Composite Door means a doors made up of two or more materials. Composite, Wooden or PVC doors have almost similar looks, but Composite Doors are preferable due to several advantages. New technology has made composite doors similar in texture and appearance as compared to wooden doors.
Composite doors have a solid wood interior. It consists of a wooden structure with a composite material covering. It has the strength of a solid wooden door. They are superior to PVC doors by the fact that they are capable of protecting your doors from outside elements like rain, wind or snow. The cover is made up of GRP material and will not discolor or fade. A PVC door often discolors from sun or weather change to a yellow or brown shade.
The real difference between the PVC and Composite gates is the raw material. A typical PVC door is hollow inside and filled with polystyrene plastic to give insulation properties. Its insulation capability is good but not as good as a composite entrance door and also it is not very secure in case of burglary.
In Comparison to wooden doors, composite ones are quite attractive and wooden doors also require high maintenance like painting and varnishing. Even with good maintenance, the doors will loose shine and may even rot. Without maintenance the longevity of a wooden gate is reduced to a minimum.
Wooden doors are also subject to general wear and tear. They are known to swell or crack. These changes weaken the door and make it vulnerable to break-in; above all wooden doors are much more costly than PVC and Composite ones.
Having a door of a natural shade as in Composite doors enables you to arrange the decor of your home and also door furniture with ease. Heavy handles, knobs can also be fitted knowing that they will stay there for a long time.
Each composite door on the other hand is thick and sturdy as well as light weight. They will not wrap or crack in response to heat changes like other doors. It has a reinforced cover which has a good looking timber grain finish.
The composite door is also quite strong so it cannot be kicked open. The lock provides maximum security. This door does not require maintenance and does not discolor over time. It is filled with foam that makes its insulating property six times that of wooden ones. As they do not change shape according to the weather, they remain energy efficient and draught proof. These are designed to face the onslaught of severe weather conditions. They are tested in a pressurized chamber where gusting winds are stimulated. The test starts at 63 miles an hour and goes up to 80 miles an hour.
Composite doors also come with standard five pin cylinder lock with three keys. This means that the lock will not crack under pressure. Door art is created by cut glass held in strips of brass or zinc. The art work is covered in an insulated glass unit to make a triple glazed unit.
