and procurement process. For example, the door leaf and glazing system are major components when part of a door set and have a proven ability to achieve PAS24:2016, the industry’s enhanced security standard. This is a prerequisite in attaining Secured by Design accreditation (the police initiative to protect properties and clients against unlawful intrusion). Being granted Secured by Design (SBD) status means stockists and distributors can support SBD-approved door fabricators in manufacturing the ‘ultimate enhanced security doorset.’


Solid performance


A weighted noise reduction of 31 dB is possible with composite doors, keeping outside noise to a minimum for residents


Composite doors offer a robust alternative to PVC panel doors, designed with a solidity that not only feels secure but is secure. In addition, a weighted noise reduction (Rw) of 31 decibels is possible, keeping outside noise to a minimum – ideal for those specifying for buildings of multiple occupancy.


If a GRP skin is specified, this too adds to the door’s durability. The high-impact resistant glass-reinforced polyester is designed to offer exceptional endurance, and will maintain a pristine appearance.


Thermal performance Alongside maintenance and security, energy efficiency has long been associated with composite doors. They are renowned for their thermal performance, assisting in reducing energy bills. With most GRP composite door sets being energy rated A-C, specifiers are not limited when selecting for energy conscious clients.


The future is here With the evolution of smart technology, it’s no surprise that fabricators and installers of this most modern type of entrance doors are embracing the future of hardware and entrance systems. This ranges from keyless door locks which allow users to unlock and lock the door, wherever they may be, to smart locks controlled by smartphones and other Bluetooth devices. Then there is the instinctive collaboration between security experts and virtual assistant AI technology. With enduring demand and reputed evolution, the future of the composite entrance door market is secure!
