Should You Replace Your uPVC Back Door With A Composite Door?

For many homeowners, the security of a front door is a top priority. But it’s all too easy to overlook the strengths and potential vulnerabilities of a back door. This weakness is far too often exploited by potential intruders looking to gain easy access to a property. What’s more, you can let down the overall performance of your property with a poor uPVC back door, whether this has suffered over time or is simply not up to scratch from the moment it is installed.

Homeowners pay most attention to their front door, as this is what most passers-by will see and it feels like the most important investment to make for a property. In comparison, uPVC back doors aren’t in the public eye as much if at all, and they are only usually seen by friends and family when they come to visit. But potential intruders understand this, and they know that this potential oversight can make uPVC back doors an all too tempting weakness to exploit.

Just as outdated uPVC back doors can have the unfortunate potential to let people into your property, they can also allow cold air to breach into your living space and let warm air escape from your home as well. This means you’ll have to spend more on your heating bills to keep your home cosy. As a result, uPVC back doors are not the most thermally efficient investment you can make.

For many homeowners who have always had only a uPVC back door and made no attempt to change its look and feel, they may not think that there are many style possibilities. With Endurance, this isn’t the case. uPVC back doors often feature a distinctive aesthetic of white uPVC with little to no embellishment or decorative features. Although these doors most likely won’t see as much traffic as your front door, you’ll still be welcoming friends and family through the rear of your property. That’s why it’s important to consider back door style too.
