Best Composite Doors?

Hi,

I've been reading about composite doors for ages now but I still can't find a good recent thread that covers the below.

I have a choice of 5 makes of composite doors. I'd like to know which is best based on antiwarping, antifading ect.

the manufacturers are:

RockDoor
Solidor
DoorStop
Phoenix
Consort

I'm not interested in price as such (only a difference of £200 quid between them all) it's all down to quality. So pro's and cons really

Many thanks

Fazzer

    Rockdoor would be the first choice i fit these and i also fit door stop doors never fitted any of the others. The only problem with the rockdoors is if the glass ever gets smashed you cant just replace the glass you have to replace the whole door (not the frame). The door stop ones have a removalable cassette so the slab can be deglazed.

    A while ago my next door Neighbour had problems with cracking of the skin of the door. It was a mid-blue colour, and gets the full force of the sun from 10am until 1 pm, and gets pretty warm in the Sun.
    In fact she may be on her 3rd door now .....

    I have a GRP front door, in Blue and it gets the Sun from 2pm till Sundown and no problems here. I suspect it's an issue with her door manufacturer.
