Why choose a uPVC front door?

1. Durability

Although metal doors are regarded as the most durable, uPVC doors are not far behind. They also do not rot or corrode and can withstand considerable wear and tear.

2. Security

UPVC doors are extremely difficult to break down. This is due to their dense construction. Unlike wood or fibreglass, they will not crack when subject to blunt force. Locks and deadbolts can be securely anchored within their reinforced frames, and there is also potential for multiple-point locks.

3. Cost

UPVC doors are considerably cheaper than their wood or fibreglass counterparts. They tend to be less elaborate, and they also require less maintenance over their lifespan when compared to wooden or metal doors.
