Should I use Distinction composite doors for my project?
Combining all the best in modern design, classic style and thermal efficiency, Distinction Door’s range of composite doors are the perfect choice for any home. The range is available with a huge range of styles, colours, and hardware. With Distinction’s new composite door designer, your customers can design their door to exact specifications and receive a quote within four hours.
Composite doors and efficiency
Distinction’s selection of Composite Doors provide not only a wonderful looking addition to the front of any home, but also unrivalled security and thermal efficiency. The doors themselves are manufactured using a rigid polymer subframe with a high-density insulated core, which offers excellent insulation, over 17 per cent more than conventional timber doors.
The Distinction Composite Door line offers excellent waterproofing protection, with water resistant polymer composite rails that protect its core. This means the door won’t be affected by water absorption that can lead to skin de-lamination and cause other issues with functionality.
Composite Door Security
Safety should always be a concern but never an issue. Distinction Composite Doors are PAS 24 and Secured by Design accredited, and constructed with Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP), a material known for its high tensile strength and low weight. These considerations produce a door that’s as secure as it is insulating. The same can be said for their ability to deaden the sound of busy residential areas; Distinction Composite Doors have a weighted noise reduction of 31 decibels.
For those customers who desire extra peace of mind, Distinction Composite doors are available with the option for the APECS AP and Ingenious Duplex multi-point lock. With five security hooks and anti-drill, anti-snap and anti-bump locking cylinders, this lock provides truly unmatched security with a ‘fit and forget’ guarantee of ten years.
Design
With Framexpress’ online composite door designer, it’s never been easier for your customers to choose their specifications and see exactly what their door will look like once installation is complete. With more than forty colour options and thirty different designs available, there are more options than ever, but the designer gives you a view of the door in real time and allows you have a reference on hand during the ordering and installation process.
Alongside choosing colour and glazing preferences, Framexpress’ composite door designer allows homeowners to customise any preferences they may have for hardware and door furniture, from handle designs and finishes, to letterplates and doorknockers.
Distinction’s range of composite doors present an energy efficient and modern solution for entranceways. With their realistic wood-grain finish and range of colours and designs available, they offer wonderful aesthetics and security with maximal thermal efficiency, helping to beat rising energy costs and insulate homes for the future.
