The first thing to consider when choosing a new entrance door is what type and door style best suits your property. This will depend on the style of your home, such as a country cottage or a contemporary home, you need to combine the look of your home with the type of front door that performs well.

uPVC is the most popular entrance door material for UK homeowners. It provides a good level of thermal performance and is the most affordable material choice. When compared with Composite windows and doors however, composite doors are more robust and resilient, meaning they will maintain their appearance for longer. While uPVC doors may suffer from the elements and fade over time, composite doors will not.
Are composite doors better than uPVC external front doors?
The difference between composite doors and uPVC entrance doors is in the type and quality of materials they are created with and the level of durability, thermal efficiency and security they provide.
Composite external front doors are extremely thermal efficient, highly secure and come in wide selection of different styles. Also, uPVC doors tend to be inflexible in terms of changing handles, hinges and locks, while a composite door can be repaired and require very low maintenance. Furthermore, the durability of a composite front door is usually much higher compared to a uPVC front door, which can break over time.

The entrance door is an important element in your home as it can enhance its overall appearance and create a positive first impression for visitors, but there is so much more to consider other than aesthetics. Security is surely one of the most important aspects to consider for front doors, as well as their functionality and the quality of materials they are made of, as they need to resist not only the weather, but also many years of use and potentially any intruder’s attack.
