Introduction

At Select Products, we supply a fantastic range of composite doors that enhance the look and appeal of your home. The doors are some of the strongest on the market, so in this article, we will compare them to wooden doors to see which is right for your home. Read on to find out more.

Composite Doors Have a Longer Life Expectancy

The life expectancy of a wooden door varies significantly, as timber will get damaged in toughened conditions. If the door gets repainted, it will have a lifespan of up to 30 years. Wooden doors are a well loved and popular choice for homeowners in Leeds due to their traditional design and character. However, they need regular maintenance and are expensive.

This takes a lot of work, which is why our composite doors are available with a natural woodgrain finish. They offer the natural beauty of wood without the high maintenance. This lets you enjoy the door for longer, staying in good condition for years. Homeowners in Leeds are keen to save money, which is why composite doors are rising in popularity.

A Rockdoor Composite Door Gives More Choice

Wooden doors are available in predominantly red and pastel colours, reflecting the autumnal weather. If you are looking for a brighter tone, choose a white pine colour for a distinctive look.

A composite door is a suitable alternative to the authentic wooden door. We work with market leaders Rockdoor to offer a stunning selection of styles, giving homeowners more choices. For example, the Jacobean Rockdoor offers slim sightlines and a selection of beautiful glass options, which result in stunning panoramic views. Alternatively, our Carolina and Tennessee styles offer S Glaze Technology which works by sealing two glass units in two Rockdoor skins, stopping any intruders from entering. As a result, you and your family will be safe for years.

Our Rockdoors are also available in 13 stylistic colours that reflect your personality. This includes Anthracite Grey, which is available in a sleek contemporary woodgrain texture. It creates a serious industrial feel. Choose the inside of the door to match the external feel, or we offer a dual colour match if you are looking for something different. Another colour our composite doors come in is Ruby Red, which screams fun, vibrancy, and personality.

Composite Doors Are Some of the Most Secure Builds on the Market

While wooden doors have a rustic charm to them, they are easy to break into as they don’t offer much security. This is due to the weak hinges, which is a common technique for a break in.

Our composite doors however are one of the most secure on the market, being able to keep you safe against toughened weather conditions. Our Rockdoors are available with S Glazed technology which prevents water ingress from entering your home. Security is built in the doors’ DNA, as the doors use solid steel hook locks for maximum security, reinforced aluminium box section for our inner frame, while the S Glaze system secures the door in for life.

Both Doors Offer Exceptional Energy Efficiency  Levels

Wood is a natural insulator of both heat and sound, as the timber creates a warm and comfortable feel. This is one of the big draws that have made it popular, alongside the inclusion of draught excluders on the top, sides and bottom. However, it does wear down over time.

Our Rockdoor composite doors on the other hand offer superb energy efficiency. All our designs are A rated as standard alongside thermally efficient PVC-u skins, a 50mm thick sash, and polyurethane foam combine to give you industry level performance rating. Alongside this, the use of Clear Backing Glass bolsters your thermal efficiency so cold air won’t be able to enter.

Choosing a composite door saves money on your energy bills, ensuring you won’t need to use your central heating. Unlike a wooden door, it only requires minimal cleaning with a damp cloth and soapy water. It is guaranteed to last for years.
