The first impression a visitor gets of a home is the front door and it is important both for the home and the owner that it looks its best.

Historically, the choice of entrance door has been limited to timber,which can expand, contract or warp and requires regular maintenance, or PVCu,which lacks the authentic wooden door look and can expand and warp.

GRP faced composite doors offer the perfect alternative

The skins on our door are manufactured from GRP (Glass Reinforced Polyester).They are compression moulded to give a high definition panel design,which offers authentic timber appearance, and the thermosetting manufacturing process means that they are unaffected by variations in temperature.

The stiles and rails are of a water resistant composite material, and are bonded to the skins.

The insulating core consists of 100% CFC-free, polyurethane,which provides superior thermal performance and enhances the doors soundproofing.

The finished product is a door which is strong, stable, durable, secure and which is indiscernible from timber.
