What You Need to Know First
A composite door is one of the most popular front door choices for homeowners in Yeovil and the surrounding areas of Sherborne, Crewkerne and Chard, 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 BA20-BA22 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 Yeovil and its local areas.
Yeovil is a town in Somerset with a significant aerospace and defence industry presence, with Leonardo (formerly AgustaWestland) manufacturing helicopters here. 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. Fleet Air Arm Museum at nearby Yeovilton is one of the largest aviation museums in the world. The town is surrounded by beautiful Somerset countryside and is close to the Jurassic Coast.
