Which is better a uPVC door or a composite door?

The choice between uPVC and composite doors will often depend on individual requirements. UPVC doors are cost-effective, require less maintenance and offer design flexibility, but they may fade and be more vulnerable to the elements. In contrast, composite doors are durable, resilient and maintain their appearance for a longer period. They provide superior durability, insulation and security. Ultimately, factors such as a homeowner's budget, desired aesthetics and the need for long-lasting performance should be considered when deciding between the two options.

Do you need a new frame with a composite door?

For the installation of a composite door, it is advisable to replace the current door frame with a new one to ensure a proper fit and provide adequate support for the door's weight. This not only enhances security, durability and functionality but also ensures optimal performance. Homeowners should seek guidance from door suppliers or professionals, such as Turkington Windows, to determine the specific requirements for their installation. By replacing the frame along with the door, a secure and precise fit can be achieved, offering peace of mind and optimal functionality for the composite door.
