Your front door is the first line of defence for your home, so it is worth understanding what makes a composite door such a strong choice. Composite doors are built from several materials working together, which is where the strength comes from.
At the heart of a quality composite door is a solid timber core, wrapped in reinforced UPVC and a tough outer skin of glass reinforced plastic. A Solidor door, for example, is 44mm thick with a solid timber core, making it considerably stronger than many standard doors. That construction resists impact and stands up to the weather without warping, cracking or needing repainting.
Security comes from more than the slab, though. A good composite door uses a multi point locking system with anti snap, anti pick and anti drill protection, so the whole door is locked into the frame at several points rather than one.
Alongside the security, you get a thermally insulated core that helps keep heat in, and a huge choice of colours and styles so the door still looks the part. If you are thinking about a new front or back door in Kent, we would be glad to help you choose.
