Short Composite Doors Made to Fit Awkward Openings

Smaller composite doors are most commonly found in older properties, particularly those built before modern standard door sizes became the norm. Openings in these homes are often narrower and sometimes slightly lower, which means a typical modern door size will not fit without altering the structure.

You may think you can't replace your old draughty door that sticks in the summer and lets the cold in during winter, but our small composite doors may be the answer. The traditional range perfectly replicates timber doors, so you can stay true to the older style and benefit from modern technology.


The front door is one of the first things people notice, and the right composite door can completely change how your home looks and feels. It brings everything together, adding structure, colour and presence to the entrance while reflecting the style of the property.


Whether you prefer something classic or more contemporary, a well chosen design gives the house a stronger identity and a more welcoming appearance. It is not just about looks either. A quality composite door adds security, insulation and long term reliability, making it a practical upgrade that improves everyday living as well as first impressions.



A Small Composite Door in Shipston on Stour

Smaller door openings in older properties can be difficult to upgrade, especially when you want to improve energy efficiency without changing the character of the building.

This short and wide composite door, installed on a property in Shipston on Stour, was designed specifically for these situations. Manufactured in our own factory in Stratford upon Avon, it provides a well-proportioned fit within the original opening, avoiding the need for costly alterations while still delivering a solid, high-quality finish.

This cottage-style door replaces a traditional wooden door that had become hard to live with over time. Like many older timber doors, it required regular maintenance and was affected by the seasons, sticking in the summer as the wood expanded and allowing draughts through in the winter as it contracted.

The new composite door solves these issues, offering a stable structure that holds its shape, improves insulation, and provides a consistent, secure fit all year round, while still sitting comfortably within the style of the property.

Short Composite Doors Made to Fit Awkward Openings

Not every doorway is built to modern standards. Older properties, cottages, conversions and extensions often come with lower or narrower openings that simply will not accept a standard composite door. That is exactly where our short composite doors come in.


Designed specifically for reduced heights and non standard openings, our A-door-ably short doors deliver the same strength, security and visual impact as our full size composite doors, without compromise.


When Standard Composite Doors Are Too Tall


If you have struggled to find a composite door that fits a low head height, you are not alone. Many traditional and period homes were built long before modern door sizes became the norm.


Our undersized composite doors are purpose made for openings where a standard door would require structural alterations. Whether you are renovating a cottage, converting a garage or working around existing brickwork, our short composite doors provide a clean, practical solution.

A-dor-ably Short Doors Without Compromise


Our short composite doors are manufactured using the same construction methods, materials and quality control as our full height doors. That means excellent thermal performance, solid construction and a premium finish across the range.


You get all the benefits of a modern composite door, just sized correctly for your opening.


Minimum Heights and Narrow Width Options


Our short composite doors are available with a minimum height of 1740mm, or 1770mm when supplied with a sill. This makes them ideal for low head heights commonly found in cottages and older properties.


In addition to reduced heights, we can also supply narrow composite doors for tighter openings. Every door is made to measure, ensuring a precise fit without awkward infills or unsightly adjustments.


If your opening is unusual, chances are we can accommodate it.


Ideal for Cottages, Conversions and Period Homes


Short composite doors are particularly well-suited to traditional buildings where proportions matter.


Our range includes styles that work beautifully in cottages and period properties, helping you maintain character while upgrading performance. From simple, understated designs to more decorative cottage-style composite doors, we offer options that feel at home in older settings.


They are also a popular choice for barn conversions, annexes and refurbishment projects where opening sizes are fixed.


Traditional Looks, Modern Performance


While the appearance may suit a traditional home, the performance is firmly modern.


Our cottage-style composite doors combine classic styling with modern manufacturing, delivering strong weather resistance, excellent insulation and long-term durability. You get the charm of a traditional door with the reliability homeowners expect today.


Colours, Finishes and Hardware Options


Our short composite doors are available in a wide range of colours and finishes, allowing you to match existing windows, doors or exterior features.


From classic whites and heritage tones to bold modern colours, there is plenty of flexibility. Hardware options are chosen to complement both traditional and contemporary styles, ensuring your door looks right and works smoothly every day.

A shorter door should never mean a weaker one.


Energy Efficiency and Thermal Performance


Our undersized composite doors are designed to help keep homes warm and draught free.


Excellent insulation properties help reduce heat loss, making them suitable for both older homes and modern refurbishments. A well fitted composite door can make a noticeable difference to comfort and energy efficiency.


Made to Measure Short Composite Doors


Every opening is different, which is why all of our short composite doors are made to measure.


By manufacturing to your required height and width, we ensure a proper fit, clean installation and a finished result that looks intentional rather than adapted.
