What is a composite door
A composite door is a popular choice for many homeowners due to its durability, security, and aesthetics. A composite door consists of multiple layers of materials that are bonded together to create a strong and sturdy door. Typically, these doors are made up of a combination of materials such as uPVC, timber, insulating foam, and glass reinforced plastic (GRP).
The result is a door that is highly insulating, weather-resistant, and can withstand significant force, making it a popular choice for front doors. Composite doors can be designed to mimic the appearance of traditional timber doors, without the downsides of bending, warping, or deteriorating over time.
The thickness of the door varies depending on the manufacturer, but a typical composite door will be between 44mm-48mm thick. The extra thickness gives the door an added robustness, as well as improving the insulation properties and reducing noise levels.
In addition to its functional capabilities, composite doors offer a range of customization options. Homeowners can choose from a variety of colors, finishes, and hardware options to create a personalized look that fits their home’s aesthetic.
One of the key advantages of composite doors is their security features. The multi-layered design of composite doors provides an additional layer of protection against attempted break-ins. Many composite doors come with high-security locking systems that provide additional peace of mind for homeowners.
Another benefit of composite doors is their low-maintenance requirements. Unlike traditional timber doors, composite doors do not need to be sanded, stained, or painted regularly. They require only occasional cleaning to keep them looking fresh and new.
Despite their many benefits, composite doors are not entirely immune to damage. They can be susceptible to dents and scratches if impacted by heavy objects, and they may fade over time due to exposure to the sun. However, minor damage can usually be repaired easily and cost-effectively.
In summary, composite doors are a durable and stylish option for homeowners looking for a secure and low-maintenance entry door that can provide an additional layer of insulation and protection from the elements. With a wide range of customisation options available, composite doors can be tailored to fit any home’s aesthetic and provide long-lasting performance.

A wish come true, Elite Windows and Conservatories have done a superb job building our conservatory from start to finish. Very professional and very friendly service from all involved. In particular the area sales manager Jack Harris who was there giving us advice and following up at every stage of the installation. Very happy with the cost as well. So glad we chose them to fulfil our dream.
Elite Windows did my Conservatory 13 years ago, which is my favourite room in the house. So when my back door broke, there was no hesitation where to go, and I wasn't wrong. Absolutely amazing job from start to finish, even going the extra mile and fixing my Conservatory guttering without even mentioning. Next stop a porch .... Thank you so much, look forward to seeing you soon 😊
I had enquired with a number of window replacement companies and asked neighbours for recommendations , right from the get go Elite Windows kept becoming the front runner. I sent an enquiry into them online and the very next day I received a phone call from one of the office women who arranged for Jack to review my request. Jack promptly called and arranged a visit that same day and gave us a quote. I was impressed with the service so far and the quote as we had 3 x 12ft bay window and 2 x smaller windows to fit was very reasonable and competitive. we signed up and waited 5 weeks to work commenced. The guys who came to fit all the windows were fabulous. they came early , cracked on with the job , tided up as they went along, kept us informed of progress and next steps. on the final day we had to leave them to it and they locked up after themselves and we came home to a completed job , all clean and organised.. Brilliant. A final phone call from the office later that day to see that we were happy with everything and then payment.could not be more pleased.
FANTASTIC service from start to finish. Superb quality doors, windows and solid roof at a good price. Excellent value for money.We're so very pleased with our new conservatory, it has made such a difference. The builders are professional and very skilled. An AMAZING job. I definitely recommend the team at Elite Windows.
