Composite Doors Vs. Timber Doors
Timber is another material that is widely used in the construction of windows and doors. Although timber has undoubtedly fantastic finishes, there are a number of disadvantages and difficulties with the material. Some of the major disadvantages are as follows:
- Timber is difficult to maintain, especially with extreme weather. You are at risk all times of the year as rain and the sun can cause severe structural damage which may put the security of your property at risk.
- Timber doors are at risk against physical attack. An axe or other tool will make short work of a timber door without reinforcement or the timber is particularly thick. This makes security more of an issue and can make insurance more expensive.
- Timber doors can be waterproofed but this requires a number of regular maintenance activities.
Composite doors offer a number of structural advantages and protection against elemental damage:
- Composite doors are highly weather-resistant, requiring little to no maintenance. Cleaning a composite front door is as simple as applying a cleaning solution and wiping with a damp cloth.
- Composite doors are highly resistant to attack, it is very difficult to breach a composite door without using a specialised breaching device or a weapon that will cause a lot of attention. Burglars may even be deterred from targeting your home at all because they know that the door is extremely secure.
- Composite doors are highly resistant to weather damage such as water and warping from heat variation. This takes the hassle out of maintaining your door!
