A composite door is one of the most popular choices when considering a new door for your Leeds home. At Select Products, we supply a plethora of these doors.  They are designed to be resilient against intruders and tough weather conditions, while their thick frame is both thermally efficient and soundproof. But you might be wondering what it is made from. In this article, we will explain the manufacturing process in detail. Rea

Composite doors were designed to overcome problems in single material doors, such as warping and rusting. Composite doors are made through an expert construction process that results in undeniable security because it consists of tough and robust materials. Composite describes the parts that are used to construct the door. After it is created, it leaves the factory as a preassembled frame, fitting snugly into the materials. Furthermore, draughtproofing will be installed, protecting it against condensation and tough conditions.

The door itself is made from a 48mm solid timber frame. This creates a strong resilience against tough weather conditions and robust knocks. This is combined with 17 laminated layers, adding extra protection to your home. The frame is also available in many colours that match the door. And there is even an option of a low threshold, which is suitable for both wheelchairs and prams. This is ideal for social events.

The doors’ leaves will also start with an insulating polyurethane foam or a wooden core steel frame with locking and hinge blocks. This foam is designed to make the door lightweight without reducing its strength and durability. This will enhance its look while also being environmentally friendly.

They are then banded at the edges with a 2mm PVC or metal edging strip edging and faced with a 2mm GRP, which is clamped to the doors’ core. The cladding ensures the door doesn’t crack and warp in bad conditions. This helps it last for a lifetime, so you don’t have to worry about it. Furthermore, the GRP is available in many colours, helping you enhance your options. You will even get a choice of glazing options to maximise your creativity.

GRP stands for Glass Reinforced Plastic, which gives the door a realistic timber effect, so the door emulates natural wood. What’s more, this helps the door become extremely low maintenance because all you need to do is wipe it down with a damp cloth and soapy water, and it will look in immaculate condition. The door is also protected by uPVC because it retains its appearance during tough conditions, helping you save money in the long term.
