how to clean endurance composite doors

The Importance of Cleaning Composite Front Doors

Composite doors are easy to maintain and keep them looking their best. If you’re looking to clean your front door, all you need is a bucket of soapy water and a soft cloth. There’s no need to use rough or abrasive materials, and you won’t want to scrub your composite door. This could damage its beautiful exterior, and their resilience and durability mean they will never collect enough dirt or grime to need this kind of rigorous cleaning anyway.

Endurance composite doors are one of the easiest front doors to clean. Compared to lesser door styles made from singular materials, such as timber, composite doors feature this aesthetic with none of the high maintenance drawbacks. Wooden front doors will warp, rot or crack over time. But cleaning composite doors is much simpler, as none of these issues occurs. Endurance doors are easy to clean with just water and a cloth, preserving their stunning exterior.

Why Endurance Doors Don't Warp

Most commonly, timber and uPVC doors are installed and after some time the moisture inside them evaporates, resulting in shrinkage and warping. The way in which our composite doors are created counteracts these issues and make for a weatherproof and durable solution that will stand the test of time. You won’t have to worry about leaks, draughts or water ingress.

Rockdoor and Solidor Reviews

Negative 1 Star Reviews

As of recent months, Rockdoor and Solidor have been bombarded with an influx of negative reviews regarding the warping of their composite doors. Unfortunately, these negative reviews are having an effect on the suppliers and installers as opposed to just the manufacturing brand.

Rockdoor Composite Doors

Rockdoor, in particular, has received a review regarding in installation of a Rockdoor from SRJ. However, SRJ has had to take the brunt of the review when in fact, the issue lay solely with the door itself, not the installation.

After having three replacement doors due to the issues of their door warping for the 3rd time, the customer stated: “We were going to use SRJ to replace the double glazing for the whole house – we won’t be now”. Such a comment puts a negative impact on the installer rather than the manufacturer of the doors.

As the customer mentioned, SRJ is a trusted installer of Rockdoor. However, due to this issue, they are now marked as a poor installer by this customer. SRJ is the installer here, meaning that they only install a door that has been prior built by Rockdoor. The issue of the door warping is inevitable due to the door itself, not the installation process, and Rockdoor reviews do not accurately reflect this.

Solidor Composite Doors

Solidor composite doors are commonly known as one of the top leading composite door manufacturers. However, after looking among Solidor reviews, we have found that with an average rating of just three stars on TrustPilot, they have a range of negative reviews regarding the warping of their doors.

How Are Composite Doors Made?

17 Laminations

Our composite doors are made up of 17 laminations with a solid timber core. We use BBA accredited, engineered LVL (laminated veneered lumber.). Our 48mm thick core offers exceptional stability and eliminates the possibility of warping over time. Each door is manufactured with an integrated Moisture Barrier System in the base of the door which protects your door from water damage, delamination and maintains its integrity, avoiding common problems with composite doors.

Door Skin

Endurance composite doors feature a laminated door skin with a highly weatherproof and durable acrylic layer, offering exciting vivid colours and luxurious wood effect designs that perfectly match the door frames into which they are installed. Our replacement front doors are finished with a foiled 3D Cool Skin that features an embossed woodgrain texture to offer a surface that won’t crack or fade. Available in 16 colours ranging from neutral shades to bold bright tones, you can create a composite door solution that is colour lasting and will continue to look great even after years of use. Once you’ve selected the style, and design of your new door and applied your preferred colour you can add finishing touches to your composite door with a wide selection of hardware and security options. Select from handles, knockers and letter plates to personalise your door and make it your own.

Hardware Options

With 10 hardware colours to choose from including Gold, Graphite, Antique Black and Chrome you’ll be spoiled for choice when it comes to putting the final touch to your composite door. Created to blend into the surroundings of your property and to complement your existing décor, we know that you’ll be pleased with the finished result.

what are the benefits of the solid timber core external doors

Solid Timber Core

The Endurance door has a solid core unlike others. This robustness means there are more advantages and far fewer problems with composite doors from us compared to other companies.

With 48mm thick cross-bonded veneered laminated timber door lead, Endurance composite doors deliver lateral strength and unrivalled stability.

We use Kerto LVL for our solid core, a material which is incredibly strong and dimensionally stable timber beam. The makeup of our solid core is designed so that it can be cut to any height or width without affecting its integral strength.

Our solid core competitors use cores that incorporate less dense mixed species woods with a stile and rail subframe. The core’s strength comes from the outer subframe in these doors. A narrow or short door involves cutting into this subframe and cutting away the strength of the door. These doors don’t always hold their shape when facing the temperature changes of British weather and central heating.

We are so confident in the quality of our Endurance composite door we offer a 3mm bowing guarantee on our doors.
