Composite door buying guides
Everything you need to specify and price a composite door properly, written by the team who fit them across Cornwall every week.
Most people buy one composite door in their lifetime, so there is no chance to learn from experience. These buying guides set out what a Cornish front door actually costs installed, what separates a 44mm solid-timber-core slab from a cheap foam-filled one, and which upgrades are worth paying for on an exposed coastal elevation.
Everything here is written from survey and installation work across Cornwall — from granite cottage openings in the china clay villages to 1970s estates in Truro and Newquay. Where a figure is quoted it reflects real supplied-and-fitted pricing, not headline slab-only prices.
