More and more homeowners are making a statement with their front doors, and modern composite doors are becoming the most popular choice.
We can now offer the Galactic Collection from Universal Composite Doors. We’ve written this piece to discuss these doors and what makes them different to your average composite door.
What is a Composite Door?
A composite door combines different materials to create something stronger than any single material. Most composite doors feature a solid timber core surrounded by GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) and insulating foam. Unlike wooden doors, composite doors don’t warp, crack or fade, making them low maintenance with better security and insulation.
Introducing the Galactic Collection
The Galactic Collection takes composite doors to another level. These doors stand out from standard composite doors in several important ways.
First, they’re significantly thicker – 70mm compared to the usual 44mm. That’s 59% thicker than standard composite doors you might find elsewhere. This extra thickness makes these doors more secure and improves their thermal efficiency.
Built for British Weather
The UK climate can be particularly punishing for external doors. Rain, wind, and temperature fluctuations all take their toll on regular doors.
The Galactic Collection addresses these challenges with a clever rebated design that includes an extra seal around the entire door perimeter. This triple-seal system keeps draughts out more effectively than standard doors. The outer skin is made from rigid GRP that won’t warp, rot or fade like wood.
This means your front door stays looking good with minimal upkeep – no sanding, painting or varnishing required.
Energy Efficiency
With energy prices what they are, the thermal efficiency of your doors matters more than ever. The Galactic Collection achieves an A++ energy rating – the highest possible for doors.
This impressive rating comes from the door’s thickness and construction. The 70mm solid timber core is surrounded by high-density foam insulation, and every door comes with 50mm triple glazing as standard.
This means that less heat escapes through your front door in winter, and your home stays cooler in summer. Over time, this can add up to noticeable savings on energy bills.
High Security
When it comes to your home’s security, the front door is your first line of defence. The Galactic Collection doesn’t cut corners here.
Every door in the range comes with Secured by Design approval as standard. This police-backed certification means these doors have been tested against strict security guidelines and proven to resist common burglary techniques.
The security features include:
- – Multi-point locking systems that secure the door at several points when locked
- – Four high-quality adjustable hinges to prevent the door from dropping over time
- – Laminated glass in the triple-glazed panels for extra resistance
- – The door’s sheer thickness and rigidity make it extremely difficult to force open
These features work together to give you peace of mind about your home’s security.
Style Choices for Every Home
The Galactic Collection offers a range of door styles to complement any type of property, from period cottages to contemporary new builds.
The traditional range includes classic designs, with their characteristic panel layouts and decorative glazing options. For more modern homes, the contemporary collection features more clean-lined options.
What truly sets these doors apart is the wide range of colours and accessories available. You can choose from the entire Farrow & Ball colour palette or even specify any RAL colour for a truly bespoke look. This means you can match period colours for a heritage property or create a bold statement with a bright, contemporary shade.
The glass designs range from simple fluted or satin options to more decorative choices like Victorian Border or Diamond Cut patterns. With various handle, knocker and letter plate options in finishes from classic gold to modern graphite, you can create a door that perfectly reflects your taste.
What Makes Them Worth the Investment?
Premium composite doors like those in the Galactic Collection do cost more than standard doors. But when you consider what you’re getting, the value becomes clear:
- – A door that stands the test of time with minimal maintenance
- – Superior strength, durability, and security features that protect your home
- – Energy efficiency that lowers heating bills – these doors are 19% more thermally efficient than a 48MM solid timber core composite door
- – A range of door designs and colours that improve the look of your home
- – An excellent choice to increase home value
