As experienced Solidor composite door installers, we are proud to install one of the most energy-efficient entrance doors on the market, across Bristol & Somerset. Solidor has an extensive range of composite doors, which are highly admired for their stunning design and their high-performing qualities. But what does ‘composite door’ actually mean?…
High-performing composite doors
The design of a composite door takes into consideration common defects that are frequently found in doors that utilize a single material. Composite doors, however, are made up of several materials, that are each chosen for a specific benefit: which not only makes composite doors highly secure and extremely thermally efficient, but makes them exceptionally versatile when it comes to the style too. A composite door means your property will be super secure, energy-efficient, and can be designed to suit the style of the property: whether you want your replacement door to replicate a traditional timber door or, want the aesthetics of a super modern and contemporary entryway.
What are the best composite doors made of?
1. Thermally efficient uPVC door frame
Our composite doors are fitted with a 5 chambered uPVC door frame. The door frame supports the regulation of temperature in your home, preventing heat from escaping and blocking the cold British air for entering: perfect for coastal properties in Clevedon and Weston-Super-Mare that can feel the sea breeze!
2. 44mm solid timber core
Our composite doors are 10% thicker than competitors. The 44mm solid timber core will not only contribute to the thermal efficiency of your home, but it will also play an integral part in keeping you and your family safe. This is because timber is incredibly strong, so intruders will not be able to quietly drill or cut through the door to gain access.
3. ABS Skin
The exterior coating of a Solidor composite door is strengthened with an innovative 1.7mm PVC skin (the same material that Lego is manufactured from, and we know how strong that is). The skin is made of a solid colour and can be finished with a wood grain effect. As the PVC skin is completely scratch, warp, and rot-resistant, you can achieve the timeless aesthetics of a traditional timber door without having to worry about any of the maintenance.
4. Ultion locking system
As standard, every Solidor is fitted with an Ultion Lock. An innovative locking system, the Ultion lock features a proactive ‘lockdown mode’, which is activated when it detects an attempted forced entry. Lockdown mode will effectively protect you from intruders and has a £1000 guarantee from the manufacturer!
