Home › Composite Doors Dublin
Composite doors in Dublin start from €1,800 + VAT and combine a solid GRP skin with a foam-filled timber core, giving the warmth of wood without the warping, cracking or repainting that timber demands in the Irish climate.

By blocking extra external heat, keeping the sunlight outside and acting as a strong opaque barrier, a door serves all of the functions it was created for, but like every other thing, some doors are better at their jobs than others. This is why composite doors are the new favourites of the furnishing and construction industry. Hearing the name for the first time might surprise you, but we have all the reasons to make you realise the importance and need of having a gorgeous door as your constant security guard.

Our Palladio composite doors are manufactured in Ireland specifically for Irish climate conditions. We've fitted over 1,500 composite doors across Dublin since 2003 — Ranelagh red-brick semis, 1950s Drumcondra terraces, Tallaght and Lucan new-builds, and exposed coastal sites in Dún Laoghaire and Howth. Unlike wooden doors that warp in Dublin's damp winters or uPVC doors that fade in summer sun, composite doors hold their appearance and performance year-round — backed by a 12-year manufacturer warranty and our 4.9★ Google review rating from verified Dublin customers.
Composite doors feature solid thermoplastic skin over rigid foam core – 6 times stronger than hollow uPVC doors. Every installation includes:
Achieve U-values of 0.8-1.0 W/m²K with triple glazing as standard. Dublin customers report 15-20% reduction in heating bills. All installations qualify for SEAI grant consideration.
Unlike wooden doors needing annual painting and varnishing, composite doors never need treatment. Simple wipe-down twice yearly maintains appearance for 35+ years.

Choose APEER for maximum security and lifetime warranty.
Choose composite for front doors. Composite lasts 35+ years vs 20-25 for uPVC. Composite is 6x stronger with 10-point locking vs 3-5 point on uPVC. Composite looks like real wood, uPVC looks plastic. Composite has better insulation (U-value 0.8-1.0 vs 1.2-1.4). Composite adds €2,000-€3,000 to home resale value. Composite costs €1,800-€2,400 vs €1,170-€1,800 for uPVC. The extra €600-€800 gets you 10-15 extra years lifespan, better security (insurance companies prefer composite), and 15-20% lower heating bills. Use uPVC for back doors where less visible from street. Most Dublin homeowners install composite front door + uPVC back door for best value.
Yes. Composite doors have U-values 0.8-1.0 W/m²K vs 1.8-2.2 for old wooden doors. This typically improves BER by 1-2 grades and saves €200-€350 annually on heating bills. Triple glazing eliminates drafts and prevents hallway condensation common in Dublin homes.
Composite doors are 6x stronger than wooden doors. Wooden doors can be kicked in within 30 seconds. Composite doors withstand 60 seconds of crowbar, kicking, and drilling attacks (PAS 24 certified).
