Can composite doors be broken into?
Composite doors are manufactured by fusing together multiple materials under high-pressure conditions. This process is one of the main reasons why they are so durable and difficult to break into. The material, reinforced by an insulating core, is exceptionally difficult to break down. Meanwhile, multi-point locking systems also help to prevent intruders from gaining access to your home.

Both come with the latest security features to ensure maximum safety for your West Midlands home. However, the components that make up composite doors make is a fundamentally sturdier door than one made from uPVC.

What does GRP mean?
GRP stands for Glass Reinforced Plastic, which is also known as fibreglass. Offering more strength than steel, this lightweight construction material actively resists corrosion and warping or bowing; an issue that can arise with old or inferior uPVC doors. Used to construct boats, cars, pipes ad roofing, it’s not difficult to understand why it makes such a great door material.
What is steel security mesh?
The Rockdoor composite door is slightly different from the others, as it utilises steel security mesh and uPVC. Made from a galvanised steel sheet, the inclusion of steel security mesh makes the robust door sash 4 times stronger.
