Composite Doors in Leicester

Are you looking to swap your front door? There are many options available to you but none as well-liked as composite doorways. But why is this particular type of doorway the nation’s preferred and why would you consider it for your own home?

There are quite a few reasons to decide on a composite door. For starters they look amazing and there is a wide range of choice in the style and design to pick from. If you desire a modern day appeal then you can certainly get exactly that, with contemporary designs to go together with the times. But if you want the attractiveness of traditional front doors, you can also find Victorian, Georgian and Edwardian designs from which to choose.

On top of this it is possible to pick a colour that perfectly fits your household. Whether you select a classic white or black front door, or would prefer the bold red, blue or green, the final decision is yours.

But what about the composite door’s other features? Along with a strong look and feel, you benefit from outstanding insulation and a long-lasting, resistant installation. The construction of the door makes sure heat is not able to pass thorough and leave your property, bringing down your expensive energy bills.

Composite doorways are manufactured to resist impacts and the weather too, lasting for decades with practically no maintenance. A GRP (Glass reinforced plastic) skin helps you to protect the front door making certain it continues to look great for quite some time to come.

FAQs

how much are composite doors?

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.

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.

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.

• Style Of The Door - The most common and popular door styles are manufactured in large quantities and consequently, the cheaper option than the more complex styles. A good example is the six panel door that features two frosted glass inlays will definitely cost more than the four panel plain white composite door.
