Composite Doors Kirkcaldy

Composite Doors Kirkcaldy are becoming extremely popular to homeowners looking to replace doors in their property.

But why do people go for composite doors rather than PVC doors?

Well at LC Joinery, our website here educates customers so this blog will explain the cost of Composite Doors and what the benefits are.

Composite doors are a beautiful door option, generally thicker than uPVC doors.

They are made from various materials which are compressed together.

The materials are selected specifically for each individual need, and are designed to counteract flaws common in single-material doors.

Thermally Efficient

To keep the winter winds out of your home, our composite doors have been thermally simulated in accordance with BSENISO 10077-2: 2003, and the following specifications using the large outerframe achieve ‘U’ values of 1.8 W/m²K or better.

Strong

As all of our composite doors are made to measure, they bypass any of the weaknesses that can come with cut to fit doors.

This includes a bespoke reinforced inner and outer-frame, which is specially designed to hold high security hardware like locks, deadbolts and hinges.

You won’t have to settle for anything less than a completely secure addition to your home.

Security

The composite doors that we offer are designed to be as strong and secure as possible, bringing you the best in peace of mind.

This includes the use of multipoint locks, steel reinforcement, high performance door hinges with various adjustments for ease, Fab & Fix suited hardware and accessories which hold a Secured By Design accreditation.

This means that your home will be protected against the latest in burglary trends.

Choices of Style

We understand that bringing the perfect composite door to your home is all about how it suits your tastes, as well as the style of your home.

This is why we offer many distinct ranges of composite doors for you to choose from.

No matter what type of home you have, or what door you’re after, we’ll have something to suit.

Glass

Whether you’re looking for something decorative, clear or obscure, our composite doors can be fitted with a choice of glazing options.

This allows you to control the amount of natural light coming into your home, as well as the privacy you can enjoy.

We also offer surrounding glass for you to get a complete an eye-catching look. Whatever your tastes, we’ll have something for you.

Cost of Composite Doors Kirkcaldy

Giving a precise price for a Composite Door is so difficult and all have to be considered in the price structure:

Quality of Door

Composite Doors dependent upon manufacturer come with a CFC-free insulating polyurethane (PU) foam or laminated hardwood core the latter generally being more expensive than the former.

Style

As the manufacture of differing styles require amounts of work (setting up templates/ waste etc) many manufacturers will price differing styles at different prices – if one style is particularly popular and produced in large quantities it may well be discounted.

Colours

The majority of manufacturers do not adjust their price for choice of colours unless you require something non-standard that requires the colour bonding capabilities of a specialist company – an expensive choice.

Glazing

There is a huge difference in price between a clear double-glazed panel and a coloured leaded glass double glazed panel and there are many variables between these two extremes.

Accessories

A minefield of choice with so many styles of handles, knockers, letter-plates in a choice of at least four colours for most manufacturers

Locking System

Multi point locking systems are pretty standard but the choice and price and security of the lock cylinder can vary considerably.

Choice of Company

It is a competitive market and some manufacturers /installers will offer discounts whereas others will stand by their reputations for quality product and service.

What Are The Benefits Of Composite Doors?

There are 3 main benefits of choosing a composite door compared to uPVC or timber.

Design, maintenance and quality.

Secured by Design

Due to their impressive design, our composite doors achieve Secured by Design certification.

This initiative, backed by the UK Police, works to ‘design out crime’ by testing home improvement solutions for their crime prevention performance.

This means that our composite doors have undergone a stringent testing process to secure your home to the highest standards.

Low Maintenance

For your convenience, composite doors utilise a modern design that means they require very little input from you to ensure they look as good as they should.

All you will need to do is give them the occasional wipe down with warm soapy water to keep them fresh.

The GRP skins on these doors are depression moulded, featuring a timber grain effect and high definition panels.

This provides an authentic appearance with minimal maintenance.

Made to Last

All of our composite doors will prove to be a worthwhile investment for your home, manufactured from high impact materials to ensure impressive durability.

Alongside this, they also contains technology which prevents your door from cracking, bending or warping when exposed to the elements.

It’s never been easier to enjoy lasting quality that will continue to keep you warm and comfortable across the year.
