Quality Front Doors

Saving money when buying a composite front door is great, everybody loves getting a good deal. But with so many cheap front doors on the market, it is important to look at what you are actually getting for your “bargain” price.

Composite Door Security

Locking systems can be one of the first things that have their corners cut when it comes to selling cheap front doors. Your homes security is so important, yet so many people will choose a door with old fashioned or cheaply constructed security, just to save a few extra pounds. This could cost you in the long run and it is always best to look for a door with a multi-locking system, to give you peace of mind for the security of your home and family.

Composite Door Build

The actual build of the door itself is also very important, with great strength and energy efficiency found in well-made doors.  This brings us to Twin Rebated doors.

Composite Doors

What are Twin Rebated Doors?

A rebate is a deep grove cut into the edge of your door frame to allow your door to have a nice, snug fit. Most front doors will only have one of these rebates. Twin rebate doors are one of the best available doors on the market, with two rebates and a 59% thicker build than a standard door.

Our Twin Rebate Composite doors are constructed from high quality, strong and durable material. This high quality build has earned them an A Rating for Energy Performance, with our doors proving to be 19% more thermally efficient than a standard front door. This helps keep your energy costs down and keep your home lovely and warm.  The extra door thickness also allows our Twin Rebated Composite Doors to be fitted with Triple Glazed glass as standard, giving even more energy efficiency and great noise reduction for your home.

As we mentioned home security and the important of a good quality front door above, the twin rebated composite door is exactly that. Most burglaries occur through the front doors of UK homes, so it important we keep this as secure as possible.  Our twin rebated composite doors have been manufactured in line with the “Secured by Design” accreditation.  This is a UK police approval for security products which tests our doors to strict guidelines to be given this seal of approval.

How much are composite doors?

Twin rebated composite doors are more expensive than standard front doors. From the above I am sure you can now understand why this is.  Having a thicker, stronger door with triple glazed glass and a top of the range locking system does come at a cost. But it is more of an investment than a cost, a twin rebated composite door should last you years and continue to keep your home safe, secure and energy efficient for years to come.
