Composite vs Timber Doors
Composite delivers the timber look without the maintenance.
Verdict
Composite for value; timber only where conservation officers insist.
| Feature | Composite | Timber |
|---|---|---|
| Maintenance | Wipe clean | Repaint every 3–5 years |
| Warping in Cornish weather | None | Common — especially coastal |
| Security | PAS24 as standard | Depends heavily on lockset |
| Cost over 20 years | Lower (no re-finishing) | Higher (maintenance labour) |
