Most Common Door Types

UPVC

UPVC doors in households are typically the most popular choice due to the affordability and low maintenance they require. Often these doors are stylish and match well with homes and are known to be thermally efficient which is an added bonus. The main downside of UPVC doors is that you are unable to add additional locks to them, meaning you are limited to only the lock that the door is fitted with.

Composite

Composite doors are known to be a good quality, durable, low maintenance and strong choice of door. They are created from a number of various materials that are compressed together to make the door. Commonly, they are more expensive than UPVC doors yet cheaper than wooden doors.

Wood

Having a wooden door is a great choice as wood is a strong and solid material but it requires a higher level of maintenance to keep it in quality condition compared to other types of doors. Although it may require higher maintenance, wood doors can have additional locks added to it, such as a deadbolt, rim lock or latch etc. With the ability to add further locks, this helps increase home security and safety.
