We have seen a rise in demand for composite doors at Select Products. Their sturdy and weatherproof profile will help protect you from tough weather conditions and violent winds. They are easy to maintain and look their best because they don’t warp, fade or discolour. However, there are times when they need a thorough clean, so in this article, we will explore how you can make your door shine for longer.

In general, composite doors don’t need much maintenance because you only have to use a damp cloth and soapy water, and they will look as good as new. It is advisable not to use rough or abrasive materials because that will cause damage to the door’s exterior. One of the main advantages of composite doors is that they are resilient and durable, which will protect your home against hard knocks and corrosion.

Another way to clean your door is to use a combination of washing up liquid and hand soap which can be combined with warm water to clean dirt, rust, and grime. This can build up over time and cause problems when it opens and closes.

Composite doors don’t warp easily because they are made from various materials, including uPVC and 17 engineered timber laminates. This makes them thicker than other doors, resulting in a thick profile that doesn’t warp in bad conditions.

When cleaning your door, it is important to focus on the locks and hinges because they are the most important parts of your door as they are used regularly. As a result, they must be cleaned properly. One way of smoothing them out is to add an extra bit of oil or WD 40 to ensure maximum performance. After leaving it on, dry the surface with a damp cloth, so it looks in immaculate condition.

Giving the hardware a polish is also ideal to help it stand out in the long run. One way of doing this is using a mild soap detergent with a damp cloth. This will keep your door looking polished and shiny in the long run.

Spending time on the external glass panels will help the doors stay cleaner. All you have to do is wipe them down with a damp cloth and detergent, which will stay pristine. You can also use an external glass cleaner to assist you.

Composite doors are one of the most popular choices because they are low maintenance and last a long time. They need to be maintained properly to keep their vibrance for longer. But there are some instances where the doors will get discoloured. We believe that you should wash the doors thoroughly. To do this, remove the dirt from the door, then use a glass cleaner to scrub everything.

Next, apply a layer of Polytrol. This will penetrate plastics and timber, bringing the original shine to your front door. However, one key thing to consider is that you need to leave the door to dry for 24 hours, which will last for a long time. Polytrol helps restore the door from future corrosion.

Black composite doors have also become increasingly popular in recent years. This is because they are very low maintenance compared to white composite doors. Cleaning a black composite door requires the same materials as a white one, including a bucket of soapy water and washing up liquid. However, it is also essential that you don’t use chemical detergents or bleach because they cause severe damage to your door in the long run. To get a stunning and durable finish, use soap and a clean cloth once the door has dried.

At Select Products, our doors are highly secure because they consist of deadbolts and multi point locking systems. Clean the doors twice a year to ensure optimal performance. To do this, you should apply grease to the latch, deadbolts, and hooks. The roller slots should be oiled with lubricant. Spray silicone in the cylinder, ensuring it gives you a quality that will last longer.  This ensures a quality performance that deters intruders from breaking in, keeping your family safe for longer.
