Modern composite doors are available in over 200 colours — from the traditional Chartwell Green, Cream, and Rosewood that suit Victorian and Edwardian Barnsley properties across S70 and S73, to the contemporary Anthracite Grey, Slate Grey, and Black that suit renovated and modern properties across S75 and contemporary-style extensions throughout the S postcode area. 

RAL colours are available for bespoke matching requirements. At every Barnsley survey we discuss colour specifically — taking into account the brick or render colour of your property, the street character, and your personal preference. The colour choice is one of the most important decisions in a composite door installation and we take it seriously at every survey.

For the vast majority of Barnsley homeowners across S70–S75, replacing an external door with a composite door is permitted development — no planning permission required. Exceptions apply for listed buildings (which require Listed Building Consent for any changes to external doors) and some conservation area properties where external appearance changes may require planning consideration. Barnsley has conservation area designations including parts of Elsecar (S74) and some historic village areas within the borough. We check the planning position for your specific S postcode address at the free survey before making any recommendation — this is a standard part of our process and is included at no charge.

A quality composite door correctly installed should perform well for 30–35 years with minimal maintenance. The GRP outer skin is UV-stable and will not fade, yellow, or crack — unlike painted timber or early uPVC, which typically require repainting and reseal within 5–10 years and begin to degrade noticeably beyond that. The multi-point locking mechanism may require adjustment at 10–15 years as the door settles, and the weather seals around the frame may need replacing at 15–20 years — both routine maintenance tasks. The composite construction itself — core, skin, and frame — will outlast these components significantly. We back every Super Glazing composite door installation in Barnsley with a 10-year guarantee on both the product and our installation workmanship.

A standard uPVC panel door has a hollow or lightly reinforced uPVC construction throughout — a relatively thin skin over a hollow or foam-filled cavity, without the structural rigidity or thermal mass of a composite. A composite door has a solid timber or LVL core, a GRP fibreglass outer skin, polyurethane foam insulation, and a uPVC or aluminium outer frame. 

The practical differences are significant: composite doors are heavier and feel more substantial, they do not warp or twist under thermal change the way hollow uPVC panels do, their GRP skin does not fade or yellow, and their thermal performance is measurably better. The cost is higher than a standard uPVC panel door — but for a front door, which is the building’s most-used, most-visible, and security-critical external component, the composite construction is consistently the right long-term choice for Barnsley homeowners.
