Composite is a term used these days for many different finished products but we more commonly associate it with replacement windows and doors.   Or in the case of a new build, the original items.   People are turnin to composite over upvc and wood because it can be produced to look like wood but will have no repairs or repainting needed at any time.   The trend today is to have neat windows installed with very secure locking devices and replacing the door is usually done at the same time.  To ensure a seamfree look, all external doors in matching colour and materials brings a truly smart and unified look to the home.  Continuing the maintenance free theme, replacing an older and probably warped, metal garage door with a composite one is vey popular.  They come in a wide range of colours and styles too.  I note that several neighbours have opted for new garage doors with the added bonus of electric up and over facility.  This is such a boon – being able to open the garage door remotely as the car approaches the from the drive.  The doors are lighter weight and much smaller rolling action means they take up a lot less room for tht operation.
