Our Doors
Your front door makes an important statement. It's the first thing people see, so you want it to be stylish and welcoming. But you also want it to be strong and secure, because not all visitors are welcome ones. Official crime statistics from The Home Office confirm that 67% of burglars break in through the door.
We offer probably the largest range of doors anywhere in the UK. We can install PVC-U doors, composite doors, sliding patio doors, French/double doors, bi-folding doors, the list goes on and on.
Choosing your front door can be a daunting task. Between the different styles, colours, decorative glazing, and hardware options, we think that there are around 20,000 different options to choose from. Contact us for some helpful tips on choosing your door.
What’s the difference between PVC-u and composite doors?
This is a question that we get asked on a regular basis.
What is a PVC-u door? - PVC-u doors have been the most popular type of replacement doors for a number of years. The term ‘PVC-u’ stands for polyvinyl chloride - unplasticised, which may sound like gibberish, but it really just means it’s a plastic that excels in performance and durability thanks to it being hard as opposed to flexible.
The reason that PVC-u doors are so popular is that for many people they’re the most affordable and practical choice, but they also offer many additional benefits such as low maintenance, a high rate of thermal efficiency, high security and long lasting.
What is a composite door? - A composite door is a door that is made up of a variety of materials but the materials themselves can vary. In the majority of cases, a composite door is a culmination of a solid timber core, glass reinforced plastic and even some PVC-u. When these materials are combined, they create a door that is both incredibly strong and exceptionally durable.
Composite doors have become more and more popular in recent years. In no small part this is down to the fact that as well as becoming better, stronger and more secure, with more choice of designs, colours and glazing than ever before, the prices have also been reduced so that often they don't cost much more than a PVC-u door.
At Ultimate, we offer both PVC-u and composite doors. Get in touch and one of our experts will help you choose the best choice for your particular requirements.
