Composite Doors Bradford — Manufactured Direct, Designed Around You
Looking for composite doors in Bradford? At Glass Tec Windows, we manufacture and install composite doors from our Bradford base, giving homeowners direct access to the company responsible for producing their new entrance door.
Instead of simply purchasing a completed composite door from another supplier and fitting it, we manufacture our own Distinction composite doors, giving us greater control over the frame, security specification, colour, glazing, hardware, threshold options and production process.
Our composite doors are manufactured using REHAU Total 70 frames, with 3-star security cylinders fitted as standard, premium Secured by Design-approved hardware, an extensive choice of colours and the option of any RAL colour, subject to specification.
Because we control our own production, our typical lead time is approximately 3–4 weeks.
You can explore our full composite door range, create your own design online or speak directly to our Bradford team.

Buy Your Composite Door Direct From a Bradford Manufacturer
There is an important difference between buying a composite door from a company that installs doors and buying from the company that actually manufactures your door.
Glass Tec Windows is based in Bradford and manufactures windows and doors from its own facility before installing them for homeowners across Bradford and the surrounding area.
For you, buying manufacturer-direct means there is no separate finished-door supplier sitting between the company you speak to and the product being made.
We have direct control over key parts of your specification, including:
- composite door style
- REHAU Total 70 frame
- colour
- decorative glazing
- security cylinder
- door hardware
- threshold specification
- opening configuration
- production
It also means that if you have a question about a less common design or something is not displayed in an online catalogue, you can ask the manufacturer directly.

Design Your Composite Door Online
Choosing a new front door is much easier when you can see how the different elements work together.
Our interactive composite door designer allows you to build your preferred entrance step by step.
You can explore door styles, internal and external colours, opening direction, decorative glass, handles, letterplates, knockers, frame colours, thresholds, sills and other popular options.
Can’t Find the Door or Glass You Want?
Our online designer deliberately focuses on our best-selling doors, glass designs and popular configurations.
It is not the limit of everything we can manufacture.
If you have seen a particular composite door, glass pattern or specification that is not displayed online, do not assume it is unavailable.
Contact our Bradford team and we will check the wider manufacturing options.
Because you are dealing directly with the manufacturer, we may be able to offer additional doors and glazing beyond those shown in the designer.
Composite Door Security — 3-Star Cylinders as Standard
Almost every door company describes its products as secure.
We think the specification itself is more useful than another security slogan.
Our composite doors are manufactured with 3-star security cylinders fitted as standard, together with premium hardware that is Secured by Design approved.
That means enhanced cylinder security is not something we reserve solely for a premium upgrade package.
It forms part of our standard approach to manufacturing the complete entrance.
Why the Cylinder Matters
The lock cylinder is one of the components that may be attacked from outside the property during an attempted forced entry.
That is why it is worth asking a door supplier what cylinder is actually being fitted rather than accepting a generic statement that a door has “high-security locks”.
Our answer is straightforward:
3-star cylinders are fitted as standard.
Secured by Design-Approved Hardware
We also use Secured by Design-approved hardware throughout our composite-door specification.
It is important to be precise about that wording.
The hardware we use is Secured by Design approved. We do not blur the distinction between approved components and the certification status of every possible complete doorset simply to make the security message sound stronger.
When comparing composite doors in Bradford, ask each company exactly what you are getting:
- What cylinder rating is fitted?
- Is enhanced security standard or an upgrade?
- What locking system is being used?
- What hardware is fitted?
- What is the frame specification?
The complete entrance matters.
REHAU Total 70 Frames
A quality composite door needs more than a good door slab.
The frame surrounding it plays an essential role in the alignment, sealing, security and long-term operation of the complete entrance.
We manufacture our composite doors around the REHAU Total 70 frame system.
Rather than treating the frame as an anonymous component hidden around the outside of the door, we think homeowners should know what is actually being installed.
You can also explore our wider replacement door range if you are comparing composite doors with other entrance-door options.
Any RAL Colour Available
Your front door is one of the most visible features on the outside of your property.
Colour therefore deserves more consideration than simply choosing between black, white and grey.
We already offer an extensive selection of popular composite-door colours, but because we manufacture the doors ourselves, any RAL colour can also be offered subject to specification.
This gives you far greater freedom if you want to coordinate your new front door with existing window frames, garage doors, gates, railings, render, stonework, cladding or other exterior details.
For a traditional Bradford stone property, you might prefer a deeper heritage-inspired green, blue or neutral tone.
For a contemporary property, darker greys, blacks or a bolder architectural colour may work particularly well.
The important point is that your choice is not limited to a small standard colour chart.
Composite Door Glass and Decorative Glazing
Glass can completely alter the personality of a front door.
A traditional decorative design can add character to an older entrance, while simpler or more restrained glazing often works well with contemporary door styles.
Glass Tec offers a wide range of decorative composite-door glass, including both traditional and more modern designs.
Explore our dedicated composite door glass designs to compare the options available.
Don’t See Your Preferred Glass?
Our website and online designer do not necessarily represent every glazing option available to us as a manufacturer.
If the glass design you want is not shown, contact the team with the style you have in mind.
We will check the additional options available rather than asking you to settle for the nearest design in a fixed online catalogue.
For homeowners looking for a more contemporary combination, you can also explore our guide to NXT-GEN composite doors with Chatsworth glass.
Composite Doors for Bradford Homes
Bradford has a varied mix of properties, so the same front-door design will not suit every home.
Across the area you will find traditional Yorkshire stone terraces, Victorian and Edwardian homes, inter-war semis, detached family properties and modern developments.
That makes the relationship between the door and the property particularly important.
Traditional Bradford Properties
A traditional door configuration can work naturally with Yorkshire stone and older façades.
Depending on the property, this might include classic panel arrangements, decorative glazing, heritage-inspired colours, traditional knockers and restrained door furniture.
Contemporary Homes
For newer properties or a more modern renovation, you may prefer cleaner slab designs, minimalist glazing, longer handles, darker colours, simple hardware or contrasting frames.
There is no single “best” composite door style for Bradford.
The better question is:
Which combination looks right on your particular property?
That is why we encourage you to use the online door designer and experiment before finalising your choice.
Genuine Stormguard Aluminium Thresholds Where Required
The threshold at the bottom of the door may seem like a small detail, but it can affect accessibility, drainage, weather performance and the overall finish of the entrance.
Where an aluminium or low-access threshold is required, we use genuine Stormguard threshold systems.
Our commonly used options include Stormguard AM3 and AM5-family systems, with other suitable configurations available where the particular installation requires them.
We do not claim that every composite door should have exactly the same threshold because that is not how a properly specified entrance works.
The right threshold can depend on whether the door opens inward or outward, required access, existing floor levels, frame configuration, drainage, survey conditions and the property itself.
Where low access is important, an appropriate Stormguard aluminium threshold can be specified as part of the complete doorset.
Typical Lead Time of Around 3–4 Weeks
One advantage of manufacturing the composite door ourselves is having greater control over production.
Our typical lead time is approximately 3–4 weeks, subject to final design, survey, product specification and individual circumstances.
We do not describe that as a guaranteed turnaround or claim that it is always the fastest in Bradford.
What it does mean is that we are not completely dependent on a separate finished-door manufacturer telling us when your product will arrive.
We manufacture the door ourselves.
That gives us better visibility over the production process and means your Bradford sales contact can discuss current lead times with you when you place your order.

