Composite doors – what are they?
You will have heard of uPVC, aluminium or timber doors but what about composite doors? A door material that is rising in popularity, composite doors are an excellent choice for any home. Here, we take a look at the advantages of choosing a composite door over other options.
What are composite doors made of?
A composite door is made up of a number of materials. The door contains layers of material that have been glued together under immense pressure. A manufacturing style like this creates a solid material. Doors made from one single material tend to have some weaknesses. Each layer of a composite door has been chosen to combat any potential problems.
Composite doors come in a variety of options. They usually have a solid timber or foam core, glass-reinforced plastic, and uPVC within them. Each of the materials is put together under high pressure to create a robust and secure door. The finish on a composite door is usually made to look like a timber finish. A solid timber door can be more costly and prone to warping over time. A composite door won’t shrink or warp and usually costs less solid timber doors.
