Which is better a upvc composit or hardwood timber front door?

For many homeowners, the choice between a uPVC composite and hardwood timber front door can be a difficult one to make. Not only can there be differences in price, but also in aesthetics, durability, and energy efficiency. To help you decide which type of door is best for your home, here is an overview of both materials so that you can make an informed decision.

uPVC Composite
uPVC (unplasticized polyvinyl chloride) is a versatile material known for its excellent insulation properties and moisture resistance capabilities. It is typically a the cheaper option when compared to hardwood which makes it an attractive choice for those who are on a budget, however its not as energy efficient. Furthermore, uPVC doors are not as attractive as timber made frames that are superior to UPVC.

Hardwood Timber
Hardwood timber doors have been popular for centuries due to their impressive beauty and strength. This type of door does require some extra care during installation as well as regular maintenance to keep it looking its best - but the effort will pay off with increased security and superior insulation capabilities! Bespoke wooden joinery specialists offer custom front doors tailored to meet the exact needs of the homeowner; from traditional designs to modern styles – making each entranceway unique!

 Overall, deciding which type of material to choose for your new front door depends on various factors such as budget, appearance preferences, security needs & energy efficiency ratings. If you’re looking for an aesthetically pleasing solution that requires little ongoing maintenance then a uPVC composite may be right for you - however if lasting good looks combined with improved insulation & enhanced protection are top priority then investing in quality hardwood timber joinery could be the best way forward!
