Composite Wood Door better than timber

Composite wood doors really are a wonder of industrial synergy. Usually built around a hardwood frame, the components of a composite door are the secret to it's fantastic performance.

Composite Wood Doors are the next big thing, particularly when compared to UPVC doors, although the two are often confused and could not be more different. Composite Doors are usually composed of an ultra high density foam core that is injected inside the hardwood frame. From here the foam hardens and creates an almost immovable barrier between inside and outside. Heavy impacts, draughts, even fire, are all kept in check by the magnificent cores in Composite Doors. In contrast PVC doors are typically weak constructions employing light styrofoam to produce a highly brittle and easily breakable system of panels. PVC is cheaply made, and therefore easily broken into.
The best Composite Wood Doors now use a GRP skin. Also called a 'Fibreglass Skin,' this is the same protective, warer-tight material used in the hulls of boats. Usage of this material is not only to ensure a superior performance but also to achieve a textured woodgrain finish. In many cases, this finish is designed not to fade or discolour. The execution of this finish varies of course. Ultimately, the best test to determine if they really do look and feel like wood is to touch one.
