Do you want to replace your front door? There are various options available to you but none as well-liked as composite doorways. So why is this type of door the nation’s most popular and why would you consider it for your own household?
There are quite a few reasons to pick a composite door. First of all they look great and there's a wide variety of choice in the style and design from which to choose. If you would like a modern day overall appeal you'll be able to get precisely that, with contemporary designs to go hand in hand with the times. But if you want the charm of traditional front doors, you can also find Victorian, Georgian and Edwardian designs to select from.
As well as this you can select a colour that properly matches your house. Whether you invest in a classic white or black front door, or would prefer the bold red, blue or green, the final decision is up to you.
But how about the composite door’s additional features? Together with a strong look and feel, you benefit from great insulation and a hardwearing, resistant installation. The construction of the door helps ensure heat is not able to pass thorough and leave your property, bringing down your expensive energy bills.
Composite doors are manufactured to resist impacts and the weather too, lasting for decades with practically no maintenance. A GRP (Glass reinforced plastic) skin helps to protect the front door ensuring it continues to look great for years to come.
The average cost of Composite front doors is £950. Costs alter based upon the materials and the firm chosen. The upper price range can be as high as £1092.5. The material costs are normally about £237.5

Unlike several other complex multi choice products, composite door prices are no great mystery. However, it all depends on your personal preferences as well as your budget. There are a variety of customization options and extras, so you can easily select one that’s unique to your home. Composite doors offer you more colours, more styles, a greater choice of accessories as well as more glazing options. With the availability of a plethora of options in the market, it’s very hard to provide a precise price for a composite door as all the options play a significant role in the price structure.
• The Door’s Quality
Composite doors commonly comes with either a CFC-free insulating polyurethane (PU) foam or a laminated hardwood core. The price to be paid will depend on the quality of the composite with the laminated hardwood core being of more quality and ultimately, more expensive.
• Glazing Options
Between a coloured leaded glass double panel and a clear double-glazed panel there’s a huge price difference. And within these two extremes, there are also many other variables.
• Accessories
There are a world of choices when it comes to accessories in terms of the handle styles, letterplates, knockers and more. All playing a role in the price of the composite door.
• Locking System
A common feature of several composite doors is the multi point locking systems. However, the price, choice and security of the lock cylinder can be hugely different which also play a part in the price of the composite door.
• Location
Your geographical location plays an even more important part when you’re having your door installed. For instance, delivery in certain areas in the UK or finding tradesmen comes at a premium which is also shown in the price.
