Composite Doors vs uPVC Doors: Which Is Better for You?

When replacing your front door, two popular choices are uPVC and composite doors. Both look great — but which suits your home best?

uPVC doors are budget-friendly, easy to maintain, and available in many styles. They’re ideal if you want a clean, modern look with solid insulation.

Composite doors, on the other hand, are built from multiple materials including wood, uPVC, and reinforced plastics. This combination gives them outstanding strength, durability, and a premium feel. They resist warping and offer superior security and sound insulation.

In Glasgow and Edinburgh, where weather and style both matter, composite doors are increasingly popular — but uPVC still offers unbeatable value for landlords and family homes.

At Windows Direct Scotland, we supply both, along with storm doors and bi-fold options, so you can choose what fits your needs and budget.

💡 Pro tip: Always check for multipoint locking systems and energy-rated cores for better insulation.
