Doors
Composite front doors
A solid timber core, a tough coloured skin and locking that means business. The front door that looks like painted wood and behaves like a vault.
Doors
The door that sets the tone
A composite door is built in layers. At the centre of ours is a 48mm slab of cross-laminated Albasia Falcata, a fast-growing, sustainably farmed hardwood. Bonded to each face is a thick, through-coloured skin moulded with a woodgrain you can feel. The result has the weight and reassuring thud of a traditional timber door without the swelling, sticking and repainting.
We supply the Comp Door range: more than thirty designs, eighteen colours and over two hundred and fifty combinations once you start choosing glass, hardware and a different colour for the inside. We will help you narrow it down.
Tested against attack
Certified to PAS 24:2022, with Secured by Design specification available.
Serious locking
Avantis Autofire multi-point lock that engages as the door closes, with a 3-star Sold Secure Diamond cylinder.
Warmer hallway
A solid timber core gives a door U-value of 1.4 W/m²K and keeps noise outside.
Your colours
Eighteen colours outside, with the option of a different colour indoors.
Security you do not have to think about
Most people pull the door shut and walk away. The Avantis Autofire lock is designed for exactly that: hooks and bolts fire into the frame the moment the door closes, without lifting the handle. Turn the key and the door is deadlocked.
The cylinder is an ABS 3-star, Sold Secure Diamond unit that resists snapping, picking, drilling and bumping, and it comes with the manufacturer's £2,000 security guarantee. Add a Kubu sensor and your phone will tell you whether the door is locked, wherever you are.

Engineered beyond the surface
Timber cores are stable, but any door can move slightly when one face is in hot sun and the other is in a cool hallway. Comp Door addresses this with CoolSkin, a heat-reflective finish that keeps dark colours cooler, and InvisiEdge, which colours the door edge to match the face so there is no white line when it stands open.
The door hangs in a TriSeal frame with three lines of weather seal, so the wind stays out and the hallway stays quiet.
Traditional, contemporary or somewhere between
Panelled designs with arched or square glazing suit Victorian and Edwardian fronts. Clean vertical or horizontal glazing strips and long bar handles suit modern homes. Solid designs give complete privacy, and matching side panels and top lights bring daylight into a narrow hall.
There are more than twenty-five decorative and obscure glass designs, and hardware in chrome, black, gold and stainless finishes, from classic knockers and letterplates to full-height pull bars.

Questions
Good things to ask
Straight answers to the questions we hear most about this product.
Is a composite door better than a uPVC door?
For a front door, most people find it is. A composite door is thicker, heavier and more rigid, has a more convincing timber appearance and offers a wider choice of colours and designs. uPVC doors cost less and remain an excellent choice for back and side doors.
Do composite doors fade or need painting?
No. The colour runs through the skin rather than sitting on the surface, so there is nothing to flake or peel. An occasional wash with warm soapy water is all the maintenance required.
How long does a composite door take to arrive?
Composite doors are made to order in your chosen design, colour and glass. Manufacture typically takes 15 to 25 working days, and we will confirm a fitting date when you order.
Can I choose a different colour for the inside?
Yes. Many customers choose a strong colour for the street and white or a softer shade indoors to suit the hallway.
