Where Your Front Door Loses Heat
Older doors leak heat in three ways: through the door slab itself, around the edges where worn seals have given up, and under the threshold. On the older terraces and twentieth-century semis around Goose Green, an original timber or early uPVC door often manages all three at once.
You notice it as a cold hallway, a draught across your ankles, and a heating system that works harder than it should through a Greater Manchester winter.
How a Composite Door Keeps the Warmth In
A composite door is built as an insulator first.
- Insulating core - the solid core at the heart of the door resists heat flow far better than a hollow uPVC slab or a solid timber one
- Sealed as a system - door, new frame and threshold are designed together, with continuous gaskets instead of perished draught strips
- Efficient glazing - glazed panels use sealed double-glazed cassettes, so a part-glazed door no longer means a cold one
- Low thresholds without the draught - modern thresholds seal properly while staying easy to step over
Fitted Right, So the Seals Actually Seal
An energy-efficient door only performs if it is fitted square, packed correctly and adjusted so the slab compresses evenly against its gaskets. That is fitter's work, and it is why we supply and fit ourselves rather than dropping doors off for someone else to install. After 25+ years we know that the last millimetre of adjustment is the difference between snug and whistling.
What It Means Day to Day
We will not promise your new door pays for itself by spring, anyone who does is guessing. What you will notice is a warmer hallway, an end to the draught, less outside noise, and a heating system that is no longer fighting a leaky front door. Over the 10 years of the guarantee and well beyond, that adds up.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are composite doors really more energy efficient than uPVC?
Yes, as a rule. A composite door has a solid insulating core, while a standard uPVC door slab is largely hollow, so the composite resists heat loss noticeably better. The new frame and fresh seals that come with it make just as much difference as the slab itself.
My current door is draughty. Will a composite door fix that?
Almost certainly, because draughts usually come from worn seals, a dropped slab or a warped frame, and a new composite door replaces all three at once. The door closes against continuous gaskets on a new, square frame, so there is nowhere for the draught to get in.
Will a new front door lower my heating bills?
It will help, though we are honest about the scale: a door is a smaller area than your windows, so think of it as one solid piece of the puzzle rather than a miracle. The comfort difference in the hallway is usually what people notice first, with the bills following.
Can I have a glazed door without losing the warmth?
Yes. Glazed composite doors use sealed double-glazed cassettes, so you can have light in the hallway without the single-glazed chill of older doors. Obscure glass keeps the privacy too.
What about the gap under the door?
Modern composite doors sit on a properly sealed threshold rather than relying on a brush strip screwed to the bottom of the slab. Low-profile options are available that still seal well, useful for pushchairs, wheelchairs or just not tripping.
Do composite doors help with noise as well as heat?
Yes. The same solid core and tight seals that keep heat in also cut down street noise, which customers on busier roads around Goose Green and south Wigan often comment on after fitting.
Do you cover Goose Green?
Yes, Goose Green is comfortably within our coverage, we are based in Atherton and work across the Wigan area every week. Call 07900 985699 for a free survey and quote.
How much does an energy-efficient composite door cost in Goose Green?
Most of our supply-and-fit composite doors come in somewhere in the low four figures depending on size, glazing and colour. The insulation is not a bolt-on extra, it is simply how the door is built, and your free written quote will show the full price.
How long does fitting take?
Normally a single day. Old door out, new door and frame in, sealed, adjusted and cleaned up the same visit, so there is no night with a gap where your front door should be.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, every composite door we fit carries a 10-year guarantee. If a seal or hinge ever needs adjusting to keep the door closing snugly, we are a local firm and easy to get hold of.
Do I need to pay a deposit?
No. PH Windows & Doors takes no deposits, you pay on completion once you are happy. It is one of the reasons we have over 750 5-star reviews.
