Choosing between the big composite door names can be tricky when they are all well made. At GFD Homes we fit a range of premium brands, so we can give you a straight, honest comparison rather than a sales pitch. Here is how they stack up on the things that matter: the core, the surface, security, weatherproofing, colour choice, and value.

The core

A solid timber core feels heavier and more secure than a foam-filled one, and holds fixings well.

The surface

A tough outer skin keeps colour looking fresh and stands up to sun and weather over the years.

Security

Look for a PAS-24 rating and a quality multipoint lock. Smart sensors are a growing extra.

Weather sealing

More seals around the frame means better protection from draughts and driving rain.

All the doors here are quality composite doors, and any of them will serve your home well. Comp Door offers an excellent combination of: a solid timber core, a CoolSkin surface that protects the finish from heat and UV, three-seal weatherproofing, smart-sensor-ready security, and a range of colour options to choose from. If you want the fullest specification, top quality, and engineering, Comp Door is for you. That said, we are always happy to talk you through the options and help you choose the right door for your home and your budget.
