Winter is the time when a front door is really tested, making its construction, weather resistance and thermal performance particularly important.
Composite doors can vary considerably in their construction and specification, so you should look beyond appearance when comparing options. This article covers the features worth considering when choosing a door designed to provide year-round performance.
What’s Behind Your Composite Door?
The materials and construction behind a door influence its strength, stability and overall performance. Endurance composite doors feature a 48mm solid timber core, providing strength, rigidity and structural stability.
Security should be considered across the complete doorset rather than focusing on one component alone. Endurance doors use the ABS Master locking cylinder, which is designed to resist snapping, picking and bumping methods of attack.
For additional peace of mind, qualifying Endurance doors are supported by our £2,000 Security Guarantee, which applies to qualifying entry achieved by snapping the ABS Master cylinder. Registration and full terms and conditions apply.
Keeping the British Weather Outside
Winter performance isn’t simply about keeping rain out. Your front door should also help minimise heat loss and maintain comfort inside your home. Endurance’s Moisture Barrier System is designed to protect the timber core against moisture ingress and associated issues like warping, rotting and bowing.
Double glazing is standard across glazed styles, with triple glazing available as an upgrade across relevant doors for homeowners looking to enhance the glazing specification.
More Than What’s Inside the Door
Choosing a well-specified door is only part of the process; correct installation is also important to its overall performance. We encourage you to work with an authorised Endurance installer when purchasing and arranging installation.
Choosing an Endurance door also gives you plenty of flexibility over its appearance. Our broad choice of door styles, colours, glazing and hardware allows you to personalise your entrance while considering security, thermal performance and durability.
