What is a Composite Door Made Of?

Posted

Today’s homeowners value more than just looks when it comes to choosing a new front door. Strength, security and energy efficiency are all as important as style. This is where Endurance composite doors stand out. 

Unlike other common door choices, uPVC and traditional timber, composite doors are made with a clever combination of materials, each selected for its unique properties. They join forces to create a door that’s weather-resistant, thermally efficient, durable and built to last. 

Join us in this blog, where we break down what a composite door is made of, explore which materials are used, and explain why their advanced and innovative design makes them the best choice for modern homes. 

The Definition of a Composite Door

A composite door is made of multiple materials that have been combined to maximise performance. Instead of relying on a single substance like timber or plastic, composite doors bring together the best of both, providing strength, insulation, security and resilience. 

At Endurance Doors, our composite design is refined into a premium product that gives homeowners superior performance, style and long-term reliability. Each layer in our doors has a purpose, and they combine to form a door that outperforms traditional options.

Materials Used in a Composite Door

The skins of our doors are made from PVC, a tough material that provides outstanding weather resistance, protecting against rain or shine, as well as the extreme temperature changes you come to expect living in the UK.

This helps to prevent the door from warping, cracking or fading, even after years of exposure. It also allows for our realistic woodgrain finish and distinctive aesthetic. 

At the heart of every Endurance Door is a solid timber core, a feature we think sets our door apart from the rest. Unlike foam-filled alternatives, we use engineered laminated timber, which makes the door 10% thicker than others on the market. 

It provides market-leading strength and rigidity, making the door very secure. It also creates a natural insulating barrier, helping to retain heat and reduce noise, all while offering long-lasting structural stability.

The Benefits of Using Multiple Materials

The blend of materials in Endurance composite doors means they deliver a range of benefits that others can’t.

Superior security is achieved through the layered structure and solid core in Endurance doors. This aspect means they are extremely difficult to break or damage in the event of an attempted break-in. 

Exceptional insulation comes in our doors too – their multi-layered construction prevents heat loss and keeps draughts out.

The make-up of an Endurance door also makes it resistant to warping, swelling, cracking or fading over time. This enhanced durability is a necessity for modern doors and upgrades.  

And finally, design flexibility. Our doors are available in a variety of colours, finishes and glazing options, so we can match them to any property style.
