Composite Doors in County Kildare: Secure, Stylish & Made in Ireland
Composite Door Systems supplies and installs premium Palladio composite doors and uPVC doors, crafted in Limerick and fitted by local experts. Multi-point locking, 16 colours and a finish that never needs repainting.
What is a composite door?
A composite door is an external door built from several bonded materials: a tough fibreglass (GRP) outer skin, an insulating foam core and a strong supporting frame. The result looks like a traditional timber door but is more secure, better insulated and far lower maintenance. A well-made composite door typically lasts 30 to 35 years. At Composite Door Systems in Naas, County Kildare, Palladio composite doors start at approximately €2,000 plus VAT, supplied and installed.
Why Do Homeowners Choose Composite Doors?
Your front door is the first thing every visitor sees and the last line of defence for your home. Composite doors deliver on both.
Exceptional Security
A solid, reinforced build and a multi-point locking system secure the door at several points along the frame, making it considerably harder to force than a standard door.
Energy Efficient
An insulated core and double seals keep cold draughts out and warmth in, so your heating works less hard and your energy bills come down.
Virtually Maintenance-Free
No repainting, no warping, no fading. A wipe with warm soapy water and the occasional drop of oil on the hinges is all it needs.
Built to Last 30+ Years
Fibreglass doesn’t rot, rust or swell in Irish weather. Fit it once and get on with the rest of your home projects.
Value for Money
One investment instead of repeated repainting and replacement. Lower running costs and a long lifespan add up over the years.
Style to Suit Your Home
Choose your style, glass, colour and accessories to match your existing décor, whether it’s a front door or a back door.

How Is a Composite Door Made?
Each layer has a job. Together they create a door that is stronger, warmer and longer-lasting than any single material.
Fibreglass (GRP) Skin
The outer shell is tough, weatherproof and finished in the colour of your choice. It won’t warp, rust or fade like traditional materials.
Insulating Core
A dense foam-filled cavity traps heat in winter and cuts draughts, which is what gives composite doors their excellent thermal performance.
Reinforced Frame & Locking
A sturdy frame supports the door and carries the multi-point locking system that secures it along its full height.
Composite Doors by the Numbers
*Manufacturer-published figure for solid Palladio doors including frame; glazed doors as low as 0.98 W/m²K. Ask us for the specification of your chosen style. A lower U-value means better insulation.
Composite vs uPVC vs Timber Doors

Five things to check before you order.
1. Security
Look for multi-point locking and a solid, reinforced construction. Ask which security standards your chosen door meets.
2. Insulation (U-value)
The lower the U-value, the better the door keeps heat in. Compare the figure for the complete door including frame and glass, not just the door slab.
3. Glass & privacy
Glazing brings in natural light but affects insulation and privacy. Browse our glass designs to find the right balance for your hallway.
4. Colour & hardware
Pick a colour that suits your brickwork and surroundings, then choose gold, silver or stainless steel furniture to match.
5. Installation
Even the best door underperforms if badly fitted. Our local team fits the door properly, with correct seals and alignment.
How Do You Look After a Composite Door?
Composite doors need very little, but a few minutes of care keeps yours looking brand new for decades.
- Clean with a damp cloth and warm, soapy water. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Oil the hinges regularly so the door operates smoothly and avoids wear from friction.
- Touch up minor scuffs using a colour-matched touch-up pen.
- Skip the repainting. The colour won’t fade, so your summers stay free for the garden chair.
Door guarantee & support
Your door is backed by a manufacturer’s warranty. Full terms are on our warranty page, and we can order matching touch-up pens for you.
