Do Composite Doors Fade in the Sun?

Composite doors give your home much-needed curb appeal. You invest in a new front door. You want to know if the door withstands the outdoors. Specifically, will the sun affect your new composite door?

Do Composite Doors Fade?

Doors and windows normally lose some luster over time. The British climate is harsh. Prolonged exposure can make uPVC frames start to fade. However, a composite door greatly reduces this effect.

Manufacturers make composite doors with a glass reinforced plastic (GRP) coating. This GRP coating protects the door from the elements. It keeps the door looking new and shiny longer.

Cleaning a Composite Door

Keeping a composite door looking fresh is simple. Timber doors require regular painting to protect them from weather. A composite door only needs regular cleaning with warm, soapy water.

Simply apply the warm, soapy water with a sponge. Do not use the rough side of the sponge; it could scratch the finish. Next, wipe away the water using a soft, non-fluffy cloth. Then, give the door a final wipe with another dry cloth. Apply this same technique to the glass and the handles. You can also use a glass cleaner to add sparkle to your glass.

What If Your Composite Door Does Fade?

If you feel your composite door loses some radiance, indeed, you can rejuvenate it with a polish substitute. Multi-surface plastic restorers contain deep-penetrating oils. These oils bring back your door’s pigment and revive the colors. You can apply them with a simple cloth, just like polish.

There are many benefits to composite doors, because they increase security and durability. They look fantastic. They are also easy to maintain.
