The energy bills price cap will go some way to alleviate the pressure on many UK households, but it is only a sticking plaster. Fundamentally, the way we build, maintain and run our homes must change. Not just in the face of rising energy costs and limited energy supplies, but as a way of creating warm, comfortable and healthy homes for everyone.
Investment in Energy Efficient Products
There are several possible scenarios for the months ahead. There’ll be consumers that rein it in, sit tight and weather the storm, spending very little. Others who will choose to invest in improving the efficiency and thermal performance of their home, for long-term reward. And those who wish to move house but realise that financially, now may not be the time to do so, and instead use the money that would otherwise have been spent on estate agent fees etc. to improve their property.
As the UK’s largest supplier of composite doors, it is our responsibility to ensure that consumers can access high-performance, attractive products, easily. A new entrance door is an investment. It can protect a home from the harsh and sometimes damaging effects of the UK weather and contribute towards pleasant living conditions.
“Our doors are proven to be more energy efficient than traditional timber or solid timber core doors.”
Emma Fowlds | Marketing Manager, Distinction Doors
Built to Perform
Our doors are respected for their durability and integrity. So much so that our 44.5mm nxt-gen blank range and 44.5mm Signature and Contemporary blank ranges have proven specific requirements to meet the certification of PAS 24: 2016. We are also proud to be the first stockist and distributor of glass reinforced polyester (GRP) door blanks in the UK to be granted prestigious Secured by Design (SBD) status.
Our doors also offer exceptional weather resistance. Thanks to the water-resistant polymer composite rails, our doors will help keep water absorption away which helps prevent a bowed door. This can happen with solid timber core composite doors, even when there is a simple change in weather.
For added benefit, our decorative glass is also triple glazed and laminated as standard for improved thermal efficiency.
When judging the performance of one brand composite door against another, be aware that there is a misapprehension that increasing the thickness of the GRP skin on the door blank will make it more thermally efficient. This isn’t the case. In fact, the thermal performance could be compromised because the insulating foam core is reduced in thickness.
