Door replaced with an Endurance composite door.

Composite doors have gained popularity in recent years due to their durability, security, and aesthetic appeal. A distinguishing feature of composite doors is the use of a solid timber core. In this article, we delve into how a solid timber core enhances the strength of composite doors and why it makes Endurance Doors a step above the rest.

The Solid Timber Core: The solid timber core serves as the foundation of an Endurance composite door. It consists of multiple layers of laminated timber, typically around 15 laminations, bonded together to create a robust and stable core. This construction method ensures that the door remains solid and resistant to common issues such as warping, twisting, and bowing, often experienced with other door types.

Structural Integrity – Endurance Doors Are Sledge Hammer-Proof: The inclusion of a solid timber core provides several benefits that contribute to the overall strength of composite doors. Firstly, it adds structural integrity, making the door more resistant to forced entry and enhancing the security of your home. Composite doors with a solid timber core undergo rigorous testing, including sledgehammer testing, to ensure their strength and durability.

Improved Thermal Efficiency
Moreover, the solid timber core enhances the thermal efficiency of the door. Timber is a natural insulator, helping to retain heat within your home and prevent drafts. This leads to energy savings and a more comfortable living environment, particularly during colder months.

Enhanced Acoustic Insulation
The solid timber core also improves the acoustic insulation properties of composite doors. The multiple layers of timber act as a sound barrier, reducing noise transmission and creating a quieter and more peaceful indoor environment. This is particularly advantageous if you reside in a noisy area or near a busy road.

Moisture Resistance
Another advantage of a solid timber core is its resistance to moisture. Timber possesses natural properties that make it resistant to water absorption, minimising the risk of swelling, rotting, or warping. This makes composite doors with a solid timber core suitable for all weather conditions, including areas with high humidity or frequent rainfall.

Customisation Options
In addition to the strength and durability provided by the solid timber core, composite doors offer a wide range of design options to match your personal style and complement your home’s aesthetics. From traditional to contemporary designs, there are various colours, finishes, and glazing options available to create a door that reflects your individual taste.

Choose Quality and Durability
When selecting a composite door, it is crucial to consider the quality of the solid timber core. Not all composite doors are created equal, and some may feature a less robust internal subframe, compromising the door’s strength and structural integrity. Look for composite doors that incorporate a solid timber core made from high-quality materials, such as the Kerto® LVL Timber Core used in Endurance Composite Doors.

The solid timber core is a vital element that enhances the strength of composite doors. It provides structural integrity, enhanced security, improved thermal and acoustic insulation, and resistance to moisture. When choosing a composite door for your home, ensure it features a solid timber core to guarantee long-lasting durability and peace of mind.
