Side hinged doors tend to be made with real timber which can be very heavy and can rot, bow, crack and sag over time. Composite is a lightweight fibreglass type material that is used to build ocean-going yachts amongst many other things. It will withstand high salt levels and damp environments (i.e seaside locations) that timber will not, and doesnt warp or crack with changes in the weather. This makes it the perfect material whether you live by the coast, or simply wish to buy a beautiful, low maintenance door that will last a lifetime. It can simply be wiped clean to remove any dirt if needed.
White gloss GRP garage doors: The high gloss finish just requires an occasional wipe over to keep it in pristine condition.
If ordering a threshold strip this will be pre fitted to the door.
