Maintaining Your Composite Door

Unlike timber doors, on which our composite doors are designed to replicate, composite doors require little to no maintenance to in regards to keeping their effortless operation throughout their life. Essentially, composite doors succeed in housing everything that makes wooden doors attractive whilst losing their difficult upkeep.

When you invest in a composite door you’ll never need to set aside a weekend to renovate it by removing the door from the hinges, damaging your dicky hip in the process and returning the now ill fitted door because you got the measurements wrong. Unlike traditional wooden doors, our composite doors are simply unaffected by harmful and corrosive weather conditions. Your composite door will never rot, become misshapen ad lose their colour.

The most you’ll ever have to do to one of our composite doors is give the concealed hinges a wash off with hot soapy water once in a while. Just to remove any dirt and grit which inevitably builds up through general wear and tear. Asides from this, we guarantee that your composite door will retain its thermal and security values for many years to come.

Why Invest In A Composite Door?

Composite doors are a drastic upgrade to plastic alternatives. They are designed to withstand corrosive weather conditions, improve your Epsom properties security and require minimal maintenance throughout their long life. Keep your home secure and save money on your expensive energy bills by investing in a composite door this Winter.

A composite door is like a traditional timber door, wearing a suit of armour. They are designed to capture the simplistic and attractive looks of wood, minus the drawbacks of old fashioned and outdated doors. By this we mean that, unlike wood, a composite door will not rot or warp.

Therefore you don’t need to set aside 4 hours of your precious weekend to ultimately end up spraining your back and cutting your fingers open by removing the door and planing it level to the frame.

So, why won’t you end up in A and E when you invest in a composite door? Composite doors are made to last, meaning that you will not need to experience the trauma of removing a door and working on it in your free time. In fact, after our in house team of professionals have installed your door, you’ll never need to paint, varnish or treat your door. The highest quality, guaranteed for an entire decade.

Composite Doors and Energy Efficiency

We don’t need to tell you just how important it is for everyone to play their part in the well being of the planet. What’s fact is every small, environment conscious act snowballs to big change. Choose environmentally friendly solutions, help to eradicate global wastage and lower your expensive heating bills. Composite doors are built to last. Built to resist harsh, cold weather conditions. Built to keep warm air inside and the cold winds out.

Alarmingly, research has proven that as much as 20% of your heating simply passes through ill fitted windows and doors. What are your yearly heating bills? £1200? £1300? Let’s take the latter as an example, working our way forward, using the statistic as an example.

£1200 heating bill per year, with a 20% loss through poorly fitted and inadequate windows and doors. Per month, you essentially open the door walk over to a drain, open your wallet and drop a tenner in it.

You do that every month, and that’s your car insurance sorted for the year. You do that for the entire guarantee of your brand new energy efficient composite door, and that’s a staggering £1200 pounds! Or, a cheeky all inclusive summer holiday in Barcelona for yourself and partner.