ASSURE Registered
Glass Tec Windows is ASSURE registered.
ASSURE is a government-authorised Competent Person Scheme for applicable replacement window and door work, operating within the same regulatory framework as schemes such as FENSA and CERTASS.
For qualifying replacement installations, using a registered Competent Person Scheme installer provides a recognised route for dealing with the relevant Building Regulations compliance process.
For homeowners, that matters because documentation showing that qualifying replacement work has followed the correct compliance route can also become relevant when the property is sold.
ASSURE registration should therefore be viewed as more than simply another logo at the bottom of a website.
It is part of the protection and compliance framework surrounding the installation.
Insurance-Backed Guarantee
We also provide an insurance-backed guarantee.
This sits alongside the normal product and installation responsibilities and provides an additional layer of consumer protection around qualifying work.

What Our Customers Say
★★★★★

The finished door looks fantastic and feels solid and secure. It has completely transformed the entrance to our home.”

Replacing an Older uPVC Door?
Not every old uPVC door automatically needs replacing.
If a door simply needs adjustment, a replacement handle or another minor repair, replacing the complete entrance may not always be necessary.
But a composite replacement becomes more attractive where several problems are occurring together, such as recurring draughts, damaged panels, worn locks, movement in the frame, failed glazing, difficult closing, poor security specification, repeated repair bills or a dated appearance.
If you are deciding whether to keep or replace an existing entrance, read our detailed guide on replacing a uPVC door with a composite door.
Composite Doors for Listed and Conservation-Area Properties
Bradford contains a significant number of older and architecturally important homes.
If your property is listed or subject to additional planning restrictions, do not assume that changing the front door is automatically permitted simply because the replacement fits the existing opening.
The design, materials and appearance of the entrance can be important on protected properties.
If you know your home is listed — or you are unsure whether restrictions apply — check the position with Bradford Council before placing your final order.
For ordinary properties without those restrictions, we can help you choose a composite-door style and colour that complements the existing character of your home.

How Much Does a Composite Door Cost in Bradford?
There is not one useful price that applies to every composite door.
The final quotation depends on what is actually being manufactured and installed.

- size
- glazing
- colour
- special RAL finish
- hardware
- sidelights
- toplights
- threshold
- existing opening
- installation requirements
We would rather provide an accurate quote for the entrance you actually want than advertise an artificially low “from” price that only applies to a basic specification.
