The four most common door materials

Choosing the right door goes hand in hand with picking the perfect material, tailored to your home’s character. Each material brings its own set of delightful features and benefits.

UPVC – If you’re looking for an affordable option that doesn’t compromise on quality, UPVC is your go-to. It excels in soundproofing and thermal efficiency, all while being incredibly easy to maintain.

Composite – For those seeking strength with style, composite doors have got you covered. Their multi-layered construction provides unbeatable durability, making them ideal for front entrances. Plus, with a weather-resistant GRP outer layer, they keep their designer flair regardless of the elements.

Aluminium – Surprisingly lightweight yet incredibly durable, aluminium doors offer a stunningly sleek aesthetic. We expertly shape this versatile material to create bi-fold, patio, and entrance doors that elevate any space.

Timber – While raw timber can be prone to decay, high-quality timber stands strong against the elements and requires minimal maintenance. Its versatility allows for crafting doors in a variety of shapes and sizes, adding warmth and character to your home.
