Traditional style composite door without the wood grain effect - do they exist?

[Mimca]

Just that really. I hear composite doors are great quality and very secure but I'm not so keen on the faux wood grain look. Solidor seem to do smooth contemporary doors but not in their traditional styles.

I would love a good quality wooden door but I think it will be too expensive and a composite door may cope better with the full sun.

We have a composite door in full sun (south facing) and our house was new 20 years ago. I realise that’s quite a while, but after 10 years we noticed the frame around the glass cracking. Now every bit of trim is cracked, which I wouldn’t have expected over a similar time frame on a wooden door. I’d pay careful attention to the wording on any guarantee.

Thanks Tootles

We've just ordered a composite and the guarantee is 10 years...
