Frequently Asked Questions

The Benefits Of Composite As A Material

Composite doors feature a combination of materials that are compressed together – providing increased structural integrity and resisting more impact than other materials. This makes composite doors ideal for front doors, as they feature increased security features as well as provide a better barrier against intruders. Simply having a composite front door can deter intruders from even attempting to break into the property. Our composite doors are built to last with an average lifespan of 30+ years.

Are Composite Doors Weather-Proof?

Composite doors are designed to withstand tough weather conditions. Thanks to the Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) and mixture of materials in the door, it has a moisture barrier system to prevent water penetration, and make it resistant to warping, swelling and cracking.

Are Composite Doors Secure?

Yes, composite doors are regularly praised for their security, making them a great option as a front door. Often equipped with multi-point locking systems and reinforced frames, these doors will act as a barrier against any potential intruder.

Are Composite Doors Better Than Wooden Doors?

Modern composite doors are strong and secure, especially compared to wooden doors. Many visually replicate the traditional look of a timber door, yet at a lower cost and without the required maintenance.

Does Adding Glass Compromise Security?

Composite doors are equipped with reinforced double or triple-glazing, which is designed with security in mind. Glazing provides additional security benefits as you have increased visibility into the outside. Glazing is also required for many, as they want to increase the amount of natural light in their homes. A combination of glazing and a composite door doesn’t compromise on security, although the glass is going to be weaker overall than the composite material. Security is a top priority for every part of the door during the manufacturing and installation process to maximise security.

Does Adding Glass Compromise U-Values?

Our double glazing and triple glazing are manufactured, designed and installed to provide exceptional U-values. As your composite front door is the main access point to the outside, it’s important that it’s thermally efficient and has efficient glazing, should you choose this option. We design all of our composite doors that feature glazing with thermal efficiency in mind, so you don’t have to compromise on efficiency for your front door.

How Long Does It Take To Install A Composite Door?

Composite door installation can take as little a 3 to 5 hours. This will include removing the old door, measuring the size of the new opening and fitting the new door. Depending on the complexity of the task at hand, you could have a new composite door before you know it!

How Much Does a Composite Front Door Cost?

The cost of your front door will depend on the door you choose, the optional security extras, and the design of the door itself. When we discuss and provide your free quote, we will discuss all of the features and options that you want and then provide you with the full quotation. Once you are happy with your quote, we will arrange to manufacture and install your composite front door.

Does The Quote Involve the Removal of My Old Door?

Yes, we will ethically remove your door when installing your new composite door. We take environmental responsibility incredibly seriously, and this involves ensuring that all materials are recycled wherever possible to reduce overall environmental impact.

What Kind of Lock is Included?

Ultion is the leading locking system in the UK and is installed with all of our composite front doors as standard. We also have additional security features available should you need this. With anti-locking technology, resistance to drilling and picking, as well as attack protection, your home is safe when choosing a composite front door from Seal-Lite.

What Are Composite Doors Made Of?

A composite door is made up of a combination of various materials. Typically, a wood or foam core, an outer skin of GRP or UPVC and a UPVC or timber inner frame. These materials are all specifically chosen for their strength, to provide you with a robust, durable and weather-resistant door.

What Types Of Composite Doors Are Available?

Composite doors are suitable for both a front door and a back door. They can be installed anywhere in your home.

They’re a great choice for external doors as they are secure and energy efficient, available in a multitude of style and colours, making them a good match for any aesthetic.

What Colours Are Available?

We have a wide selection of colours available with more options available on request. Your composite front door can be matched to emulate classic materials such as timber and we have different styles available to suit your home. With a number of different glazing options available – you are able to customise your front door to suit you.

Are Composite Doors Thermally Efficient?

Our composite doors are built with thermal efficiency in mind. The front door is an area where heat loss can occur, with an estimated 25% to 30% of all heat that is lost in the home due to doors and windows. Upgrading your front door allows you to increase the thermal efficiency of your home and decrease the amount that you spend on energy bills each year. This allows you to make a return on your investment over an extended period of time, especially if you upgrade all of your windows and doors. Investing in insulation upgrades will also improve overall thermal efficiency.

Do Composite Doors Require Regular Maintenance?

Composite doors require little to no maintenance once installed. They do not require treatment and resist elemental damage, and pests and they do not rot. To maintain your composite front door, simply clean the door with a cleaning solution or a specific composite door cleaning solution and a cloth and you will have your door looking good as new. It’s recommended to carry out regular inspections of your door for damage and to oil your door every 6 months. Avoid using WD-40 and instead use light engineering oil.

How Long Do Composite Doors Last?

A composite door will typically have a lifespan of 25 to 30 years. These doors are known for their durability, and when they are well-maintained, they will last for a long time.

Can I Paint A Composite Door?

It’s not recommended to paint a composite door. This is because the surface is designed to be long-lasting and fade-resistant.

uPVC Doors vs Composite Doors

UPVC doors are a highly popular choice as replacement doors and composite doors are typically selected for front doors. UPVC and composite doors are highly similar in their features and benefits, with composite doors being typically up to twice as strong as UPVC doors. We recommend a combination of UPVC doors and a composite door when looking to upgrade your doors to UPVC. Composite doors typically last longer and this combined with increased security and durability makes them the perfect choice for your front door.

Do Composite Doors Fade Or Warp In The Sun?

No, composite is highly resistant to fading or warping from the sun. This is due to UV-resistant construction and the UV resistance of the composite as a material. They can become temporarily swollen in extremely hot weather, which can make them more difficult to open, but they will then return to normal when they go back to regular temperature. Over many years, they may fade slightly, but this takes over a decade on average. Regular cleaning will help maintain the look of your composite front door.

Will The Door Warp Or Crack In Extreme Weather?

In extreme heat, composite doesn’t warp or crack. It will expand, which will make the door harder to open and close until it cools down. This is only in exceptional heat waves, so it is rare in Bristol. The cold has no effect on your composite front door; it will operate completely as normal in extreme cold.

Do Your Doors Reduce Noise And Stop Drafts?

Yes, our composite doors are designed and manufactured to reduce noise and stop drafts from coming into your home or property. This is a very important aspect for front doors, as inefficient doors can let a lot of cold air in during the winter and heat in during the summer. Noise is a concern for many homeowners, and you don’t want to hear noises out on the street, such as shouting or cars.
