Before You Make Any Decisions
A composite door is one of the most popular front door choices for homeowners in Wrexham and the surrounding areas of Ruabon, Gwersyllt and Chester, combining the security of steel reinforcement, the insulation of a solid timber core, and the low-maintenance finish of a GRP or uPVC outer skin. A composite front door combines a GRP outer skin with a solid timber core and steel reinforcement — a construction method that outperforms both traditional timber and standard uPVC on every practical measure. Properties across the LL11-LL14 postcode area vary significantly in age and style, and the wide range of composite door designs means there is an appropriate option for most property types across Wrexham and its local areas.
Wrexham is the largest town in North Wales and a major commercial centre for the region. Secured by Design composite doors meet the police-preferred specification for residential security and include a multi-point locking system and anti-snap cylinder as standard features. The town gained worldwide attention when Hollywood actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney purchased Wrexham AFC in 2020, bringing global media coverage to the football club. St Giles' Church is one of the Seven Wonders of Wales. Wrexham has good transport links to Chester and the rest of North Wales.
