Choosing the right front door for your home is crucial. It’s not just about aesthetics but also about security, durability, and energy efficiency. Two popular options are composite and uPVC doors. Here’s a quick guide to help you make an informed decision:
Material Composition
Composite Doors: Composite doors are made from a combination of materials such as wood, PVC, insulating foam, and glass-reinforced plastic (GRP). This combination makes them sturdy, durable, and resistant to warping, fading, and cracking. Our composite doors are a perfect fusion of aesthetics, security, and durability, making them a standout choice for your home’s entrance.
uPVC Doors: Are lightweight and have a smooth surface, making them easy to maintain and clean. Crafted for durability and security, our uPVC doors guarantee high-performance standards as a standard feature.
Security
Composite Doors: Known for their high-security features, the robust construction and multi-point locking systems provide excellent resistance against forced entry.
uPVC Doors: While generally secure, composite doors are more robust. However, additional locking mechanisms can enhance security in uPVC doors.
Aesthetics
Composite Doors: Composite doors offer a wide range of designs, finishes, and colours, often mimicking the appearance of traditional wooden doors. With a wide range of designs, colours, and finishes to choose from, you can effortlessly find the perfect door to match your home’s unique character. Whether you seek a traditional or contemporary look, NWC’s composite doors offer the ideal solution.
uPVC Doors: uPVC doors come in various styles but may not offer the same level of aesthetic versatility as composite doors. However, they are available in different colours and finishes.
Energy Efficiency
Composite Doors: Due to their layered construction, composite doors typically have better insulation properties. This helps maintain consistent indoor temperatures and reduce energy bills.
uPVC Doors: Provide good insulation but may not be as effective as composite doors in extreme weather conditions.
Maintenance
Composite Doors: Composite doors require minimal maintenance. Occasional cleaning with soapy water is usually sufficient to keep them looking new. They do not need to be repainted or treated regularly.
uPVC Doors: uPVC doors are known for their low maintenance. They resist rotting, rusting, and fading, requiring only occasional cleaning to maintain their appearance.
