The Benefits Of Having A Composite Door

There are clear benefits to fitting double glazing in your home and not only the windows but the doors too. The windows offer a level of safety and security that traditional wooden windows cannot match as traditional single pane windows are made from a single sheet of regular glass. The double glazing in windows and doors is tightly sealed with a dead air space in-between. The air pocket this creates is then trapped between the panes and acts as an insulator.

Most double glazing will be laminated or toughened glass which reduces the risk of shattering upon impact. With a double glazed unit often damage to one pane of glass is not always carried through the vacuum between the panes to the second pane, giving a much higher degree of safety. Even a chair thrown at a window or patio door will not break it upon a first or second strike. Intruders can also be deterred when the job of breaking in is delayed from a quick smash of a window to many attempts at entering. It becomes noisy and that will attract some very much unwanted attention.

The locking mechanisms are now also pick proof and especially the new composite doors for front and back doors which are fitted with 5 point locking and deadlocks. These do not just lock at the point of the key entering but also lock twice more at the top and bottom. A ram would have trouble to gain entry easily. The composite rock door also has an internal frame fitted that makes it even more robust.

Composite doors are now are more fashionable to, offering light and character as opposed to the old fashioned solid wood door with only one Yale lock to offer security. These doors have now been made in a variety of colours if you prefer something other than white or brown. This makes your front door more personal to you and not just for functionality. The glass can also be reinforced with plastic, making it very difficult to take the glass out if the lock is holding. This type of security leaves you with self confidence that, when no one is home, your possessions will be safe and secure at all times.

The many glass designs that can be fitted into the panels can be made very personal and bespoke giving your home a unique style. Also internal doors can be matched to your style to follow through a theme of Georgian, Tudor or Gothic to name just a few. These composite doors are also almost maintenance free.

The Continental French Door

These types of double glazed doors add a touch of elegance and continental style to your home. It doesn't matter if you have a country cottage or a town house they are beautiful to look at and great to use. Opening out onto a potted patio or a large lawn garden the French door is inviting you to go out.

Very different in style and functionality to the patio door, the French door can either be opened to the outside or inside. Either one half only or for the full effect of the outside coming into your lounge or kitchen both doors open. One door is usually used more than the other and this is a traffic door holding the locks, and it will have a handle on both sides. This is so that the entire unit doesn't have to be opened when it is cold or just popping outside. The multiple panes of glass offer sunlight and a view of your garden which can be enjoyed any time of year, even in the winter they let in lots of light.

The double glazing will stop all draughts and noise so it doesn't matter where your home is situated they will offer comfort and warmth when required. They look very traditional as they are made from hardwood but can be available in aluminum and UPVC. Whatever your preference they can incorporate a cottage or Georgian style and these doors act as the welcome mat to your living space. As French doors come in panels of very small panes or bars the toughened glass offers a security and peace of mind that if they are fallen against they can withstand a substantial weight.

UPVC doors are maintenance free and will not rust or flake paint, the variety of colours can also enhance your gardens look and can blend in to any design. They will transform your home into something that you have dreamed of just by the change in style of a solid back door to a French door. It doesn't matter what the size of the whole is to be filled that had a pre-existing door or window, they can be made to measure and individually tailored to your home.

Cottage doors offer the perfect combination of traditional elegance and modern design that will add an authentic touch to any house or cottage. French doors are also great to have inside too. They will open up a through room or allow it to be shut up but still retain that longer room feel. They are perfect for opening up another room that is not normally used but keeps the whole downstairs feeling spacious and connected. Light can filter though into areas that would normally be darker.
