Your front door plays a bigger role than you think. It’s the first thing guests notice as they approach, it’s a key part of your home’s security, and as we’ll discuss today, an essential barrier against heat loss.
Over time, even the sturdiest-looking doors can start to show their age and begin to neglect their thermal responsibilities. Upgrading to a modern composite door transforms both your home’s appearance and performance.
Signs You Need a Door Upgrade
Before investing in a new door, it’s useful to recognise when it’s time for an upgrade. We’ll discuss some common signs to help you decide if a change might be due.
Drafts and cold spots are something you might notice. If you feel a chill near the door, there’s a good chance that air may be seeping through gaps or worn seals.
Visible wear and damage are signs of a tired front door. Cracks, peeling paint or warping can often indicate a loss of structural integrity. Likewise, declining functionality, such as difficulty opening or closing, can signal age-related issues.
A hike in your energy bills points towards your front door as a likely culprit, and makes the investment in a composite door worthwhile.
How Composite Doors Improve Energy Efficiency
If you’ve decided that your entrance is due for an upgrade, look no further. Thanks to the make-up of our Endurance Doors, designed with a solid timber core and a durable outer skin, our doors deliver several key benefits.
The layered core of our doors provides superior insulation, trapping heat inside your home and keeping cold air out. Our doors’ tight seals and weatherproofing also ensure a perfect fit to reduce drafts and leaks.
Composite materials are also proven to transfer less heat than traditional timber or uPVC, ensuring the warmth and cosiness of your home can be maintained in those bitter winter months.
Of course, when your home achieves better thermal efficiency, you’ll save money on your heating bills. There’ll be much less heating required in your home, and you can enjoy a comfortable home and a healthier bank balance.
Eco-Friendly Benefits
Decreasing heating bills is a benefit for you and the environment. Better insulation means less energy wasted and fewer CO₂ emissions, reducing your carbon footprint.
Endurance Doors are also made from sustainable materials. 100% of the wood we use is traceable to Finnish forests. And, for each tree felled for our production, we plant four seedlings.
To top it off, we even ensure that none of our waste is sent to landfill. We take our environmental responsibilities very seriously.
