Composite doors are now one of the most popular entrance door options for UK homeowners. Using a combination of materials, they provide outstanding levels of home security and thermal performance with a stylish and attractive aesthetic appearance. Composite doors come in a wide variety of styles and designs. Perfect for both contemporary and traditional properties, composite doors will add style and value to any home.
If you’re planning a door replacement project, a composite door is an excellent choice. To give you a complete idea of the best options for you, let’s take a look at the different types of composite doors available from Emereo.

Composite doors have been used extensively in local authority renovation projects.

Composite doors are often chosen by local authorities for their superior security and weather performance. They are a great way to ensure performance is optimized and all building regulations requirements are met.
Choosing the best composite door for your home will ultimately depend on your expectations. Knowing what you want from your new door will help you to make a fully informed decision. Important points to consider when planning a door replacement project include:

As you can see, our different composite door brands provide a selection of benefits for your home. One of the main differences between Solidor composite doors and Hallmark and Distinction doors is the core material.
Solidor’s 48mm timber core is strong and robust helping to create a door which will resist even the most sustained attempts at forced entry. When home security is your main priority, a Solidor composite door is an excellent choice.
Hallmark and Distinction composite doors, on the other hand, feature an insulating foam core. Although not quite as robust as a solid timber core, they are 19% more thermally efficient. When improving energy efficiency is your focus, Hallmark and Distinction doors are the doors for you.
At Emereo, we fully understand that different properties require different types of doors. Whether you live in a traditional property with classic architectural features or a modern home with a cleaner contemporary style, our composite doors can be specified to complement your home’s design.
From early 20th century modernist designs to stylish contemporary shapes and styles, our composite doors are perfect for all types of home. Many traditional door styles feature a half-moon glazed section in the upper half of the door. This design is tastefully replicated in many of our composite door models.
For more contemporary properties, a selection of square or circular glass areas can be selected to create a unique appearance and bring more natural light into your home. Alternatively, many of our composite doors can be specified with no glass sections at all. This helps to increase privacy, maximise security and thermal performance, and even boost acoustic insulation.
