Our Composite Door Collection is a breakthrough in door technology, combining proven levels of high security with incredible good looks… Our Composite Door set is available to meet the requirements of the “Secured by Design” License; which is an official Police Initiative backed by the Home Office Crime Reduction Unit. The full range is certified for performance against extreme weather conditions, whilst being accredited against extreme physical attack methods used by intruders. Our doors give you the peace of mind that your home is protected and safe, no matter what the conditions. Along with the robust door structure, all of our doors are fitted with a multi point locking system, which is endorsed by the Master Locksmiths Association, and approved by all leading UK insurance companies. When it comes to doors, we know there’s far more to it than choosing something that looks good. Our door frames combine style, security and durability. Whatever the style of your home, we’ve got a door to suit.
All of our doors are available a variety of colours and finishes: You’ll never have to worry about painting your door. When we add the colour of your choice during the manufacturing process, that’s the colour it will stay. It won’t fade or crack, and your door will need almost no maintenance. The only problem you might have is deciding which colour to go for…. It’s the unique technology behind our composite doors that makes them so effective. We use an exceptionally stable solid laminate timber core within a reinforced extruded uPVC frame fitted with twin brush piles and a Q-Lon seal to cut out draughts. Combined with advanced security features and double glazing, our doors can handle anything life throws at them. In fact, our composite doors are around six times more durable, secure and thermally efficient than traditional wood doors, and they need little maintenance. Our security systems are second to none, so when you choose one of our doors, you can feel safe inside your home, and reassured that it’s secure when you’re away.
As well as the solid composite structure and sturdy wooden core frame, we use a high-quality latch, double-hook system and three deadbolts in all our composite doors. For maximum peace of mind, you can also choose from a range of high security glazing options. Our Composite range offers variety of options to suit contemporary and period homes alike. Choose from 10 exclusive door designs available in up to 17 different colours with a variety of glazing options.Upvc products are virtually maintenance free and easy to clean. Apart from the odd wipe down with soapy water every now and then, once your products are installed you won’t have to worry about further treatment or maintenance. Upvc is an extremely thermally efficient material and can make your home more efficient than aluminium and timber windows can. Perhaps one of the main reasons that so many people opt for Upvc products is that they are usually the budget option compared to aluminium and timber, plus they are becoming more and more "wood like" as the systems progress.
All our Upvc window and door products are Kommerling Upvc which is currently the most asthetic, highly credited and quality controlled system available in europe. Most of our Upvc Conservatory roofs are Pinnacle by Eurocell which is the strongest roofing system available and is particularly suited to glass roofs and lanterns Timber products can be more versatile than Upvc and aluminium windows. Not having to work within such set manufacturing systems you have greater freedom over the style and overall look of your home. Timber products arguably look more refined, sophisticated and ‘tasteful’ than Upvc and aluminium options. If your home is an older, traditional or rustic property then opting for timber windows instead of Upvc or aluminium may help retain your home’s character and appeal although there are many exceptions to this. As timber is considered to be a sustainable building material because it is derived from a renewable source, installing wooden products will mean you are diminishing your carbon footprint more than if you opt for Upvc or aluminium (as long as you avoid tropical hardwoods).
We use and recommend a timber called Accoya now for 90% of our timber projects as it is simply the most sustainable, stable and durable timber available. It comes with a 60 year service life and is available with a 12 year guarantee on the paint or stain finish. We do however offer all other common hard and softwoods. All our timber products are availible factory sprayed in our Sikkens paint/stain system and can be colour matched to your existing colour, Farrow & Ball or any RAL or BS colour. Aluminium products are structurally stronger and therefore allow for a greater glazed area per aperture in contrast to Upvc and timber. Powder coated aluminium is one of the most durable finishes available. It won’t discolour, rust or peel, giving it a long-lasting, attractive appearance that is available in any RAL or BS colour. Aluminium is particularly suitable for Bi-Folding door sets because of its strength and stability which can be problematic in Upvc and less stable timbers.
We recommend both Schuco & Smart systems for their outstanding strength, aesthetics and durability. Composite entrance doors and French doors are a far more stable and thermally efficent product than Upvc Doors. They are also more "timber like" in appearance and texture. The Solidor Collection is an outstanding range of laminated timber core composite doors. They combine classical styling with a full range of "Secured by Design" locking, which provide a stunning, high quality and secure composite entrance door to any home. These exclusive Solidor doors are available in a wide range of style and colour options, robust thermo plastic skins, and the best hardware available to compliment your Solidor door. We recommend Saint-Gobain Planitherm glazed units because the thermal insulation provided by low-E double glazing is three times more efficient than that of standard double glazing. PLANITHERM products are the ideal low-E solution to meeting and exceeding the newly revised Building Regulations energy efficiency requirements.
