Learn the difference between composite doors and foam filled doors.

Composite Doors vs Foam Filled Doors

 

When you are looking for a new front door for your home, you may feel overwhelmed by the many options available and struggle to find the right one. Two options that you may have come across are composite doors and foam-filled doors, both of which make for exceptional choices. In this blog, we take a look at composite doors and foam-filled doors, their benefits, and which could be the best choice for your home.

 

Composite Doors vs Foam Filled Doors

Composite Doors

Composite doors are a combination of materials, including uPVC, timber, and insulating foam. The result of this means composite doors are one of the strongest doors that you can find anywhere on the market. Composite doors can withstand any weather, so even in hail, sleet, or snow, a composite door can maintain its gorgeous style. The immense durability of a composite door means it will not fade, giving you an opportunity to tailor the door to whatever colour you want and add personality to your home. At Advance Windows, we offer 250 composite door colour combinations inside and out, so we have you covered whether you want a classic white composite door or a sleek black composite door. Also, you’ll be delighted to know that composite doors are incredibly low-maintenance and only need a simple wipe-down with warm, soapy water to keep their stunning look. 

 

Foam Filled Doors

Foam filled doors can be a more cost-effective choice and a good choice for those on a tighter budget. This style of door requires little upkeep as it will not need to be painted. Similar to composite doors, foam-filled doors can come in a range of different options.

 

Which is better, composite doors or foam filled doors?

There are several things to consider when choosing between a composite door and a foam filled door. If you are looking for a door that will keep you and your family secure, a composite door is the way forward, as the combination of materials results in a door that will keep you well protected. At Advance Windows, we complement the durability of the door with multi-point locking systems to ensure you are safe from potential intruders. You can have peace of mind that all of our composite doors have been tested to PAS 24:2016, guaranteeing a high level of security.  If you are looking for a new front door that will keep your home warm in the winter, a composite door makes for an excellent choice. As composite doors are made with a solid timber core, you could save money on energy bills as you will be less reliant on heating. In comparison, foam filled doors also provide insulation for your home, however, composite doors deliver better thermal performance.

 

To conclude, composite doors are a wise investment for your home. They offer the benefits of improved security and longevity with customisation options, meaning you can have a fantastic first impression right from the front door.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY

Excellent supply and fit service from Advance. Quality product, expert advice and nothing too much trouble. The process for our complete house re-fit was trouble-free from start to finish with every stage completed within the timescale given. Skilful and personable fitters were considerate and polite throughout the installation period and completed the work with great expertise. Back-up and follow-up support from the office staff was also exemplary. Excellent value for money and I would not hesitate to recommend Advance Hereford to friends, family and anyone considering upgrading their windows and doors.

If you want a first class experience of doors and window installation from the initial call out to the final product this company HAS to be the best. You simply will not beat them on price or quality of service. I have an Edwardian property and therefore had a couple of doors installed in the 27 years I have lived here. I also have had a lot of companies come out and give me quotes for these double doors and windows which were so ridiculously high I thought I'd never get them replaced.. My partner works in sales and immediately told me that the guy that came out to quote and survey the job was no nonsense and valued not only his job but customers too. I was quoted more than double by some companies without the finish I wanted but Advance Windows exceeded my hopes (never mind my expectations). The team in the Malvern office kept in regular contact and let me know what was due when, how things were progressing and gave me a time and date that the fitters arrive. My home is now secure and aesthetically pleasing too.. I love the brass finish on the doors handles and the ventilation engineering. I wish I had found them years ago and will highly recommend them to anyone.

Advanced windows were reliable from start to finish . They came for the survey, gave a date and installed when they said they would. They came in under our budget and much lower than both other quotes. I’d certainly use them again. My property was treated with respect and left clean and tidy. I would recommend recommend on my experiences with dealing with this company. 10/10.

New back door supplied and fitted by Advance . Very professional team throughout the process. The fitting team were excellent and very tidy. The finished product quality of fit made the previous old door look like it had been fitted by incompetent children. Shall definitely recommend this company.
