Composite doors are the newest type of door used in homes and have been designed taking into consideration the common flaws experienced in singular material doors – which means common flaws on regular doors have been all but ironed out. They’re made up from a variety of materials, including PVC, wood, insulating foam and GRP which make them a great choice as they’re highly secure, have excellent weather resistance and boast superb thermal efficiency.
