Frequently Asked Questions
What is a composite door?
A composite door is a type of door made from multiple materials, including PVC, insulating foam, and GRP (glass-reinforced plastic). This combination ensures enhanced strength, thermal efficiency, and durability while providing the appearance of a traditional wooden door.
How secure are Virtuoso composite doors?
Virtuoso composite doors carry the 'Enhanced Security of Doors' British Kitemark and, when fitted with laminate glass meet the 'Secured by Design' accreditation.
Are composite doors energy efficient?
Yes, composite doors have excellent thermal efficiency. The insulating foam core provides a higher thermal resistance than traditional wooden doors, helping to keep your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer, which can lead to energy savings
Can I customise the appearance of my composite door?
Choose from 42 composite door styles, 21 standard colours and 2,540 RAL colours, up to 30 glass designs, 3 varieties of hardware in a choice of 7 colours and your customisation options run in to the thousands.
How long do composite doors last?
Composite doors are designed to be long-lasting, often with a lifespan of 30 years or more with proper maintenance. Their durability and resistance to weathering and discolouration make them a smart option for Manx homes.
Are composite doors maintenance-intensive?
No, composite doors require minimal maintenance. Unlike wooden doors, they do not need to be painted or varnished. Regularly wiping them down with a soft clean cloth and soapy water is usually enough to keep them looking new. Never clean with harsh or abrasive products.
