Composite doors vs uPVC doors – what is the difference?
The difference between composite doors and uPVC doors is in their construction materials. While uPVC doors consist of an insulated frame sealed in plastic, composite doors are crafted from a blend of materials fused under high pressure. This manufacturing method results in an exceptionally durable door, albeit at a higher cost due to the materials and process involved.
Pros of uPVC Doors
- Cheaper price
- Variety of finishes (including decorative glass)
- Easy to clean
- May contain toughened glass
- Weatherproof
Cons of uPVC Doors
- Flimsy styrofoam core
- Colour fades over time
- All tend to look the same
Pros of Composite Doors
- “Wow” factor
- Highly durable and resistant to wear and tear
- Enhanced security
- Energy efficient
- Weather resistant
Cons of Composite Doors
- More expensive upfront costs
- Heavier, and may require reinforced door frame and hinges
- Creaking noises when exposed to direct sun
Price of Composite Doors
Yes, composite doors fitted are generally more expensive than uPVC doors. So are composite doors worth the hype?
In the last decade, composite doors have quickly become one of the most popular types of entrance doors in Scotland. Composite doors are an excellent choice for the front, back, or even side of your home, because they have highly insulating cores and A energy ratings, which can help reduce your energy bill.
Foam Core or Solid Core Composite Door?
A typical composite door has a foam-filling, whereas a Solid Core Door can contain up to 16 layers of robust timber, making it one of the toughest composite doors available for your home.
We only supply composite doors that feature a contemporary outer frame, have ultra-dense foam cores or are solid core timber inside, and are fully reinforced for maximum strength. If you book a no-obligation quote, we’ll talk through the pros and cons of foam core versus solid core composite doors, to make sure you’re happy with your choice.
No matter what, since they are equipped with a multi-point locking system and unique adjustable hinges, the composite doors we supply and fit offer exceptional security, providing the “wow factor” for your guests, and peace of mind for you.
So what should you budget for composite doors supplied and fitted in your home in Scotland? According to Checkatrade, on average, a composite door with no glass and a basic spec will cost £1,100 to £1,400 and a composite door with glass panels will cost £750 to £1,100.
If you’re worried about that level of investment, uPVC doors are an excellent alternative.
