Renowned for their thermal performance, the company’s composite doorsets are said to offer better insulation than other materials, as well as improved acoustic properties, low maintenance and enhanced protection from forced entry. These door styles are also ten times more impact resistant than steel and four times more resistant than timber, making them an ideal barrier to prevent forced entry.

The tough through-coloured door skins are supplied primed, ready for painting and, being scratch resistant, there is less risk of surface damage. There is a choice of glazing options – either clear or ‘ice’ effect obscure, depending on preference. Also there is a choice of ironmongery available, including chrome or brass hardware.

Product manager, Chris Miller, says: “We extended our composite doors range as we wanted to make these high performance products even more affordable for housebuilders. Composite doors offer some of the best thermal performances available and are therefore a compelling choice for the market.”

With the Code for Sustainable Homes now a requirement for both social housing and private housing, it is more important than ever that the doors chosen enable a housebuilder to maximise the thermal performance of their properties.

In addition to the two new styles, JELD-WEN offers a complete range of ten standard composite doorset designs in a number of solid colours and wood stain finishes.

Many styles comply with PAS 23/24 resistance to attack and Secured by Design standards.
