What is the difference between uPVC doors and composite doors?

UPVC doors are the most budget-friendly option available and are generally less expensive than composite doors. UPVC doors are also typically thinner in appearance than composite doors, but are still strong and secure, as well as energy efficient.

Composite doors have progressively become of the most popular entrance door options throughout the UK. They are comprised of a range of materials such as timber, uPVC and glass-reinforced plastic to offer optimal high performance. Each one of those materials are chosen for a particular benefit that they offer, helping to provide excellent levels of security and thermal performance.

Both are able to crafted so as to fit the aesthetic of all styles of homes, be it traditional or modern. As well as a multitude of colours and customisable options available, composite and uPVC doors can replicate a number of different finishes. The maintenance on both doors is also minimal, with a small wipe down generally more than enough.

What is the difference between French doors and sliding patio doors?

The main difference between these two doors is the respective opening mechanisms. Patio doors are able to slide along a wall on either a double or triple track. Along with being double doors, French doors typically open outwards.

Due to their design, French doors will require more space to swing open, usually out into your garden. With sliding patio doors, you will not need to sacrifice any of your internal house or garden space, as they can simply slide neatly to one side.

As they are more on the traditional side, French doors make for a fine choice for older, classic homes. Design-wise, sliding patio doors are more contemporary and so represent a good option for a newer, modern property. Both, however, are more than able to be designed to fit the aesthetic of any type of home.
