Composite doors are the ideal solution when you know your time can be better spent doing something other than painting a wooden door. And with a massive collection of terrific styles available, these bespoke composite doors can be sized to suit your home or property.

We supply them as a ‘set’, hinged, glazed, and with your choice of handle cover. Multi-point locks, designed to secure your home, and draught excluders to keep it warm, are provided as standard.

Composite doors are manufactured using several different materials, selected specifically for their qualities and benefits.

This combination means the product possesses the strengths of each individual material used, while diminishing the weaknesses. A range of different materials can be combined, including wood, PVC, and insulating foam.

Each of our composite door manufacturers are based in the UK, and as three of the UK’s premier suppliers, all meet high standards of production and quality.

The doors and side panels are highly durable, and each come with a 10-year guarantee as standard, although you can expect each door to last much closer to 25 years.

In comparison to their wooden counterparts, composite doors are superior in both security and durability. They are not prone to warping and are highly resistant to bumps and dents. In general, the amount of maintenance required over the lifetime of the door is much lower than a wooden door.

General Construction:

See each product for exact specification.

Composite doors offer more heat insulation, estimated at around 600% more than wooden doors. This will help to reduce energy consumption and increase the value of your property.

If your budget won’t stretch to an external composite door, you may also be interested in our brilliant PVC doors or, for a completely different look, check out our oak doors.

The Virtuoso range, regardless of the chosen door, will virtually meet or exceed the "Secure By Design" standard as promoted by the Police.

High security hinges, locks and handles are incorporated as standard, a choice of sill dimensions which could be supplied loose for on-location fitting.

Measuring and Fitting:

When measuring for your composite door sizes:

Just a word of caution, the LPD doors are used for retro fitting and the measure should be between your existing timber frame while the Virtuoso Composite and XL Composite are supplied with a PVC frame and all fittings, the measure should therefore be between the walls and care must be taken to make sure the exterior dimensions and the interior dimensions are checked.

Width: LPD Doors, Measure the door opening between the frame.

Height: LPD Doors, Measure from the floor covering to the underside of the timber lintel.

Thickness: LPD Doors, all are 44-45mm thick.
