Composite Front Doors - The Energy Efficient Choice

For many people, the level of insulation in their home is a top priority. Having a well-insulated home reduces the cost of energy bills and can help to reduce you carbon footprint.

The first consideration is usually loft insulation. It is relatively cheap, and since heat rises, it is often the one to have the most impact on the overall warmth of your home. If your loft already has the required amount of insulation, the next consideration is energy efficient windows. Single pane windows and old, poorly glazed windows leak heat and allow draughts. Replacing the windows with A-rated energy efficient windows from a reputable company will insulate your home the best. After considering windows, it is vital to consider doors - old doors will have often changed shape with weathering over the years and the poorly fitted door will allow draughts in. Composite doors are a modern door made from several different materials that has the best insulation properties. Not only do the doors not bend or warp due to reinforcement, thus never causing draughts from gaps, but they are injected with a thermal foam, giving the door six times the level of insulation that a wooden door would provide.
