Your home is your sanctuary. It’s what should serve as a safe space for you and your loved ones, shielding you from the outside world. The importance of your front door as such cannot be underestimated, as the first line of defence for your property.
With break-ins a big concern for homeowners, choosing the right door for your home is about more than just energy efficiency or visual appeal; it’s about peace of mind.
The way a door is designed and manufactured plays a crucial role in keeping your home safe – this is where Endurance’s composite doors excel.
Security Features of Composite Doors
Our composite doors are built with safety in mind. Every component that goes into their creation contributes to a stronger, more resilient structure capable of withstanding break-in attempts.
A standout feature of our doors is their multi-point locking systems. Unlike standard single-point locks, multi-point locks engage at several locations along the frame, usually at the top, middle and bottom.
This means a more even pressure distribution, preventing warping and improving the door’s longevity, as well as enhanced break-in resistance, with the multiple hooks and bolts making levering or prying more difficult.
Our doors, at their core, are built to protect. With a 48 mm thick, cross-bonded, laminated timber core, they deliver unrivalled strength and dimensional stability. This makes them a natural choice for security-conscious homeowners.
How they Compare to uPVC and Timber Doors
Both uPVC and timber doors have their drawbacks. Take the respective cores, as an example. As we know, all Endurance composites are built around a 48 mm solid core. In comparison, uPVC doors are often hollowed or filled with foam, while timber doors are often built with poor-quality wood and weaken significantly over time.
Timber and uPVC doors also suffer from poor weather resistance. After some tough battles with the notorious British weather, the latter can become very brittle, and the former is susceptible to warping and rot.
When you go composite, you’ll also benefit from a much simpler maintenance schedule. uPVC doors suffer greatly from chipped or peeling finishes, while timber doors’ colours fade quickly when exposed to changing temperatures and sunlight.
