Life Expectancy of your new door
Our doors aren't only better for the planet right now, they're good for the future too. The experts have proven our GRP composite doors last for 35 years - longer than any other type of entrance door on the market. That's less impact on the environment and more quality for you.
Our doors offer a quality orientated exterior door which can be used as a front door or back door and will leave you with more time to enjoy your home rather than continually maintaining it.
