Energy-Efficient and Secure: Why Composite Doors Are a Smart Upgrade

All homeowners want a home that is warm, secure and welcoming, especially as energy costs continue to rise throughout the UK.

If you are considering ways to keep your home cosy, reduce your energy costs and play your part to help the environment, it’s time to consider energy efficient and secure composite doors. They are a smart and modern solution that puts together character, durability and incredible energy efficiency. 

At Wimbledon Windows, we have  years of experience installing front doors across Wimbledon, South London and the surrounding areas. Designed to mimic the look of timber, you won’t frustrated by the same high maintenance headaches. 

Composite Doors

Why Consider Energy Efficient Composite Doors? 

Your front door is just about first impressions, it plays an essential role in keeping your home warm and energy efficient. Energy efficient composite doors are crafted to minimise heat loss especially during the winter.

The secret is in their manufacturing; featuring a thick polyurethane foam core, which acts as an insulating wall, leading to trapping the warm air inside your home and keeping the cold air and draughts out. This means your home stays warmer for longer, your heating system is working harder and your energy bills can be reduced.

What Are Composite Doors Made Out Of? 

Composite doors are made from a combination of different materials, including high density insulating foam, uPVC and occasionally timber core or aluminium reinforcements. This mix of materials gives them incredible strength, durability and energy efficiency, benefits that make them stand out against traditional timber or standard uPVC doors. 

Understanding U-value ratings for Composite Doors

One of the best ways to measure how energy efficient a door is to measure its U-value rating. The U-value (W/m2k) tells you how well a door insulates against heat loss, the lower the number, the better the insulation. 

Many of today’s composite doors, especially those with a dense form core and double glazing, can achieve impressive low U-value. This means keeping your home warm in the winter and cool during the summer, all the while reducing your carbon footprint.
