What Is A Composite Door? - Look Garage Doors | New Garage Doors and Automation

If you’ve spent much time perusing our website, you may have noticed that garage doors are not our only product. Yes, installing garage doors makes up the majority of our work and it is what we’re passionate about, but we’ve recently started to branch out. We’re now offering a comprehensive range of composite doors to our customers and are proud to install them in homes across Mansfield, Nottingham and beyond. Before we go any further though, we should probably explain what a composite door is. We’ve got a lot of DIY enthusiasts on our team, but if you rarely get involved in home improvement you might not have heard of them before. What is a composite door? And how is it different from a regular front door? Well, sit down with a cup of tea and let us enlighten you.

Explaining Composite Doors

Composite doors differ from standard front doors in how they’re made. The average front door in the UK is made with a single material (usually uPVC, metal, or timber), but composite doors are not. They consist of a central core made with thick timber (you may find alternatives on the market that use high-density foam), that has several layers placed around it to form the body of the door. These layers are made with numerous materials that are bonded together under intense pressure and they’re finished off with a laminated outer skin. Composite doors have several advantages over single-material doors. Their inner cores make them inherently strong and durable, and they can resist severe weather conditions and attempted break-ins alike. They’re also naturally good at retaining household heat and have remarkable thermal efficiency. Our composite doors achieve U-values of just 1.4 W/m2k, so they can help you get a more comfortable house without having to use central heating as often. This means you’ll gradually spend less on your monthly energy bills and reduce your carbon footprint, they help save money in the long run and are good for the environment.

Installing Composite Doors

As you can imagine, there’s a lot of crossover when it comes to garage doors and front doors. There are differences in the design and installation process, but there are a lot of similarities too. Most of our team have experience working with front doors so it was a natural evolution for us to start offering them to our customers. For our composite doors, we’ve partnered with industry experts Comp Door. They have a glowing reputation for quality and service and at a slightly more down-to-earth level, we also just really like their doors. They are widely customisable and have over 250 colour combinations available, so creating bespoke composite doors is very easy. They’re functional, versatile and safe; they’re fitted with ABS security cylinders as standard and achieve PAS24: 2016 accreditation. In short, these doors are market leaders and we couldn’t be happier to work with them.
