How Are Composite Doors Made?

Here at Chigwell Windows, we supply composite doors to installers and builders in the South East. These doors have seen a rise in popularity over the last few years. But you might be wondering what they are and what benefits they can offer to your customer. Read on to find out more.

A composite door is made from a wide range of materials that create a strong and durable door which will protect your customer’s home from intruders, giving your customers’ home extra security. Furthermore, the door is also available in a wide selection of different colours for your customer to choose from, so they are able to stamp their personality all over their home.

The exterior part of the door is crafted from a 2mm layer of Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP), which is also known as fibreglass. This is a robust and tough material that is used to make fishing boats in the North Sea, meaning it is built to handle even the worst conditions. Its woodgrain finish will not only increase the kerb appeal of your customer’s homes, but you can inform your customer that the door will last a very long time. What’s more, let your customer know that their door will last for a long time because it doesn’t rust, warp, or distort in the worst conditions. And the door will keep your customer’s home warmer as cold spots won’t be able to enter.

Your customers’ homes will be protected even further because the GRP panels are made from uPVC windows. This is layered inside a double frame of hardwood, resulting in a panel that offers fantastic durability and inherent strength. Inform your customer that this is a unique selling point because if they are worried about any intruders breaking in, then this door will keep them and their families safe for many years to come.

You can inform your customer that the composite doors we install have the highest levels of protection because your customer’s door will benefit from multi point locking systems and durable, firm handles. This will prevent any weak spots in your door, so the door will give you the ultimate protection. What’s more, the outer frame is made of 70mm uPVC and steel reinforcement, further enhancing its security.

Let your customer know that your composite door is not just very strong, but it offers outstanding thermal efficiency. This is because the internal space of the door is injected with a warm and thermal polyurethane foam core that keeps warm air in your customer’s home and leaves cold air outside. In addition to this, the door offers A Rated levels of thermal efficiency, so your customer will save plenty of money on their energy bills. This is a unique selling point because the doors are environmentally friendly, resulting in a greener planet.

The door is created bespoke to your customer’s needs, so they have full control over how their door will look. It is one of the most secure options to eliminate draughts in bad weather conditions because the door fits snugly in the frame. Your customers’ home will be able to keep them warmer as a result. What’s more, the double glazing that is fitted as standard is not just a good conductor of heat but a good insulator of sound as well. This is ideal if your customer’s commercial or residential property is by a busy road or a loud neighbourhood. The panels even support triple glazing as well to give your customer the option to protect their home even more.

While composite doors offer robust strength, they are designed to be low maintenance, so your customer doesn’t have to look after them. The strength of the materials means that the only thing your customer needs to do is wipe it down with a damp cloth, and it will look as good as new. What’s more, all the colours that we offer are powder coated to ensure maximum strength and durability, so they will last for a long time. This is yet another strong selling point because you will be able to let your customer know that they have many styles, colours and finishes to choose from, which will reflect their personality. 

At Chigwell, we offer a strong selection of colours that give them lots of choices. Let them know that they can go for a traditional charm with muted colours that blend into their property, or if they want it to stand out, they can choose one of our powdered colours.
