Do Composite Doors Improve Property Value?

As a homeowner, making improvements that enhance both the aesthetic appeal and market value of your property is always a wise investment. One improvement that has gained popularity is the installation of new composite doors. But do composite doors really improve property value?

Why is it important to increase the value of your home?

Increasing the value of your home has several benefits:
• Higher Selling Price: A home of higher value can command a better selling price in the housing market.
• Equity Growth: Enhanced home value increases your equity, providing financial leverage for future investments or loans.
• Desirability: An attractive and well-maintained property is more appealing to potential buyers or renters, reducing the time it stays on the market.
• Energy Efficiency: Composite doors are thermally efficient. Energy efficient improvements can help reduce bills as well as make your home more attractive to eco-conscious buyers.

The short answer is yes, replacing an old worn, drafty door with a new composite door can enhance the value of your property. The Composite Door has been the preferred door of choice amongst homeowners worldwide for 25 years. Strong, secure and durable, composite doors combine superior strength with style. Hurst composite doors come in a wide range of styles, colours, glazing and hardware options, making them the perfect choice for your home.

How do composite doors improve property value?

Enhanced Kerb Appeal – A beautiful composite front door can significantly enhance your home’s kerb appeal. Potential buyers often make a judgement about a property within the first few seconds of seeing it. A stylish and well-maintained composite door can create a positive first impression, making your home stand out in the neighbourhood. Explore Hurst’s composite door styles and improve your home’s kerb appeal.
Increased Security – Security is a top priority for most homeowners and buyers. Holding the highest accreditations for quality and security, you can have peace of mind that the Hurst composite door construction – with its rigid polymer subframe, high density CFC-free polyurethane foam core, integral security board and high impact GRP skin – will keep your property safe and secure. All our composite doors are also supplied with an insurance approved high security multi-point locking system as standard, ensuring your family and home are fully protected.
Better Energy Efficiency – Energy efficiency is a key concern for many homeowners. Composite doors help to improve the thermal efficiency of a home, reducing energy consumption and utility bills. Our GRP composite doors have been independently tested and have been proven to be more thermally efficient than a solid timber core door so you can be assured your door is keeping the warmth in and the cold out.
Reduced Maintenance Costs – Homebuyers are often wary of properties that require extensive maintenance. Composite doors, with their durability and low maintenance requirements, offer a hassle-free solution. The reduced need for repairs or replacements over time can add to the overall appeal.

Which composite door styles improve property value the most?

The style of the door you choose can impact the aesthetic appeal and overall market value of your property. Some of these styles include:
Traditional Doors – Traditional doors, from our classic collection, such as the Composite Four, are a popular choice for many homeowners due to their timeless appeal. These doors often feature elegant panelling and classic designs that suit a wide range of home styles, from Victorian to modern homes. Their enduring look ensures that they remain in style for years, making them a wise investment.
Contemporary Doors – For a more modern touch, contemporary doors, such as the Bohemia Three Rectangles, are an excellent option. These doors typically feature clean lines, minimalistic designs, and flush finishes. They can instantly give your home a sleek, updated look that appeals to buyers seeking a modern aesthetic. This style is particularly effective in urban settings and newly built properties.
Cottage Doors – Cottage-style composite doors, such as the Cottage Diamond, are perfect for homes with a rustic or countryside charm. They add character and warmth to a property, making it more attractive to buyers who appreciate a cosy, traditional aesthetic.
Custom Colours and Finishes – One of the significant advantages of composite doors is the variety of colour and finish options available. Opting for bold, custom colours can make your home stand out. Popular colours which can enhance your property include classic shades like Peacock Blue, White, Anthracite Grey, and traditional Black, vibrant choices like Buttercup Yellow, Violet Blue and Red as well as more muted tones such as Dusty Pink, Chartwell Green or Powder Blue for a striking impact.

Investing in a composite door is not just about improving the look of your home; it’s a strategic move to potentially increase its market value.
