10 Benefits of composite doors
Composite doors are a fantastic option for a stylish and secure entrance to your home. At CRK Windows, we are proud to manufacture to our customers’ exact specifications, meaning they can enhance their homes with their dream front door.
This article takes a look at 10 benefits of composite doors, as well as the factors you should consider when choosing the best composite door for your home.
-
Energy saving
The thermal efficiency of composite doors works to prevent the escape of heat, meaning you can save on energy bills. As well as insulating, they can also be fitted perfectly to keep draughts out.
At CRK, our doors are made to reduce energy loss by as much as 85% compared to traditional timber doors. Timber-free construction and CFC-free polyurethane foam in the inner core add to their environmentally friendly credentials.
-
Security
The design of high quality composite doors makes them great for security. Combining their strength with great locking mechanisms and state-of-the-art components, you can be confident that your front door will not only stand the test of time, but also keep intruders at bay.

-
Appearance
Composite doors can fit any style of home, being created to compliment any building, fit any colour scheme and create a fantastic first impression. This means that they are the perfect option, whether you’re looking to create a modern look, a unique appearance, or choose a more traditional aesthetic.
-
Low-maintenance
Composite doors require next to no maintenance. This means they can be designed to look like wood, if you desire, without the ongoing upkeep. Resistant to fading, weather damage and corrosion, composite doors simply need an occasional wipe with a damp cloth to make them look as good as new again!
-
Noise reduction
Another benefit of composite doors is that they don’t only insulate heat… but they also provide sound insulation. This means they can help to keep the noise from the outside world out of your home, whether this is the sound of cars driving past, or people walking by.
-
Long-lasting
Composite doors are made from materials that are built to stand the test of time, giving you value for money as they will enhance the appearance of your home from the moment they’re installed.
In place of timber, environmentally-friendly PVCu sections with bespoke steel reinforcement substrates are applied to the door skins at CRK. These offer greater rigidity with less risk of twisting, swelling, shrinking, rotting or warping.
At CRK, you can also enjoy peace of mind with all of our products being fully guaranteed, because we are fully confident in the doors we create.
-
Made to measure
At CRK Windows, the substrate and door skin of our solid strength composite doors are made to measure in our factory in Hemel Hempstead, offering more flexibility and choice than traditional timber doors.
-
Wheelchair accessible
There’s no need to struggle in and out with wheelchairs and prams. Our low threshold meets Part ‘M’ Building Regulations for easy mobility, being made with high-performance aluminium for a long-lasting design and seamless appearance.

The door frames that accompany composite doors can further enhance the strength of your home’s entrance.
Manufactured from steel-reinforced 70mm PVCu and tested to the highest standards, CRK’s door frames are high-impact resistant.
-
