Home Glaze Composite Doors
Composite doors have become increasingly popular due to their wood-grain effect and durability with little to no maintenance. Home Glaze composite front doors are available in traditional and contemporary designs, with or without glazed panels and every door is bespoke made and handcrafted for a perfect fit in the UK. Home Glaze composite doors are available in a range of popular colours, including Chartwell green and Anthracite grey.
What is a composite door?
A composite door is a combination of different materials to make a stronger, longer-lasting and more durable door. The internal frame is made from a uPVC profile with steel reinforced rods for extra strength. The external skin of a composite door is made from a 2mm layer of Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP), also known as fibreglass – it’s tough, weatherproof and moulds perfectly to replicate a wood grain. The internal space of the door is injected with a warm thermal polyurethane foam core that’s 100% CFC and offers excellent heat-retaining A-rated insulation. Composite doors come in a range of colours that do not fade or need maintenance to keep them looking their best.
Why choose a Composite Door?
Energy-efficient and weather-proof
Home Glaze composite doors are A-rated and feature an energy-efficient foam core. Home Glaze premium 70mm composite doors are manufactured with a double rebated edge and in combination with Q-Lon seals on the exterior rebate and a TPE seal on the interior side of the door, creates superior draught-proofing. The combination of draught-proofing and insulation makes a highly energy efficient door.
Hard-wearing, yet low-maintenance
A composite door can withstand serious wear and tear and the external GRP material is especially resistant to denting, kicks and knocks. The moulded wood-grain skin always looks like a freshly painted wood door. Unlike timber, it won’t crack or peel paint and unlike cheap uPVC, won’t warp or fade. A quick wash with a cloth will keep your door looking its best. Composite front doors should last for at least 35 years with little maintenance.
Frequently asked questions:
At Home Glaze,we understand that choosing new Composite doors can be a daunting task. So to help you here are some frequently asked questions that you might find useful.
What are composite doors made from?
The external part of a composite door is made from a layer of Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP), also known as fibreglass, the same material used to make fishing boats in the North Sea. It’s tough, weatherproof and moulds perfectly to replicate a wood grain.
The tough exterior GRP panels are fused to an internal frame made from uPVC and layered inside that is another frame of hardwood which makes a double frame of superior stability and rigidity.
The internal space of the door is injected with a warm thermal polyurethane foam core that’s 100% CFC and offers excellent heat retaining A-rated insulation to make your door more energy efficient.
The outer door frame is constructed from a sturdy 70mm uPVC profile with steel reinforcement rods.
All Home Glaze doors are made in Britain.
Do composite door colours fade?
Composite doors are engineered with a glass reinforced polyester (GRP) skin, which is notable for its ability to resist losing its colour. Every door is hand sprayed to the colour of choice using a special hard-wearing acrylic paint and then cured in an infrared bake that is so durable your door never needs to be painted again.
Colours on a composite door are designed not to fade or wear like a regular painted door. That said, a composite door could be susceptible to the elements, in particular UV damage, depending on the direction that it is facing.
How much do composite doors cost?
Composite doors cost approximately 50% more than a white uPVC door.
