What Holds People Back
Which Lasts Longer?
Composite doors typically last 30+ years without fading, warping or degrading. uPVC doors last 20-25 years but may yellow or warp over time.
Can I Mix — Composite Front, uPVC Back?
Absolutely. This is one of the most popular combinations — composite for kerb appeal at the front, uPVC for value at the back.
Are uPVC Doors Really That Bad?
Not at all. Modern uPVC doors with multi-point locking are secure and efficient. They're just not as robust or aesthetically premium as composite. For back doors and less visible positions, uPVC is excellent.
Is Composite Really Worth the Extra?
For a front door, usually yes. Composite doors last longer, insulate better, lock more securely and look better for longer. The premium over uPVC is modest compared to the performance gap.
