Frequently Asked Questions

What are composite doors?

Composite doors are made up from a variety of materials, which have been chosen for their beneficial properties and these include PVC, wood, insulating foam and GRP (glass reinforced plastic). The combination of these materials mean that the end result is a door that is strong and secure. Read a full description here.

Composite doors are high quality, durable, secure, energy efficient, fantastic looking, and actually incredibly easy to care for as, due to their very nature and composition, they won’t discolour, fade or warp.
