Composite Doors Edinburgh, Get A Quote

Edinburgh Glazing Company supply and fit composite doors across Edinburgh and the Lothians. If your front door is letting cold air in, looking tired, or simply not giving you the security you want, a composite door is worth a serious look.

Composite doors have become a popular choice for Edinburgh homes because they hold up well against the city's climate, need almost no upkeep, and look genuinely good for many years after fitting. They sit in a different category to standard uPVC or timber doors, not just in appearance but in how they perform day to day.

What exactly is a composite door made from?

A composite door is built from several different materials layered together, each doing a specific job. The outer skin is Glass Reinforced Plastic, commonly called GRP. This gives the door its woodgrain texture and holds its colour without needing to be painted or treated. Underneath that sits a solid, high-density foam core or timber core, depending on the product, which is what makes the door so rigid and thermally efficient.

The frame around the door is uPVC or timber, and the glazing unit is double glazed as standard. Put it all together and you have a door that is far heavier and more solid than a standard uPVC door, but with none of the maintenance that comes with real timber.

What styles and colours are available?

There is a wide range to choose from. Classic panel designs work well on traditional Edinburgh tenements and Victorian terraces, while flush and contemporary styles suit newer builds and modern properties. Stable door versions are also available if you want the option to open the top and bottom halves independently.

Colours run from standard white and black through to heritage greens, rich reds, and modern anthracite grey. Dual colour options let you pick one shade for the outside and a different one for the interior face, which is useful if you want to match a hallway colour scheme without compromising on kerb appeal. Hardware choices including handles, letterplates, knockers, and door numerals are available in chrome, satin, gold, and black finishes.

How secure are composite doors?

Security is one of the main reasons homeowners in Edinburgh choose composite doors. Every door we install comes fitted with a multi-point locking system as standard. The cylinder lock included is rated to resist the most common break-in methods, including snapping, picking, and bumping. These are not optional upgrades, they come as part of the door.

The GRP skin and solid core also make the door itself much harder to force than a hollow or thin-skinned alternative. Composite doors are regularly tested to industry security standards, and the products we supply are chosen with that performance in mind.

How long does fitting take?

In most cases, a composite door is fitted in a single day. Our installation team will remove your old door, prepare the frame or fit a new one if needed, hang the new door, and make sure it sits correctly and seals properly before they leave. You will not be left without a secure door overnight.

On the day of fitting, you can expect:

• Old door removal carried out carefully to avoid unnecessary mess or damage to surrounding brickwork
• Frame replacement if your existing frame is rotten, warped, or no longer fits correctly
• Full door installation including glazing panels, seals, and all hardware
• Lock and security check to make sure every locking point engages properly
• Draught and weather seal test before the team leaves
• Full tidy-up of the work area on completion

What guarantee comes with a composite door from Edinburgh Glazing Company?

The composite doors we supply come with a manufacturer guarantee covering the door slab, the frame, and the glazing unit. The locking system and hardware are also covered. Specific guarantee terms vary by product, and we will go through exactly what is included when we visit to give you a quote, so there are no surprises later.

Our installation work is also guaranteed separately. If anything is not right with the fitting itself, we will come back and sort it. That is something we stand behind on every job we do in Edinburgh and the surrounding areas.

How much does a composite door cost in Edinburgh?

The price depends on the size of the opening, the style and colour you choose, the type of glazing, and whether the existing frame needs replacing. There is no single figure that covers every job, which is why we come out and measure up properly before giving you a price.
