When it comes to building or refurbishing projects for social housing, local authorities have a responsibility to ensure that they provide their residents with safe and comfortable homes for both now and in the future. One crucial aspect of this is choosing the right front door. This is where composite doors come into play.
There are many types of doors, but composite doors are an excellent investment for local authorities as they offer numerous benefits that go beyond just being aesthetically pleasing. In this blog, we take a closer look at why composite doors are an excellent choice for an external door and should be considered when planning these projects:
Enhanced security
The security features of composite doors make them ideal for social housing projects. With solid timber cores, high density foam insulation, and GRP skins (Glass Reinforced Plastic), these external front doors offer utmost protection against intruders for complete peace of mind for residents.
Thermal efficiency
Energy efficiency is another key consideration when selecting entrance door options for buildings. Composite materials help reduce heat loss through thermal bridging points like windowsills or frames which leads to lower energy bills for homeowners.
Sound insulation
Living in close proximity within communities means noise pollution can become an issue; however, composite door designs provide excellent sound insulation properties making sure residents enjoy peace within their homes.
The right colour and look
Composite front doors come in various styles ranging from traditional to contemporary designs, as well as a wide range of colours, so you can find the perfect match that complements your project’s aesthetics.
A cost-effective solution
Composite front doors may cost more upfront compared to uPVC doors, but their durability makes them a wise long-term investment. They require minimal maintenance, are weather resistant and can withstand wear and tear over time, saving money on repairs or replacements.
Environmental benefits
As we strive towards sustainable living practices across the UK, using composite doors reduces our carbon footprint as well because they’re made from recycled materials themselves! By investing in new composite door installations instead of replacing old ones regularly due to wear and tear, we can help preserve natural resources.
