What is a Composite Door?

Composite doors are a type of door made up of a combination of materials, typically including wood, UPVC, GRP (glass-reinforced plastic), and sometimes polyurethane foam insulation. These layers of materials are bonded together to create a door that is durable, thermally efficient, and capable of withstanding more extreme weather conditions. 

Each of the materials composed within a composite door serves different purposes:

• Wood (typically timber) - Providing structural support and strength.

• uPVC - Offers durability and weather resistance.

• GRP - Provides a tough and decorative outer layer.

• Polyurethane foam - Supplies the door with insulating properties.

The Stylish Appeal of Grey Composite Doors

Grey composite doors are gaining popularity among UK homeowners for their aesthetic appeal, adding a modern, sleek, and elegant touch to the front of their homes. They offer high aesthetic flexibility and come with an array of customisable options to best complement your home, including contemporary smooth front doors, as well as grained and wood effect traditional options. The reason grey composite doors are a favoured option is due to the highly versatile nature of their colour palette, working beautifully with both brick and contemporary rendered exteriors. Whether it's a light pastel grey or a darker charcoal, its neutral composition adds sophistication, without overpowering the overall look of your home.

Security You Can Trust

Grey composite doors not only look stylish, but they also provide excellent security. The multi-layered design of its composite materials makes it significantly stronger than other options, such as uPVC or wooden doors. Many composite doors are also internally reinforced with a steel frame for added durability, and the durable, impact-resistant outer shell is made up of GRS. In addition to this, our composite doors at Jewel Windows have achieved a ‘Secured by Design’ status, thanks to their hardware, which includes the ABS ultimate locking system.

Energy Efficiency and Low Maintenance

Composite doors are designed to offer increased energy efficiency, keeping your home warm throughout the year and reducing your energy bills. Constructed with high-density foam, they offer excellent thermal insulation, resulting in noticeable energy savings over time. Our composite doors have achieved an ‘A’ rating due to their insulated cores and options for triple glazing.

Additionally, composite doors require minimal upkeep. Unlike wooden doors, they don't require repainting, staining, or regular sealing. At most, they will need an occasional, gentle clean with a damp cloth to remove any buildup of dirt. They're durable and weather resistant, which means they can withstand the elements to prevent warping, rotting, or cracking over time.
