Composite doors appear to have gained more support through recent infestation of unwanted house pests. With the damp weather that has been sweeping through England, particularly the North East despite the promise of summer, large numbers of slugs are entering households causing unwarranted stress to homeowners. There are different methods that have lasted the length of time in eradicating this problem, namely lining doors/windows with salt which is effective as slugs are in essence mostly moisture.
A "Green Option", an environmentally friendly way to deal with slugs may be preferred however. Ensuring that all garden waste is removed from outside of the house and trying to limit the effects of damp is advocated. Alongside this taking the time to make sure that any obvious or not so obvious holes where they may enter the house will make the house unattractive to them. Slugs can make themselves extremely small and have been known to get in through cracks within door frames much to the annoyance of most residents.
Composite doors such as those manufactured by Selecta are protected against warping and cracking and this is highlighted by the 25 year guarantee that consumers are given upon purchase. There are many benefits in buying composite doors and with the recent war on slugs homeowners may have another reason to make a change to their household entrance.
