Materials Available for Double Glazed Front Doors in Dorchester
Compare our front door material options
Composite
Composite is a modern alternative to uPVC and wood. The composite GRP material is twice as thick as uPVC and doors are filled with a solid HDPE core, leading to a better insulated, longer-lasting, more secure home entrance.
Many of our composite doors have the option of a solid timber core and lifelike woodgrains, for that classic 'heritage door' appearance.
uPVC
uPVC keeps costs low while performing reliably year after year. The weather-resistant plastic requires little maintenance - just an occasional clean with soap and water.
uPVC suits most modern and contemporary homes. Though slightly less durable in the long-term than aluminium and composite, uPVC delivers hassle-free, cost-effective protection.
Aluminium
Aluminium doors bring unique advantages - they are the perfect blend of material, style and security. The durable, low-maintenance nature of aluminium means you get long-lasting, hassle-free performance.
Brackenwood’s aluminium doors are reassuringly secure, with options from standard key locking to extremely high security biometric remote access systems.
Wood
Wooden door frames were the most common choice before the introduction of low-cost uPVC. Wood has the lowest heat conductivity of the common door materials, whilst also being environmentally friendly.
Listed buildings often require a timber-look entrance door, however modern aluminium and GRP composites can perfectly mimic the appearance and options of wooden doors.
