Composite Doors for Porches & Enclosed Entrances: What to Consider

Posted

Porches are popular for more than just their appearance. They provide increased insulation, weather protection and practicality to homes across the United Kingdom.

Adding a porch also introduces the need for a second door between it and the main house. Endurance composite doors are perfect for this internal-external transition.

You’re looking for a door that delivers on all important fronts: thermal performance, security, glazing and style. Endurance delivers on all fronts.

Why Composite Doors Work Well in Porches

The durability and stability of an Endurance composite door help combat changing temperatures in the porch. Resistant to moisture, warping and swelling, our doors’ solid core construction suits high-use areas perfectly.

Low maintenance and long-lasting, your upgraded entrance will serve your home reliably for years. Secure the long-term performance and functionality of your porch by investing in proven Endurance quality.

Thermal Separation & Energy Efficiency

A porch acts as a buffer between the outdoors and inside, so it must be properly insulated. An internal door helps retain heat, blocking draughts and keeping heat inside – maintaining a comfortable temperature.

Endurance composite doors’ solid core construction and weatherproof seals ensure excellent performance, helping to reduce heat loss from your hallway and living spaces.

Security Between Your Porch and Home

In homes with a porch, the internal door becomes the primary security barrier. Choosing a secure door is therefore essential for safety and peace of mind.

Endurance composite doors provide strength through their solid timber core. Around 10% thicker than typical composite doors, our 48mm thick laminated solid timber core delivers unmatched stability.

Our multipoint locking systems allow you to relax in your home knowing you’re properly protected. Instead of relying on a single locking point, they secure your door at multiple points along the frame.

Glazing, Privacy & Ventilation Choices

Our glazing options let you strike the right balance between hallway light and privacy. If you’d like total privacy, we offer solid doors with no glazed area whatsoever.

If you’d like to let some natural light inside and brighten your entrance, obscure or decorative glass options are a wise choice. Or, if you aren’t concerned about privacy and are looking to prioritise brightness, doors like our May include a much greater glass ratio.
