Can A Composite Door Help Improve Thermal Efficiency?
Over the winter period, most homeowners experience more expensive energy bills. We understand that during this time, you may increase the use of our heating facilities. We also know that you can’t solely blame the weather for the increase in the heating facilities. The fact that your front or back door could be failing to retain the heat in your home, and allowing heat to escape.
Do you feel a cold draft coming in from around your front or back door? Have tried to resolve this by installing a draught-proofing system to stop cold air from coming into your home? A new composite door can provide a perfect solution to heat loss and old drafts from your existing door. Up to 30% of heat loss from your home may be due to gaps around your windows and doors.
The Thermal Performance
Doors require at least a U-value of around 1.8 W/m2 or less than under current doors and building regulations. Furthermore, the U-value tells us just how much heat can pass through your front door or back door. The lower the U-value, the better. Plus, more energy-efficient the door. Composite doors have a very low U-value and therefore exceed the thermal efficiency standards. Installing a composite door may help to prevent heat loss and save money on your energy bills over time.
What Is A Composite Door?
There are many different types of composite doors and various companies that provide their version of the composite door.
Here are a few examples of composite door variants.
- The Standard composite door
- A Solid Core composite door
