Typically, a foam-filled composite door consists of a lightweight core material. These doors are designed to reduce cost, opting for a cheaper internal which can compromise strength and rigidity.
A solid timber composite door, on the other hand, is made from multiple layers of timber. This makes them much denser than foam-filled doors, providing them with structural strength throughout.
They’re designed to perform more closely to a timber door, without the drawbacks typically associated with them.
Stronger, Safer & Built to Last: The Solid Timber Core Advantage
You’ll quickly spot noticeable differences between the two, particularly if you upgrade from the former to the latter. Solid timber core composite doors feel heavier and more substantial.
They’re more resistant to warping and bowing, helping them last much longer than foam-filled doors. The added security and impact resistance they provide to your home are a welcome improvement.
Endurance Doors’ solid timber core technology adds strength and stability you can rely on, making them the smarter option for your home.
Why Core Material Matters When Choosing a Door
The core material should be something you investigate properly when searching for a new front door. If your old one has a weak core, it might be time to make a change.
Solid core doors make forced entry into your home significantly more difficult. Thicker, denser doors provide much better resistance against heavy impacts and attacks, and their weight provides reassurance and peace of mind that your home is protected whether you’re home or away.
Thicker Composite Doors for Better Thermal & Acoustic Performance
The thickness of our doors helps retain heat inside your home, keeping the cold out and reducing draughts. Better insulation means more consistent temperatures internally and lower energy bills.
Perhaps undervalued but certainly important, the thickness of our composite doors helps to reduce the intrusion of external noise. This makes them a wise choice for homes situated on busy streets.
