Composite is a term used to describe something when it is made up of many different parts or elements. These modern entranceways are becoming an extremely popular external door style due to their robustness, resilience and appearance. As suggested in the title, composite doors are made from a combination of materials including uPVC, timber, and laminated door skin. The door is built with a highly weatherproof and durable acrylic layer. The materials that make them up are combined and glued under high pressure conditions. This results in an external door that will outperform other styles, such as the uPVC door.
The term ‘composite’ literally means made up of several parts or elements. Our design is made up of a number of materials including a cross-bonded, veneered, laminated, solid timber core with 48mm of thickness. This is what makes our Endurance composite doors stand out from the rest, with our doors having 10% more thickness than average residential designs.
The composite door from Endurance is available in three different collections – Classic, Urban and Country.
Each composite collection offers your a robust timber core with 48mm of thickness, woodgrain effect colours, a wealth of glass options, and hardware and security upgrades to your existing door.
Choose from our wide selection of handles and knockers, and add on extra items such as letterplates or numerals.
With 7 hardware colours to choose from including Gold, Graphite, White, Antique Black, Black and Chrome, you’re sure to find hardware to complement your new composite doors.

Composite doors offer your property a security upgrade. Our doors have been subject to multiple controlled security tests to re-enact the most common forms of attempted burglary. Even the toughest tools will find difficulty in creating a hole through the core of the door, and our locking mechanisms are designs to resist snapping.
Doors from Endurance are expertly manufactured in the UK. They are 10% thicker than the average composite front door and feature a solid timber core. Our design has 48mm of thickness, which is 4mm thicker than the standard. The 48mm timber core delivers unrivalled dimensional stability to eliminate the possibility of warping over time for a durable and low maintenance design.
The door leaf is made up of 17 laminations with a solid timber core. We use BBA accredited, engineered LVL (laminated veneered lumber) which provide our doors with lateral strength. A laminated door skin combines with a highly weatherproof and durable acrylic layer, offering exciting vivid colours and luxurious wood effect designs that perfectly match the door frames into which they are installed.
In addition to this, each composite door is manufactured with an integrated Moisture Barrier System in the base of the door. This extruded cellular profile can protect your door against water damage, delamination and helps to maintain the integrity of the doors over time.
Endurance doors are available in 18 different colours that can perfectly complement any home, rural or urban. We offer you a wide range of customisation options so you can tailor your entrance to suit your personal style and existing decor.
