Composite and steel doors in East Sussex
A worn frame can undo a good door, so on your East Sussex job in the South East we check the wall, fixings and threshold first.
A flat above an East Sussex shop may need a fire-rated door on the shared route, so we check that before suggesting a standard composite door. Your East Sussex shop may have a rear door that gets little attention, so we check how it locks, seals and closes before quoting.

Common questions
Do you cover all of East Sussex?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across East Sussex, including Brighton, Eastbourne, Hastings, Lewes.
Is a composite or steel door better for a shop's back door?
Steel is usually the stronger choice for a rear lane or yard door, and composite suits a door that also needs to look good and keep heat in. Composite doors can be tested to PAS 24, so the real answer depends on risk, use and appearance.
What colours do steel and composite doors come in?
Steel doors are usually powder coated, and most RAL colours are available. Composite door skins come in a narrower range set by the maker, often with a wood-grain texture. Dark colours absorb more heat on sunny elevations, so check the maker's guidance.
Is a composite door suitable for a flat above a shop?
Yes, as long as the fire requirements are met. A door from a shared stair or from the shop into a flat may need to be a fire door, so a standard composite door is not always right. Fire-rated composite doorsets exist for that use.
