Independently tested
Distinction publish testing to BS 6375-1 for weather performance, with acoustic results of 26 dB OITC and 29 dB STC for the slab.
25-year slab warranty
The manufacturer covers the slab's structure and surface. Glass, hardware and our installation have their own terms and guarantees.

Built for everyday life

More to it than
a good first impression.

The woodgrain comes from real oak. Beneath it, the slab combines insulation, reinforcement and water-resistant edges.

GRP outer skin
A textured, low-maintenance surface. Clean with warm water and a soft cloth.
Foam-filled core
Polyurethane insulation within the 44.5mm slab helps your entrance hold its heat.
Reinforced structure
Engineered wood stiles and a central board support the slab.
Water-resistant edges
Polymer rails protect the edges of the door through changing weather.
Up to£5,000Break-in guarantee

Every door we fit has AI Secure locking, an APECS 3-star cylinder and an ILH Duplex multipoint lock. If either lock component fails in a break-in, you are covered for up to £5,000 in compensation. Terms apply and are confirmed before you order.

The complete doorset

The slab is only part of the door.

A good slab can still make a poor entrance if the frame, glass, threshold or fitting is wrong. We settle the complete specification after measuring the opening.

Warmth
The insulated core reduces heat transfer through the slab. The U-value belongs to the complete doorset, so we confirm it for your chosen frame, glass and threshold.
Weather
The slab has published BS 6375-1 weather testing. Survey and installation still decide how the finished entrance manages seals, drainage and exposure.
Access and layout
Opening direction, hinge side, low thresholds, side panels and the step outside are agreed before manufacture. They cannot be corrected with a different colour or handle later.
Fitting and aftercare
Our team removes the old door, fits and seals the new doorset, checks the lock and leaves you with care guidance and a ten-year insurance-backed installation guarantee.

Find your style

142 door styles.

Browse six collections. Open a style to choose its colour, glass and hardware in the quote tool.

Stable Doors

The top half opens on its own while the bottom stays shut and locked. Kitchens, utility rooms and anyone with a dog or small children.

Matching glazed side panels can widen the entrance and bring more daylight into your hallway.

The finishing details

Let the glass
set the character.

From a quiet satin panel to bevels and decorative leadwork. The shape of your door sets the opening; the glass gives it its own detail.

Colour

A colour that belongs
on your home.

Match the windows, pick up the brickwork or give the entrance a colour of its own. You can choose a different finish inside.

This is a selection of the standard range. Any RAL colour can be matched beyond it. We bring physical swatches to your consultation so you can check the colour in your own light.

Door handles

Eight handle finishes on a long backplate.

The backplate carries the lever and the cylinder aperture together, so the lock and the handle are settled as one decision rather than two. The finish you pick runs through the letterplate, hinges and threshold as well.

  • Long-plate door handle in Black Black
  • Long-plate door handle in White White
  • Long-plate door handle in Antique Black Antique Black
  • Long-plate door handle in Anthracite Anthracite
  • Long-plate door handle in Satin Silver Satin Silver
  • Long-plate door handle in Brushed Steel Brushed Steel
  • Long-plate door handle in Chrome Chrome
  • Long-plate door handle in Gold Gold

Which handles a door can take depends on the slab, the lock set and the colour package, so we confirm the exact hardware at specification stage. See the full handle specification

Useful answers

Before you choose.

From fitted prices to colour and maintenance. If you want to talk through your own doorway, we can help.

Read the price guide
How much does a composite door cost fitted?

A checked installation example was £2,000 including VAT: a 900 x 2100mm Distinction Esteem, anthracite grey outside and white inside, with a low aluminium threshold, clear glass and a chrome lever handle. Your price depends on the size, style, glass, hardware and any side panels. Use the quote tool for your specification, or read our composite door price guide. The final specification and price are confirmed after survey.

Why do you fit Distinction composite doors?

The 44.5mm slab combines a GRP outer skin, water-resistant polymer edges, engineered wood stiles, a reinforced central board and a foam-filled insulating core. It gives us a well-built door with a broad choice of styles and finishes. You can see the doors and try the hardware at our Milton Keynes showroom.

What security comes with the door?

Every door we fit has AI Secure locking, with an APECS 3-star cylinder and an ILH Duplex multipoint lock. If either lock component fails in a break-in, the guarantee covers up to £5,000 in compensation. The terms are confirmed before you order, alongside the complete doorset specification.

Can I choose different colours inside and outside?

Yes. Choose a standard finish or a RAL colour match outside, with a different finish inside if you prefer. Glass and hardware are selected for the chosen door style. We bring physical colour swatches to your consultation and confirm the complete combination before ordering.

Do composite doors need repainting?

No. Clean the surface with warm water and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, pressure washers and solvents. Painting the door voids the surface warranty, so choose the finish you want when specifying it.

How energy efficient is a composite door?

The foam-filled slab helps insulate the entrance. A U-value applies to the complete doorset, including its frame, glass and threshold, so it depends on the door you choose. Ask us for the performance information for your final specification; one figure would not describe every combination on this page.
