How do uPVC French Doors compare to wooden doors?

Needing to replace old French doors? When choosing between uPVC French Doors and wooden doors, you should consider:

• Thermally efficiency: How both door types compare for warmth

Which doors are more thermally efficient?

How they compare: uPVC and wood are both efficient, but there’s a catch.

Description: Both uPVC and wood are poor conductors for heat, making them ideal for retaining warmth indoors. However, uPVC offers the advantage of being weather-resistant, which protects it against moisture absorption, a problem that can occur with unprotected wooden doors, which in turn can warp and let in draught. Our uPVC French Doors also take advantage of double rebated twin weatherseals, and glass with warm edge tech spacer bars, to seal out cold and further keep heat indoors.

Maintenance of uPVC vs wooden doors

What each requires: Little maintenance for uPVC vs regular for wood.

Description: uPVC doors require very little in the way of surface care, needing no more than the wipe from a clean cloth with warm soapy water to remove general stains. They do not require repainting, and so unlike wooden doors save money against the costs of varnishing and painting. Should the surface of a uPVC door chip, it can easily be touched up with a specialist pen or paint in the affected area.

To conclude, uPVC French doors offer superior value for money over wooden doors.
