If you’re a homeowner, you probably know that there’s always something that can be done to improve the safety and comfort of your home. Your choice of windows and doors makes a big difference in this respect since there’s a lot of variation in the quality, appearance, and performance of different doors and windows.
In most cases, the choice is between uPVC and composite doors. In our 20-year + experience, composite doors offer the best balance between personalisation and attractive appearance, value, energy efficiency, and security. Here are 5 reasons why.
1) Wider Range of Choice
Composite doors from Harvey’s Windows are available in a wide range of elegant styles and designs. We’ve made sure of this, as we know how important it is that your home reflects your lifestyle and preferences. With us, you can be sure you’ll find quality composite doors that match and enhance the aesthetics of your home, as well as its security.
2) Excellent Value For Money
Composite doors deliver great value for money. The price point may be higher than softwood counterparts, but since they’re thicker and stronger, they have very low maintenance requirements and stay in optimal condition for longer. Composite doors at Harvey’s Windows start from £1100, which includes VAT and installation.
3) Energy Savings
With composite doors, you get more for your money in the long term, as they have higher energy efficiency ratings than wooden or uPVC doors. According to the Energy Saving Trust, replacing your windows could save an average of £100 / year and over 400kg in CO2 emissions.
The materials we use are highly thermally efficient, so the amount of heat loss that escapes through doors and windows is minimal.
4) Weather Resistance
Composite doors and windows are more durable than standard uPVC doors, especially during cold and wet winter weather. They won’t swell and contract like a traditional wooden door and are easier to keep clean than a white uPVC door. You can expect a life span of 30 years + for a high-quality composite door, which makes them a great choice for homeowners who are looking for durable fixtures.
5) Superb Security
Our team knows how important it is to feel safe in your home. We specialise in installing composite doors with steel reinforced frames for added security and peace of mind. This combined with a rigid polymer subframe, high-density polyurethane foam core with integral security board, and a thick high impact glass-reinforced polyester (GRP) skin ensures that no one is going to be breaking through these doors.
We’re also very selective with our choice of composite door locks and handles. Our ULTION lock mechanisms ensure that your doors stay locked, as the Molybdenum core can switch to ‘double-lockdown mode’, making sure intruders are kept out.
