What are composite doors?
Firstly, let’s answer the question: What is a composite door? A composite door is made from a unique combination of materials, and they usually feature a solid timber core and glass-reinforced plastic (GRP) skin, which makes them extremely tough, rigid, and secure.
What are the benefits of composite doors?
Composite doors offer a huge number of benefits, these include;
- High Performance– At Landmark Windows & Doors, our composite doors are built with performance in mind. Featuring a 44mm solid timber core and a foam-filled centre, our composite doors are extremely thermally efficient. They help keep your home at a comfortable temperature all year round and save you money on rising heating bills.
- Secure– When you choose one of our composite doors, you can have peace of mind knowing that you’re getting the highest level of security available. Our doors are equipped with advanced security features and quality hardware, including multi-point locking systems, to provide an extra layer of protection. With Landmark Windows & Doors, you can trust that you’re in safe and reliable hands.
- Low maintenance– Another benefit of composite doors is that they require minimal upkeep. Expertly crafted, our composite doors are resistant to common ageing problems like warping, rotting, and peeling that are often found in traditional wooden doors. With their weatherproof and scratch-resistant properties, composite doors are an excellent investment that can last up to 25 years.
- Great aesthetics– One great advantage of composite doors is their extensive range of customisation options. You have the freedom to select from various colours, hardware options, and accessories to truly personalise your composite front door. Popular shades among homeowners include Anthracite Grey, Chartwell Green, and Irish Oak.
Can you paint a composite door?
Many people question whether they can paint their composite door as a means to improve their current home entrance. However, a fresh coat of paint won’t resolve issues of poor quality such as unwelcomed draughts and compromised security.
While it is technically possible to paint your composite door, doing so could potentially negatively affect its performance and warranty. Composite doors are designed to resist warping, cracking, and fading, and painting them could interfere with these properties. Additionally, some composite doors have an outer layer of PVC that should not be painted over. If you’re looking to update the appearance of your composite door, it’s recommended that you stick with options like changing the hardware or adding decorative accents. This will help you maintain the integrity and warranty of your door while keeping it looking its best for years to come.
