Each material is chosen for its specific properties fused together to result in one of the strongest door materials currently on the market.
What is a composite door made of.
Composite doors are made with an outer frame subframe and solid timber core.
Unlike doors made from a singular material the composite door construction process affords them superior strength.
The banding has an ash grain effect to match the hinge and lock face plate.
This type of door was specifically developed to solve common issues that are often found in traditional upvc doors.
A composite door also comes with cfc free insulating polyurethane pu foam core and 2mm pvc banding at the edges.
Here is a material breakdown of what a composite door may include.
The external part of a composite door is made from a 2mm layer of glass reinforced plastic grp also known as fibreglass the same stuff they use to make fishing boats in the north sea.
The outer frame is most commonly created using reinforced galvanised steel with the subframe made from upvc elements ensuring stability and rigidity.
Unlike upvc doors which are made largely of plastic composite doors are made from a number of materials that are combined under high pressure conditions.
Composite doors are made of a selection of materials including a solid timber core glass reinforced plastic and upvc to name a few.
Dedicated upvc outer frame with galvanised steel for extra fortification.
It s tough weatherproof and moulds perfectly to replicate a wood grain for a door with kerb appeal.
Composite doors are made of a selection of materials including a solid timber core and upvc to name a few.
Composite pvc sub frame to improve strength and stability.
To make sure the skin of the door will not crack twist warp or need repainting a composite door has 2mm grp glass reinforced plastic grained surface.
The door leaf starts with either a with cfc free insulating polyurethane pu foam or laminated hardwood core set in a hardwood steel reinforced frame with locking and hinge blocks pre located during construction banded at the edges with either a 2mm pvc or metal edging strip edging and faced each side with a 2mm grp or similar cladding clamped and bonded to the core to produce a rigid construction the grp cladding ensures the skin of the door will not crack and the door itself will not.
A polyurthane foam core for thermal insulation.
