GRP Composite Doors VS Solid Core Composite Doors

---

As standard, all of the doors on our online door designer are GRP Composite doors.

GRP or Glass Reinforced Plastic (fibreglass) Composite Doors are typically filled with foam, making them highly thermally efficient.

The outer layer of a GRP Composite Door is made of two GRP skins bonded to a solid frame which is then filled with insulation which is usually a high-density foam. Unfortunately, due to this foam, the door slab currently cannot be recycled.

We can also supply Solid Core Composite Doors.

You can upgrade your new door to a Solid Core composite door for an additional £200 on top of the price shown on our online door designer.

Solid Core Doors are mainly made of timber, which makes the door slabs around twice as heavy as a foam-filled GRP Door. This also makes the strength of the door much stronger..

Solid Core Doors are the preferred choice of door by the vast majority of insurance companies.

Solid Core Doors are also more environmentally friendly as they are mainly made from wood and can be recycled at the end of their life.

We can also offer a wider range of door designs and colours for our Solid Core composite doors, including double composite doors. 

If you would like to upgrade your door to a Solid Core composite door, please add this as a request in the notes section on the online door design and we will send an invoice for the additional cost.
