8 Reasons to Choose Composite Doors

Posted on 4th June 2021 at 10:30

Composite doors are very popular with homeowners and landlords across Hull and East Yorkshire. There really is no wonder, as they come with multiple benefits and may be more affordable than you think, especially when you take advantage of our finance options that help you to spread the cost over a manageable timeframe.

Read on to discover why you should definitely consider composite doors the next time you’re looking to upgrade your home.

Composite doors are extremely strong

This type of door gets its name from its composition, in that it’s made up of an insulating foam core surrounded by a strong outer frame. The combination of strong materials makes composite doors extremely tough and resilient.

Composite doors require little maintenance

Whilst old-school timber doors can warp, crack and fade, which can also lead to draughts and leaks, composite doors are built to last. Forget about having to treat and repaint them every few years, as your composite door just needs a wipe down with a soapy cloth.

If you have a window cleaner, you could ask them to do this for you each time they visit, removing a job from your to-do list.

Composite doors are thermally efficient

No one likes paying more for gas and electricity than necessary, which is why composite doors are so popular with people who want their homes to be energy efficient. The thick insulation stops heat from escaping the property, resulting in a warmer and more comfortable home, not to mention a smaller carbon footprint.

Composite doors reduce noise

When you combine composite doors with new double glazing, you’re also fitting your home with a powerful noise reduction system. Whether you live on a busy road with heavy traffic or there’s simply a lot of hustle and bustle in your neighbourhood, composite doors will significantly reduce the amount of noise that makes its way into your living environments.

Composite doors come in a range of styles

We only use composite doors from Solidor, as it’s a fantastic manufacturer that we trust completely. Solidor offers composite doors in a wide range of styles and colours, allowing you to choose one that either complements the rest of your property or transforms its appearance to suit your taste.

This isn’t just a case of the outside of your home looking fantastic, as a composite door can create an attractive focal point in your hallway too.

Composite doors are weather-resistant

The Great British weather is full of surprises. From gale-force winds, cold snaps and battering rain to blazing sunshine one day and a few feet of snow the next, the elements really do keep us on our toes! Luckily, composite doors are designed to keep all of that outside, guaranteeing a comfortable home life no matter what it’s like outside.

Composite doors can be customised

Would you prefer your letterbox in a specific position or would it be better if there wasn’t one at all? The same goes for the handle, door knocker and even the hinges, as composite doors from Solidor come with so many accessories to choose from.

Perhaps you’d like a pewter peardrop door knocker for a classic look or a designer Italia handle that makes your property stand out from the rest? The ability to customise your composite door isn’t just practical, it’s also a creative process that we know you’ll enjoy from start to finish.

Composite doors are extremely secure

Last but certainly not least, composite doors provide unparalleled levels of home security. Aside from being extremely solid, composite doors from Solidor come with multiple options when it comes to the locking system.

In fact, the brand prides itself on being the most secure on the market, with locking systems that are approved by both the police and insurance companies across the UK.
