Composite patio doors in the UK are a popular choice for modern homes, apartment buildings, hotels, and commercial properties. They combine two materials – timber on the inside gives the room a natural, warm feel, while an external aluminium cladding protects the structure from rain, wind, and sun. This solution provides good thermal insulation and long-lasting durability. It also allows for large glazed areas, creating a seamless transition between the interior and the patio, balcony, or garden.
Composite patio doors – a harmonious blend of nature, style, and innovation for your home.
Key Features of Composite Patio Doors
Modern and Traditional Design
The VELFAC v200e system complements modern architecture well – its slim frames give the windows a minimalist look. For classic buildings, we recommend the VELFAC ribo system, available with features such as decorative glazing bars referencing Georgian style.
The internal frame is made from timber certified by FSC® or PEFC® and finished with water-based lacquers in various shades. The external powder-coated aluminium cladding, available in RAL colors, protects the wood from weather conditions and allows you to match the joinery to the facade. Both systems can be tailored to both modern and traditional designs.
Functionality and Versatility
The doors are available as single or double leaf configurations. They can open to 90° or 180° when fitted with hinges that allow the leaf to fold flat against the wall. Composite patio doors are ideal as an exit to a patio or garden, especially when a convenient wide passage and weather resistance are required.
Excellent Thermal and Acoustic Insulation
Composite patio doors deliver high thermal performance. With an appropriately selected glazing unit, they achieve a U-value as low as 0.8 W/(m²K) – utilizing double- or triple-glazed units filled with argon gas and warm edge spacer bars. Advanced seals and sound-insulating glass reduce external noise by up to 44 dB. Such solutions are ideal for energy-efficient and passive houses, reducing heat loss and improving living comfort.
Durability and Easy Maintenance
The external aluminium cladding is resistant to corrosion, UV radiation, and changing weather conditions, requiring no frequent maintenance. The interior timber section is protected with an acrylic lacquer. You can opt for a natural wood finish or a coating in a selected RAL color.
Structural performance is confirmed by testing: composite patio doors achieve Class 4 for air permeability, Class 9A for watertightness, and Class C5 for wind load resistance. These are excellent results, indicating minimal air and water penetration during heavy rain and high resistance to strong wind gusts.
High Level of Security
Composite patio doors are available in options meeting the requirements of PAS 24, Secured by Design, Approved Document Q, and RC2 resistance class. Multi-point locks, adjustable hinges, and optional laminated or anti-burglary glass make prying open the sash or forcing the glazing difficult. The rigid frame construction limits distortion under pressure, providing additional building security.
Customisation and Project Fitting
Every door is made to order. We tailor the dimensions, color, handles, accessories, and opening mechanisms to the building and user needs. Within the same composite system, we also offer tilt-and-turn windows, casement windows, as well as sliding and lift-and-slide doors. You can maintain a consistent aesthetic for all joinery, whether in a new build or during a window and door replacement in an existing property.
Why Choose Composite Patio Doors in the UK?
Energy Efficiency
Low thermal transmittance and a tight seal minimize heat loss, leading to lower heating bills. Proper installation ensures declared parameters are maintained and thermal bridging is reduced.
Durability
The aluminium cladding requires no painting or sealing, avoiding the refurbishment costs typically required by all-timber joinery after a few years. With minimal maintenance, the doors retain their tightness and appearance for decades.
Security
Multi-point locking mechanisms and a rigid frame design make forcing the sash difficult. The burglar resistance of selected configurations is certified in accordance with PAS 24 and RC2 standards. The doors also comply with Approved Document Q requirements applicable to new residential buildings in England.
Customization
Every composite patio door is custom-made, allowing us to fit non-standard opening sizes. You can choose the size, color, and opening style to suit your specific building and interior layout.

FAQ
1. Where to order composite patio doors in the UK?
You can order composite patio doors from our company – we are based in Enfield and serve clients across London and the wider UK. We handle the process end-to-end, from advice, measurements, and quoting, to delivery, installation, and technical support. Send us an inquiry with basic project details, and we will estimate the cost and lead time.
2. How much do composite patio doors cost in Enfield?
We prepare quotes individually because every door is bespoke. The cost depends on the dimensions, number of sashes, glazing type, and optional extras, such as anti-burglary glass. Send us a description of your project, and we will prepare a patio door quote tailored to your needs.
3. How do composite doors differ from aluminium and timber doors?
Composite patio doors combine the benefits of both materials – the natural warmth of timber on the inside and the durability of aluminium on the outside. Unlike all-timber doors, they do not require repainting, and unlike all-aluminium doors, they offer a warmer interior character.
4. Do composite patio doors suit older properties?
Yes, and for traditional buildings, we recommend the RATIONEL auraplus system, available with features like decorative Georgian bars. Since they are made to order, we can adapt the doors to non-standard openings common in older properties.
5. What warranty and support will I receive after installation?
We offer a 10-year warranty on materials and workmanship. We continue to provide support after installation – our after-sales team takes care of adjustments, servicing, and potential patio door repairs. We also provide instructions on proper operation and maintenance.
