Composite doors have become an increasingly popular choice for hotels, resorts, and businesses due to their durability, security, energy efficiency, and visual appeal. However, as with any product, they can develop issues over time that require maintenance or repairs. This comprehensive guide from Be-tech Lock, a leading hotel door lock system supplier in China, provides proven solutions for the most common composite door problems.
What are Composite Doors?
Composite doors consist of a PVC-U frame and door leaf made using various materials layered together under intense heat and pressure. The core is commonly filled with insulation or reinforced uPVC for stability. This solid composition results in exceptional thermal and acoustic insulation.
The outer surface utilizes a glass-reinforced plastic (GRP) skin that resists denting and repels water. Composite doors can replicate wood grains or colors for customizable aesthetics aligned with a property’s style.
Common Composite Door Issues
Despite their durable construction, composite doors can develop issues over years of use, including:
- Warping/Bowing due to temperature fluctuations
- Discoloration/Fading from sun exposure
- Expansion/Contraction Gaps causing drafts
- Insulation Issues from gaps or poor core materials
- Cracking from weather pressure
- Sticking/Misalignment preventing smooth operation
- Locking Mechanism Issues from warping/expansion
- Glass Damage from impacts or temperatures
- Water Leakage through seals or around glass
- Reduced Sound Insulation from gaps
