New front door full panel
Do you wish to swap your front door? There are lots of options available to you but none quite as preferred as composite doorways. But why is this type of doorway the nation’s favourite and why should you consider it for your own property?
There are many reasons to choose a composite door. First of all they look superb and there is a wide range of choice in the style and design to select from. If you would like a modern appeal then you can certainly get exactly that, with contemporary designs to go hand in hand with the times. But if you prefer the overall appeal of standard front doors, there are Victorian, Georgian and Edwardian designs to select from.
Moreover it is possible to decide on a colour that beautifully complements your house. Whether you invest in a classic white or black door, or might have a preference for the bold red, blue or green, the final decision is yours.
But how about the composite door’s other features? As well as a strong visual appeal, you take advantage of great insulation and a long-lasting, resistant installation. The construction of the door guarantees heat is unable to pass thorough and leave your property, bringing down your expensive energy bills.
Composite doors are manufactured to withstand impacts and the weather too, lasting for decades with virtually no upkeep. A GRP (Glass reinforced plastic) skin enables you to protect the front door making sure it continues to look great for quite some time to come.
The average cost of Composite front doors is £950. Costs alter based upon the materials and the firm chosen. The upper price range can be as high as £1092.5. The material costs are normally about £237.5

Both uPVC and composite doors have their advantages and disadvantages, so choosing one may rest on the purpose of installing the door.

• 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.
• Glazing Options
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.
• Location
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.
