Your front door does more than any other part of the house for first impressions, security and warmth \u2014 and a composite door is the upgrade most Manchester homeowners reach for when they replace a tired timber or early uPVC entrance. Unlike a hollow uPVC door, a composite door is built from several materials bonded together around a solid, insulated core, which is what gives it its strength, its quietness and its reassuring, substantial feel when it closes.
It's a popular choice right across the spread of Greater Manchester housing \u2014 the Victorian and Edwardian terraces of Chorlton, Levenshulme and Whalley Range, the 1930s semis through Sale, Cheadle and Heaton Moor, and the newer builds around Salford Quays and the city centre.

A solid layered core plus multi-point locking makes a composite door far harder to force than a worn timber or hollow uPVC door \u2014 a real reassurance on terraced and semi streets.
The insulated foam core and modern weather seals cut draughts and help keep heat in, which can shave money off heating bills compared with an old, poorly fitting door.
No warping, no rot, no repainting. An occasional wipe-down keeps a composite door looking new \u2014 most last 30 years or more and come with a manufacturer guarantee.
A wide choice of colours, glazing and traditional or contemporary styles means the door can lift the whole front of the house \u2014 and the value of the property with it.
From period-perfect to crisp and modern \u2014 there's a style to suit every Manchester home.
Panelled designs with decorative or stained glass \u2014 a natural fit for Victorian and Edwardian terraces.
Clean lines, long bar handles and bold slab colours \u2014 ideal for modern builds and renovated semis.

Colour is the most-searched composite door choice. These are the most popular finishes across Greater Manchester \u2014 anthracite grey and black lead the way.
