At Classic Windows, we understand the importance of your front door. It’s the gateway to your Minety home, a reflection of your taste, and the all-important first impression. Here in the heart of the Cotswolds, where tradition meets contemporary charm, choosing the right door material can be a delightful decision. Let’s explore the two most popular options: uPVC and composite doors.
Strength and security
Both uPVC and composite doors offer excellent weatherproofing, keeping your Minety haven warm and dry. However, when it comes to durability and security, composite doors stand out. Their core, crafted from insulating foam or timber, provides superior strength compared to the hollow core of a uPVC door. This translates to a more robust barrier against everyday wear and tear, potential break-ins, and the peace of mind you deserve. Industry sources suggest composite doors can be up to twice as thick as their uPVC counterparts, offering an extra layer of security for your Minety home.
Budget and beauty
We understand budget is a key consideration. Generally, uPVC doors are a more cost-effective option initially. However, their lifespan typically falls around 20-25 years. Composite doors, on the other hand, can last up to 35 years or more. While the upfront cost might be slightly higher, a composite door could prove more economical in the long run.
Style and design
Classic Windows offers a vast selection of styles and colours for both uPVC and composite doors. uPVC offers a classic look that can resemble timber, perfectly complementing the traditional Cotswold aesthetic. But if you desire a door that truly reflects the rich textures and timeless elegance of real wood, then composite doors excel. We have a wide range of options to ensure your Minety home, whether a charming cottage or a contemporary haven, makes a lasting impression.
A sustainable choice for our Minety community
At Classic Windows, we share your appreciation for the beautiful Cotswolds environment. When it comes to sustainability, uPVC takes the lead. It’s a fully recyclable material, minimising landfill waste. While composite doors are catching up with the use of recycled materials in their cores, uPVC remains a strong contender for eco-conscious homeowners.
The perfect door for your Minety home awaits
Ultimately, the ideal door material depends on your priorities. If budget is your main concern, uPVC might be the way to go. But if you value long-lasting security, exquisite style, and a commitment to sustainability, then a composite door could be the perfect fit.
