Fully Fitted Upvc Back Doors

Are uPVC Back Doors energy efficient?

Enhance your home’s insulation with one of our uPVC Back Doors. They are designed to:

• Keep out draught: Firming sealing your doorway
• Keep heat indoors: Minimising heat loss
• Resist British weather: Standing against the elements

Doors that keep out the cold

How they do so: With rebates, twin seal gaskets and warm edge spacer technology.

Description: A rebate is a section of the frame that the door meets when it is closed, ensuring a firm physical seal. Our uPVC doors are double rebated, with a second seal on the back side of the door’s edges meeting with the frame. Attached to the rebate of the frame and to the door are twin seal gaskets. These close off any gaps between the frame and door, and provide an airtight seal against external cold. The glass we use for our doors employs warm edge spacer bar technology to deflect approaching draught and keep it outdoors.

How uPVC keeps more heat indoors

What they include: Multiple layers within the doors and the glass.

Description: The disadvantage of single-layered doors is that they provide little in the way of obstacles on restricting the passage of wayward heat from indoors to outside the home. This leads to wasted energy. uPVC doors on the other hand are multi-layered, with a tough outer skin and inner foam layer restricting the escape of stray heat from the home. Multi-layered double and triple glazing also fulfil the same purpose, and use warm edge spacer bar technology to deflect heat back indoors.

uPVC is also weather resistant

How this is done: With a rainproof surface that prevents moisture absorption.

Description: Designed for the British weather, our uPVC Back Doors readily withstand the elements. With a non-porous surface, these doors are not prone to moisture absorption or degradation as can occur with untreated wooden doors. This is important as moisture absorption can erode the structure of a door, causing it to fail not only in insulation, but also in security.

In conclusion, uPVC Back Doors are indeed energy efficient, not keeping out the cold, but also minimising heat loss, and preventing potential structural failure with a weather-resistant surface.
