» » THIS IS THE TIME OF YEAR WHEN
lots of solid timber core composite doors
warp and swell for a number of reasons. This
has proven to be a common factor across the
market, much to the annoyance of installers
who find themselves dealing with unhappy
customers, negative reviews, and more time
spent returning to completed jobs instead of
selling.
One of the main issues that installers have to
face with composite doors is the fact that homes
are heated from the interior, causing the inside
face of the door to warm up while the exterior
face is left open to the ice-cold air. Consequently,
this can cause doors to twist and warp. To ensure
this doesn’t happen to an Endurance composite
door, a number of measures have been put in
place throughout the build.
The Endurance door features a solid timber
core which has over 17 laminations, making
it far less susceptible to twisting and warping
than solid core alternatives. The layers of an
Endurance door are also cross layered, further
improving resistance to any warping. The
Endurance door warping tolerance is 3mm,
which means that if it warps more than that,
then Endurance will replace the slab free of
charge: other manufacturers won’t replace
unless it warps by over 10mm.
A second issue is the fact the consistently wet
conditions can cause water ingress at the foot
of some solid timber core composite doors. In
turn, water ingress leads to swelling that can
cause the door to get stuck or refuse to close.
To avoid this, the Endurance door design has
an integrated Moisture Barrier strip its foot of
the door; which is made of RocFoam, a blown
PVC product that is manufactured in-house
by Rocal Extrusions; the plastic extrusion arm
of the Rocal Group. The RocFoam Moisture
Barrier System completely protects the timber
core – making it highly resistant to swelling.
Alongside this, the Endurance Door Design
can also stand up to the test of even the
hottest summer’s day. Other composite door
manufacturers use skins that can crack or fade
in direct sunlight. The patented CoolSkin
technology is designed to reflect 90% of
the sun’s rays, making even the darkest of
Endurance Door’s 19 colour options suitable
for even south-facing entrances.
