Has your home got kerb appeal? If you’re looking for a cost-effective but high impact upgrade, we think one of the best ways to achieve this is with stylish composite entrance doors. As well as looking great and being a sustainable front door option, composite front doors are durable, long lasting and energy efficient, ensuring you maintain a comfortable and constant temperature in your home – without the need to crank up the heating this winter. Here, we give you a rundown on the best front doors Sussex has to offer.

Wrapping up warm for winter: how sustainable front doors keep the heat in

We all know how expensive energy bills can be, so it’s important that all aspects of your home are as energy efficient as possible. This means you can minimise how much heat is lost and avoid using your heating for any longer than necessary, or setting it at a higher temperature than you really need. This of course means you’re saving money on your heating bills, while also doing your bit for the environment.

t’s estimated that 25% to 30% of heat loss in your home occurs through windows and doors, and a quality composite front door can provide insulation to significantly reduce this. These doors are designed to reduce heat loss and air filtration, which means your home will stay warm for as long as possible. Composite entrance doors from Bowalker are made with a market-leading TriSeal frame and a 48mm timber core for better weatherproofing and extreme thermal efficiency. With high-performance CoolSkin technology, these doors withstand extreme temperature changes, keeping your home toasty and warm throughout the colder months.

However, it is worth remembering that many composite doors now come fitted with trickle vents that allow ventilation throughout your home as well. This can help maintain a healthy environment in your property by ensuring a steady circulation of fresh air.

Making materials sustainable

Composite front doors aren’t just about being energy efficient, there are other ways they provide a sustainable option for your home. Composite doors from Bowalker are durable and need very little maintenance, with lifespans of up to 30 years. They are also made from eco-friendly materials such as wood, glass, fibres and other green components which can often be recycled materials or wood from sustainably managed forests. Composite front doors also minimise the amount of waste created, making them a great sustainable option.

Why sustainability is a priority

We all know sustainability is nothing but positive, but how important is it to the average homeowner? The Natwest Group Greener Homes Attitude Tracker report recently found that as many as 66% of homeowners plan to make improvements to the environmental sustainability of their property in the next decade, and 79% of Brits consider how environmentally friendly a property is before they decide to buy.

Sustainability isn’t just a positive for the planet, it can benefit your pocket, which is why homes that have taken measures to be sustainable are more appealing to potential buyers. This will only increase with initiatives like World Sustainability Day on October 30th raising awareness and prompting action.
