Composite Doors

A composite door is built from layers, a solid timber core wrapped in glass reinforced plastic (GRP) and finished with a weatherproof skin. That combination makes it stronger and better insulated than a standard door, without losing a contemporary look.

Every BJH composite door comes with double glazing and multi-point locking as standard, so you get security and heat retention built into the same door, not one at the expense of the other. The GRP skin also means no warping, no rotting, and no repainting, so the door looks as good in ten years as it does on day one.

We supply both front and back composite doors from trusted manufacturers and fit every one ourselves, made to measure for each home.

Trusted Brands, Fitted by Us

We supply composite doors from established manufacturers, including Hallmark, CompDoor, and Rockdoor, each with its own range of styles, finishes, and hardware. Every door combines a timber core with a GRP outer skin, tested for strength and weather resistance before it reaches your home.

We handle the fitting ourselves, too, so the same team that helps you choose the door is the one that installs it.

Here’s what a composite door does for your home:

  • Stronger construction than uPVC, thanks to the timber core
  • Double glazing is built in for better insulation
  • Multi-point locking as standard, for enhanced security
  • No warping, rotting, or repainting, ever
  • A wide range of colours and finishes, from classic to contemporary
  • Virtually no upkeep beyond an occasional wipe down

  • Double glazing is built into every door, with decorative and obscured options available

Colours, Styles, and Finishes

Composite doors come in more variety than most other door types, since each manufacturer offers their own styles and hardware options on top of colour choice.

Choose from over 23 standard colourways, including popular options like white, black, anthracite grey, and agate grey for a contemporary look, or Chartwell green and woodgrain finishes if your home suits something more traditional. Panel styles range from clean, flush designs to more detailed cottage and period-style layouts, so the door can match the character of your property rather than working against it.

Every door is manufactured to your exact opening, with a full range of glazing, from clear to decorative or obscured, to suit your privacy needs.

Which Door is Better uPVC or Composite?

uPVC doors offer enhanced durability, affordability, and insulation, and are low maintenance due to being easy to clean. Yet composite doors are highly secure offering superior strength. Our composite doors in Hampshire are available in a wide range of styles and finishes, providing a more luxurious and high-end appearance. 

Our composite front doors in Hampshire have excellent thermal efficiency and are highly resistant to weathering, making the choice between uPVC and composite doors completely dependent on your budget, desired aesthetics and security requirements. 

It's recommended to consult with our professionals to determine which option best suits your needs.

Is a Composite Door Frame Better than Wood?

When it comes to choosing between a composite door frame and a wood frame, it depends on various factors. Composite door frames have become increasingly popular due to their durability, low maintenance, and resistance to warping, rotting, and insect damage. They are also highly energy efficient and provide excellent insulation. 

On the other hand, wood frames offer a natural and traditional aesthetic appeal that some homeowners prefer. Wood frames can be stained or painted to match your desired look, but they may require more maintenance to prevent decay and weathering. 

Ultimately, the choice between a composite door frame and a wood frame depends on your personal preferences, budget, and the specific needs of your home.

Do Composite Doors Have Wood Inside?

Composite doors are constructed using a combination of materials, which typically include a solid timber core, such as laminated timber or engineered wood, surrounded by layers of other materials like glass-reinforced plastic (GRP) and uPVC. 

The purpose of using a timber core is to provide strength, stability, and insulation to the door. While composite doors may have a wood core, it is important to note that they are designed to overcome the limitations of traditional wooden doors, such as warping or expanding due to changes in weather conditions. 

The use of a composite construction ensures that the door is durable, low maintenance, and offers enhanced security and energy efficiency.

What is the Most Popular Colour for a Composite Front Door?

The most popular colour for a composite front door can vary depending on current design trends and personal preferences. However, classic colours like white, black, and shades of grey are consistently popular choices for composite front doors. 

These neutral colours provide a timeless and versatile appeal, allowing them to complement a wide range of architectural styles and home exteriors. Wood-effect finishes, such as oak or mahogany, are also sought after, as they offer a natural and warm aesthetic that mimics the appearance of traditional wooden doors.

Can you Fit a Composite Door to an Existing uPVC Frame?

Yes, it is possible to fit a composite door to an existing uPVC frame. Composite doors are versatile and can be fitted into various types of frames, including uPVC frames. However, it is important to ensure that the existing uPVC frame is in good condition and structurally sound. 

Our professional installers will assess the compatibility of the composite door with the existing frame and make any necessary adjustments or preparations to ensure a proper fit. By choosing our skilled composite door installers in Hampshire, you can confidently upgrade your door to a composite one while utilising the existing uPVC frame.
