What Are Composite Doors Made Of?
Endurance composite doors are made of a selection of materials including a 48mm thick solid timber core with 17 layers of engineered timber, as well as durable uPVC and laminated door skin. Each material is chosen for its specific properties, fused together to result in one of the strongest door materials currently on the market. Unlike uPVC doors which are made of just plastic, a composite door from Endurance is made of a number of materials that are pressed and glued together under high pressure conditions. You will see exactly what our composite doors are made of.

What is a composite door made of? Usually, most design feature glass reinforced plastic, or GRP. This is a fibre-reinforced polymer made of a plastic matrix and is reinforced by fine fibres of glass. While doors featuring GRP can be lightweight, they are not as robust and durable as Endurance composite doors, meaning they do not afford you and your home the same levels of protection and thermal efficiency.
The materials that make an Endurance door mean you can enjoy more benefits than those manufactured using GRP. Our composite doors include a solid timber core beneath an aesthetic that offers the traditional look and feel of timber, just like GRP doors, but with improved levels of performance. As a result, you can enjoy exceptional levels of style and functionality for many years to come.
What is a composite door going to do about protecting you? With a timber core, Endurance’s doors are the first choice when it comes to securing your home and keeping you safe and protected. Our 48mm thick solid timber door slab has proven to be sledgehammer-proof, which gives you an idea about the level of security they provide.
Each of our doors has undergone controlled security tests to replicate common forms of attempted burglary or break-ins, to make sure that the inner core can withstand an attack and maintain its integrity. Enjoy complete peace of mind by choosing Endurance Composite Doors.
