What is a composite front door?

Composite doors are made up of a combination of materials including a solid timber core and uPVC materials. Each material is chosen strategically for its different properties, focused together to result in one of the strongest door materials currently on the market.

Low in maintenance, high in security. Composite doors are both multi-layered and dense, making them airtight within the frame, which increases both the levels of thermal efficiency and security, giving you and your family peace of mind about the protection of your home.

What is an aluminium entrance door?

Well, perhaps the more important question is. If you really want to impress with your front door, why not choose aluminium?

We believe that there are three reasons you should choose an aluminium entrance door.

Known for their stability, flexibility and thermal efficiency, aluminium is an extremely durable material so you can be assured that your door will withstand any bad weather, as well as lasting for years to come. Our aluminium entrance doors are thermally efficient and provide excellent weatherproofing; the perfect entrance doors for your Devon or Cornwall home.

You can rest easy knowing that our aluminium entrance doors are alleviated using the superbly engineering and ‘Secured by Design’ approved Winkhaus Key Wind-Up locking system – a multi-point locking mechanism that uses sintered metal gears, ensuring a long service life.
