What is a composite door?
Composite doors combine several materials. The core, outer finish, glass and locking system vary between manufacturers, so compare the specification of the door you are considering.
The standard composite door range in our designer has a 48mm solid timber core, specified as cross-laminated timber, with a protective outer finish. Inside and outside colour combinations let you coordinate the entrance with both the exterior and the hall.
Its security features include an ABS 3-star cylinder. The cylinder is the part of the lock operated by your key.
Confirm the specification and warranty terms for the door and hardware you choose with your quotation. Read more about composite doors.
Composite or UPVC?
Look at two complete door specifications, including the frame, glass and locking system.
- 01 /
Construction
Composite: A combination of materials; the standard composite range in our designer has a solid timber core. UPVC: A different frame and panel construction.
- 02 /
Appearance
Composite: Panelled, woodgrain and contemporary designs, with solid or glazed options. UPVC: Compare the panel and glazing designs available for your opening.
- 03 /
Budget
Compare supplied-and-fitted quotations for the designs you are considering. Do not compare a supply-only door price with a complete installation.
- 04 /
Security and warmth
Compare the locking system, security certification and thermal performance of the actual doors. The material name alone does not establish which is better.
Colour, glass and hardware
- 01 /
Colour inside and out
Composite doors are available with different colour combinations for the two faces of the door. Choose an outside colour to sit alongside your windows and brickwork, then consider how the inside will look in the hall.
- 02 /
Glass and privacy
A solid design gives a different look from a glazed door. For doors with glass, compare the pattern as well as the privacy level. Decorative glass is not automatically the most obscured option.
- 03 /
Handles and finishing details
Choose the handle, letterplate and knocker as a set. Their position and finish can make as much difference to the design as the door colour.
- 04 /
Frame and threshold
Consider the frame colour, opening direction and threshold as well as the door itself. Available combinations depend on the chosen door style and range.
Composite doors with side panels and top lights
Replacing the door is a chance to consider the glass around it. A side panel sits beside the door and a top light sits above the frame. Both bring daylight into the hall.
For a wider opening, a door with one or two glazed side panels may be an option.
If the entrance faces the pavement, obscured glass reduces the view inside while still allowing light through.
The existing opening determines which layouts will fit. Include any side panels or top lights when you send us a photograph of the entrance.
How much does a composite door cost?
£1,350 to £2,000 for a composite door supplied and fitted. The final price depends on your door design, glazing and installation requirements.
- 01 /
Door and frame
The chosen door range, opening size and frame arrangement affect the specification.
- 02 /
Glass and side panels
Compare a single door with an entrance that includes decorative glass, side panels or a top light.
- 03 /
Colour and hardware
The chosen finish, handle, letterplate and other accessories form part of the specification.
- 04 /
The fitting work
Check whether the quote is for supply only or includes installation, and what work is needed around the existing opening.
Compare quotes for the same job
Ask whether each quotation covers the same door, frame, glazing, hardware and fitting work. Check VAT, removal of the old door and frame, any finishing work, and the warranty terms. A cheaper headline price may cover a different specification.

Google reviewComposite door questions
Can a composite door replace a timber or UPVC door?+
A replacement can be considered for either type of entrance. The existing opening, frame and threshold need to be checked to establish the suitable door and frame arrangement.
Can I choose a composite back door?+
Yes. AJ’s Glass & Glazing supplies and fits composite front and back doors. Tell us which entrance you are replacing when you enquire.
How does a composite door differ from a UPVC door?+
Composite doors combine several materials, with the core and outer finish varying by manufacturer. UPVC doors use a different frame and panel construction. Compare the full specification, glazing and appearance of the designs you are considering.
How long will fitting take?+
The time depends on the entrance, replacement frame and any glazed panels. The expected fitting time should be discussed with the survey and quotation.
What maintenance will the door need?+
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the door finish, glass, seals and hardware. Keep those instructions with the installation paperwork so you can use the right cleaning products and maintenance routine.
Will the old door and frame be removed?+
Yes. Our door replacement service includes removal of the existing door and frame. Confirm any disposal and finishing work in your written quotation.
