Your front door must look and perform to the highest of standards and it is no wonder that GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) composite doors have become hugely popular with UK homeowners over the last few years.
Made using a variety of materials and using the latest advancements in technology, they are perfect for every type of property. Here are our top 11 benefits of composite doors, in no particular order.
1. Composite doors provide outstanding thermal efficiency
GRP composite doors are made from compression moulded Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) using polyester resins and fibreglass. Using a 44mm door slab, which is almost double the thickness of standard uPVC doors, it is filled with high density foam for outstanding energy efficiency so heat doesn’t escape, and the cold can’t get in, meaning lower energy bills.

Coupled with the highest quality locks, such as Yale multi-point door locs, composite doors will help secure your home. Yale door locks feature a number of technically advanced components, including precisely fitted deadbolts, hooks and latches into the sophisticated multi-point mechanism design.
3. Composite doors keep the draughts out
The high-density foam also allows for increased weather tightness. Thanks to waterproof seals, draughts won’t get in, keeping your home dry and as comfortable as possible.
