Composite doors are a popular choice when considering a new front door for your Cornwall home. With their combination of security and style, these doors are designed to enhance the look and functionality of your property. Whether you’re renovating or simply upgrading your entryway, composite doors offer a range of benefits that make them an ideal choice for homes in Cornwall.
There are several reasons to choose a composite door; here are just a few.
What is a Composite Door?
A composite door is a type of exterior door made from a combination of materials, each selected for its specific properties to enhance the door’s performance. Unlike traditional doors made from a single material like wood or uPVC, composite doors are constructed from several layers, typically including a solid timber core, uPVC, insulating foam, and a durable outer skin made of glass-reinforced plastic (GRP). This multi-layered construction offers superior strength, security, and insulation compared to other door types, making composite doors an excellent choice for both durability and energy efficiency.
Why choose a composite door for your Cornwall home?
Composite doors offer superior durability, insulation, and security compared to uPVC doors. Their multi-layer construction ensures better resistance to weather and wear, making them more energy-efficient and longer-lasting while also enhancing the overall look of your home.
Here’s why they stand out.
Durability and Weather Resistance
Composite doors from DNA Window Solutions are built to be weather resistant. Unlike traditional timber doors, composite doors won’t warp, crack, or fade due to exposure to the weather. Composite doors are made from a combination of materials, including uPVC, wood, and insulating foam, and are designed to stand the test of time.
Enhanced Security Features
One of the main reasons homeowners choose composite doors is their high security. With multi-point locking systems and state of the art security, composite doors provide peace of mind. We use high-quality materials and advanced technology, all made in the UK.
Our doors can offer advanced locks that activate lockdown mode during attempted break-ins, providing the utmost protection. Other doors feature a solid timber core and multi-point locking systems for exceptional strength and security, all meeting rigorous safety standards. No matter which option you choose, our doors are designed to keep your home safe and secure.
Customisation Options
One of the best features of composite doors is their versatility. Available in a wide range of colours, styles, and finishes, you can create a door that perfectly complements the look of your home.
At DNA Window Solutions, our innovative online door designer tool allows you to fully customise a stunning range of composite door styles before purchasing. You can choose the perfect size, door style, and colours for both the door and frame, select your preferred glazing type and texture, and even customise the handles and hardware. This ensures your new composite door perfectly fits your home’s style and personal taste, giving you complete control over every detail.
Energy Efficiency
Composite doors are renowned for their superior thermal insulation, making them an ideal choice for energy-conscious homeowners. Thanks to their solid core and multi-layered construction, these doors provide exceptional thermal efficiency. The dense material helps to trap heat inside your home during the winter, keeping it warm and reducing the need for excessive heating. In the summer, the same insulating properties prevent heat from entering, keeping your home cooler and more comfortable. This efficiency helps reduce your energy consumption, leading to lower energy bills and a smaller carbon footprint. Composite doors contribute to a more eco-friendly lifestyle while also adding long-term value to your property.
Stylish Designs
A composite front door will be the first thing visitors see of your home; it isn’t just functional – it’s also a design statement. Whether you prefer a traditional look or something more contemporary, our comprehensive range of composite doors is available in various colours, textures, and finishes. You can choose from woodgrain effects or bold modern hues, ensuring your door perfectly fits your home’s aesthetic.
