If you’re fitting doors in the UK, you need a door that handles the good, bad and ugly weather
British weather isn’t winning any awards for predictability, we can swing from a heatwave to hail in a week – sometimes in a day. And when you’re fitting doors, that kind of unpredictability can be a real nightmare.
That’s why choosing the right composite door is crucial – not just for the look, but for how it performs day in, day out.
You want something that won’t swell in the rain, crack in the cold, or fade in the sun. You want something that installs easily, seals tight, and doesn’t come back to bite you with call-backs.
Comp Doors are built with UK fitters and homeowners in mind. Durable, weather-resistant, and reliable, they just get the job done – no drama, no surprises.
They’re the kind of door you fit once and forget. And in this business, that’s gold dust.
CoolSkin Technology & Moisture Resistance
Most doors hate moisture. But Comp Door is different. It uses patented CoolSkin Technology that shrugs off water, stops swelling, and keeps the door looking sharp, year after year.
This isn’t your average skin-deep fix either. The CoolSkin layer is part of the door’s DNA – purpose-built to tackle UV, rain, and temperature shifts. It means fewer call-backs, fewer repairs, and no customer complaints about bubbling or fading.
Compared to competitor offerings like Solidor’s ABS or GRP skins, CoolSkin performs better under sustained moisture and temperature stress.
You already know what a nightmare moisture-warped doors can be. With Comp Doors, that worry goes out the window.
Where other doors may fade, crack, or absorb moisture over time, Comp Doors hold their shape and colour thanks to the thermoform-resistant skin and its reinforced polymer construction.
48mm Timber Core – Solid and Stable
Here’s the kicker: Comp Doors come with a whopping 48mm solid timber core. That’s around 10% thicker than many standard composite doors, which often sit between 44mm and 46mm.
Compared to some foam-filled or thinner GRP alternatives, this extra thickness translates directly to improved security, greater rigidity, and long-term durability. It also means better acoustic insulation and a noticeably sturdier feel.
What does that mean for you? Better strength, improved security, and rock-solid stability in the face of temperature swings. Plus, that chunky core helps with thermal efficiency too, keeping homes warm and bills lower.
This kind of build quality is exactly why Comp Door prices are such great value – you’re getting more door for your money.
You can get even more bang for your buck throughout April with £50 off if you HAVE NOT previously bought a comp door
Weather Sealing, InvisiEdge, & Threshold Options
Rain, wind, and even salty sea air don’t stand a chance. Comp Doors are fitted with triple-sealed frames and premium weather seals.
The cherry on top? The InvisiEdge system – colour-matched edges that stop moisture ingress and keep the door looking sharp.
Add in a range of low aluminium threshold options (perfect for Part M compliance), and you’ve got a door that ticks every box for both style and function.
How It Handles Install Woes – Expands Less, Warps Less
We’ve all had those doors that swell when it rains and stick like mad in winter. Not fun.
Comp Doors expand up to 50% less than foam-filled alternatives. That means less trimming, less hassle during fitment, and less chance of those dreaded follow-up calls.
You can cut it to size with confidence, knowing it’ll stay true once it’s in. For busy installers, that’s a big win.
Tested, Certified, Guaranteed
It’s not just talk. Comp Door is PAS24 certified, having passed rigorous assessments for security and durability under UKAS-accredited third-party testing bodies like BM TRADA.
It’s also Q-Mark certified, meaning it consistently meets high standards across manufacturing and performance.
Thermal efficiency ratings are independently verified, and doors are tested for air permeability, water tightness, and wind resistance under BS 6375 standards.
There’s also a 10-year guarantee as standard, with options to extend. So when customers ask, you can tell them: “Yes, it’s built to last.”
“It Just Works” – Installer Feedback
From builders to installers to the bloke fitting his own front door – feedback on Comp Doors is solid across the board.
As one seasoned fitter put it: “It’s the kind of door you fit once and forget. I’ve not had a single call-back in over a year, and that says it all.”
It fits first time, cuts cleanly, handles the elements, and doesn’t let you down. That’s what installers keep coming back for. And let’s be honest, if a product saves you time and avoids callbacks, it’s already paid for itself..
Save time. Cut stress. Fit a door that does the job first time.
When you’re fitting doors day in, day out, you need something you can rely on.
Comp Door gives you peace of mind, fewer headaches, and solid performance no matter what the British skies throw at it.
From its ultra-durable CoolSkin tech to that 48mm solid timber core, this is a door built to go the distance – and make your life easier along the way. Less trimming, fewer call-backs, and a smooth install every time.
