We are not just a product of our environment; our immediate surroundings are also a product of us. As a result, it’s common for properties to mirror the personalities of those inhabiting them.
Our design, material and colour choices all play a significant role in representing our style, especially the choices we make on exterior elements like our front doors. But with so many different designs on the market, choosing a front door can be overwhelming. However, solid core composite doors are not only beautiful, they’re also made from high-quality and durable materials, making them the superior choice when it comes to caring for your home and family.
We have outlined below the eight most significant benefits of composite doors to help you decide whether they are right for you.
The Benefits
Property experts often describe the front door as a home’s focal point, providing subtle hints of a property’s interior to passers-by. Therefore, choosing a front door is one of the most important decisions when redecorating the exterior of your home.
Over the last few years, solid core composite doors have become a popular choice amongst UK homeowners. This popularity could be attributed to their myriad of benefits, including high-quality craftmanship, durability and a remarkable solid wood core. Below we have expanded on these benefits to help you understand how a solid core composite door could elevate your home.
1. Increased Security
A solid core composite door offers superb protection against potential intruders; its strong timber core is designed to help keep your home and family safe. In fact, here at Solid Core you can rest assured that our composite doors adhere to the official police security initiative Secured by Design (SBD), making your home a safe place to live, work and raise a family.
2. Aesthetic Appeal
Your front door is one of the first things guests notice when visiting your home, so it’s important it makes a great first impression every time. Whether you choose a traditional style to complement your classy home or a contemporary design to add some ultramodern flair, a solid core composite door guarantees your home will stand out from your neighbours.
3. Maintenance Free
One of the most significant benefits of composite doors is that they don’t require costly and time-consuming maintenance. Unlike traditional wooden doors, composite doors are unlikely to crack, fade, warp or rot, so there’s no need to worry about repainting or replacing. A simple wipe with a damp, soapy cloth every now and then will help keep your front door looking brand new.
4. Enhanced Durability
Compared to the generic composite door, a solid core door is made from sixteen layers of laminated veneer timber to enhance its durability and strength. As a result, your front door is able to maintain its pristine appearance for decades.
5. High Quality
The look and feel of a solid core composite door speaks for itself; using only high-quality materials, expert manufacturers take the utmost care when designing and building each and every door. Therefore, you can rest assured your front door will stand the test of time with minimal wear and tear.
6. Customisable
Most of us dream of a home perfectly representing our style and individuality. Solid core composite doors can turn this dream into a reality with over fifty door designs and a beautiful range of door colours, including Rosewood, Duck Egg and Golden Oak. In addition, you can choose from a selection of forty-five glazed panels, all of which will fill your home with natural light whilst keeping the cold British weather at bay. No matter your preferred style, our online door designer allows you to create a bespoke front door from the comfort of your home.
7. Improved Thermal Performance
We’re all feeling the pinch during the cost-of-living crisis so every step we can take towards a more energy-efficient home is a necessary one. Luckily for you, the thermal efficiency of solid core composite doors is second to none. With an insulating core, your home will no longer suffer from those pesky draughts, keeping your home warm during the winter months whilst also reducing your energy bills.
8. Reduced Noise Pollution
A solid core composite door’s composition helps keep your home quiet and peaceful, no matter where you live. Noisy neighbours, busy roads, and air traffic are no longer problems with composite doors as they keep unwanted noise outside.
