The composite door is rapidly growing in popularity, and the reasons why are clear. Composite doors are made using multiple other materials, taking each of their best attributes to create the ideal home entrance for modern life. They typically feature either a solid timber or foam core, multiple locking points around the frame, internal reinforcement and a scratch-resistant GRP outer-skin.



Aluminium is a light, strong metal that’s synonymous with modern homes. It boasts a striking contemporary look, and is remarkably easy to clean. The appeal is backed up by the fact that three times as many UK installers now sell aluminium as in 2001. If you already have aluminium windows installed, picking an aluminium door will provide you with a consistent exterior, and you can create yours right here.

Composite doors look like painted timber in the sense that they boast a realistic woodgrain finish, but they need far less upkeep. Their solid timber core makes them strong, secure and good at keeping heat in, which can help lower your energy bills. They’re secure, with locks positioned around the entire frame, and the outer skin is remarkably easy to clean.
Aluminium is strong, slim and low maintenance, with a powder-coated finish (a tough paint baked onto the metal) that holds its colour for years. A built-in insulating strip stops the cold travelling through the metal, so your hallway stays warmer. Just like composite, they’re very easy to clean, and they’re also highly recyclable so are a sustainable pick.
It's mainly what's inside. Composite doors usually have a solid timber core and a woodgrain-style finish, while aluminium doors are fully aluminium with an insulated core and a sleeker look. Each comes in traditional and modern styles, so it really comes down to your taste.
