But what exactly is a composite door and how are they so energy efficient?…

 

What is a composite door?

Made up of several materials, a composite door is designed to overcome problems that are often found in front doors that use a single material. Each material used to manufacture a composite door is selected for a particular benefit, which not only makes composite doors extremely secure and energy-efficient but they’re also exceptionally low maintenance too, looking great for years to come!

 

What makes our composite doors so energy efficient?

Rockdoor uses innovative technologies which makes our composite doors superior to other alternatives. The thermally efficient glass, reinforced frames, polyurethane foam core, and aluminium internal structure all work together to achieve the best energy ratings. Let’s look at their ultra-efficient features in more depth:

 

1. Thermally efficient glass

As the glazing is locked into the door frame, this results in any draughts being blocked from entering your home. As there is nowhere for the air to go, heat cannot escape – resulting in a warmer, more economic home! You lose about 25% of heat through your windows and doors, so ensuring your glazing is efficient at maintaining the warmth in your home, will keep your energy bills and carbon footprint lower.

 

2. Durable reinforced frames

The PVC-U multi-chambered frame adds a layer of essential insulation, which supports the comfortable temperature regulation of your home, again stopping heat from escaping and blocking the cold British air from entering through the joints of your door.

 

3. High-density polyurethane foam core

60% stronger than standard composite doors, the high-density foam core plays a huge part in contributing to the door’s thermal performance, as foam is a great insulator and reduces air movement.

 

4. Strong internal aluminium structure

The inner frame of a Rockdoor composite door is reinforced with an aluminium box section that makes it incredibly strong. Not only does it guarantee that the door is secure but protects your home from temperature fluctuations, as aluminium is another great insulator.
