Why Choose a Composite Door?

It’s a question many of our customers ask us and the simple answer is that a Bowater Composite Door offers masses of benefits that you just don’t get with a traditional timber door, including:  
 

No hassle maintenance

Traditional timber doors may look great when they’re freshly painted or varnished, but the thing is, to keep their good looks, they need refinishing every year on average. With a Bowater composite door, there’s none of that hassle! They look just as good (some would argue better!) and there’s no need to ever sand down and paint or varnish. Your Bowater Composite Door only needs the occasional wipe over with a damp cloth to keep it looking as good as the day it was installed.
 

Wind and weather proof

When you choose a Bowater Composite door, you can be confident it’s weatherproof. It’s not going to swell in winter and shrink in summer like a timber door, it’s not going to warp, twist or split – it’s just going to stay doing the great job it’s meant to, whatever the weather. What’s more because all Bowater Doors come fully framed with triple seals, you’ve no worries about nasty draughts.
 

Super efficient

You’d be amazed how much energy is lost through badly fitted front doors. That’s why every Bowater Composite Door in our range has a super-efficient insulating inner core and comes with a thermally efficient threshold.

All Bowater Composite Doors meet current Building Regulations by achieving a U value of 1.6 or less. A U value is the measurement of heat transfer through a given building material, so basically it’s a reference as to how energy efficient your new door will be. Ask your local installer for more details.
 

Totally secure

As well as keeping out the elements and street and traffic noise, all products in the Bowater Composite Door Range are designed to keep out intruders. Highly robust and highly efficient, they are equipped with Saracen Secure Hardware, including a tried and trusted mortise lock linked to a superior hook bolt system.
