Your front door creates a vital first impression while ensuring safety and weatherproofing. This makes choosing the right one for your home an important decision.
Composite doors have surged in popularity thanks to their strength, aesthetics and low-maintenance durability.
When selecting a new composite door, consider the following key factors to pick the perfect home option.
Composite doors feature internal frames constructed from durable materials like PVC, wood, insulating foam and GRP glass-reinforced plastic skins.
These layered components deliver enhanced security, energy efficiency, and soundproofing capabilities that are missing from traditional wooden doors.
Be sure to choose a sturdy reinforced frame as a starting point for maximum security before customising aesthetics. Skandoor’s composite front doors feature an exceptionally durable 48mm thick solid timber core.
From classic four and six-panel layouts to modern, contemporary looks, composite doors offer nearly endless style options.
Most manufacturers provide design templates spanning traditional and contemporary aesthetics.
Consider your home’s existing architectural style when selecting a complementary look.
Customisation colour matching and accents through accompanying sidelights, transom windows or decorative glass inserts allow fully personalised styling as well.
Standard composite doors are available in colours like classic black, white, blue, red and wood grain options. However, Skandoor offers a huge variety of colours, from elegant whites and greys to punchy blues and greens.
This allows you to perfectly coordinate exterior paint shades for a seamless, deliberately designed facade.
If aiming for a pop of colour contrast, vibrant composite doors in yellow, green and more eye-catching hues make for an attractive statement.
You can also opt for matching front and garage doors from Skandoor for a harmonious aesthetic.
Proper insulation is key for exterior doors in hot or cold climates. Composite door’s dense foam insulation cores enable U-Values as low as 0.8W/m2K.
This ensures excellent thermal performance, reducing energy costs alongside external noise.
Alongside security features like multi-point locks, composite doors offer customisable modern or traditional hardware finishes.
Satin chrome, polished brass, black nickel and more provide possibilities for matching existing fixtures across your home or establishing a new style motif at the main entry point. Ensure all hardware meets certification standards for the highest security assurances when specifying your composite door kit.
By prioritising construction, design, colour, insulation, and hardware – you’re sure to select the optimal composite door solution for your individual home needs.
With near-endless potential configurations between trusted brands, you can hand-pick a door that checks all boxes aesthetically and functionally.
