Why Should I Buy a PVC-U/uPVC Door?

There are lots of things to consider when you’re choosing a new entrance door for your home. One of the first things is to decide whether you want a composite door or a PVC-U (also referred to as uPVC) door. PVC doors are a popular choice for homeowners, but when faced with a decision between the two, one of the most common questions we’re asked is ‘why should I buy a PVC door?’

To help you decide, we’ve put together a handy guide outlining why PVC doors are an excellent choice for any home.

1. PVC doors are cost-effective without compromising on quality

As one of the most versatile door options in the market, PVC doors are highly practical and can be a more affordable alternative to a composite door, whilst boasting all of the style and durability benefits you would expect from a door that protects your home.

2. uPVC doors offer excellent insulation

Protected by Heat Reflective Technology, Hurst PVC doors have a heat reflective skin which, when combined with an extra high-density core, provides excellent insulation. This means your door does more than just look great; it also helps block noise and heat from entering or escaping your home.
