenance and is more thermal efficient. This means it is likely to be more cost beneficial to pay more now so you can save more later.
