At Halstead Glass, we understand that security, durability, thermal efficiency and style are all of great importance when it comes to new doors for your home. Therefore, we prioritise ensuring our doors focus on providing all four of these key benefits. We know that when UK homeowners are looking for new exterior doors, it can be a daunting task to differentiate between all of the options that are available on the market. We are here to simplify that process by comparing the difference between Endurance and Origin doors, in the hope that you can then identify which door design will be most beneficial to you and your unique home.

What are Endurance doors?
Endurance doors are a wonderful choice for homeowners seeking superior durability and security. These doors offer all the excellent advantages of composite doors, plus a little bit more. Unlike composite doors, Endurance doors are constructed with a solid timber core, making them 10 per cent thicker than other doors that are available. Additionally, they are designed with 17 crossed layers of specifically engineered timber as well as an ABS Ultimate High-Security Locking Cylinder, which further boosts both strength and security.
Thanks to their thick and robust structure, Endurance doors are rated very highly for thermal efficiency. Their durable construction effectively prevents cold air from entering your home, whilst ensuring heat is kept inside. Because of the great thermal performance of Endurance doors, you will likely see lower monthly bills due to the reduced energy consumption in the home.
At Halstead, we take pride in our ability to provide a wide range of options for Endurance doors. With a choice of impressive 85 designs, 18 colours and various hardware and glazing options, we offer an extensive collection of Endurance doors, including the Classic Collection, Country Collection, and Urban Collection, which feature a variety of designs that cater to different tastes and architectural styles.

What are Origin doors?
Origin doors are widely regarded as the most premium doors on the market. They are known to be exceptionally durable due to their construction of aluminium inner and outer layers, as well as their Therminax core. This combination provides optimum strength and durability, along with the highest level of security. To further their break-in resistance, Origin doors are equipped with a multi-locking system, meet PAS24 security requirements and are even accredited by the police-backed Secured by Design. With our Origin doors, you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your home and family are well-protected and secure.
The Therminax centre provides exceptional strength as well as impressive thermal efficiency and U-value, which effectively keep harsh weather conditions at bay whilst also retaining warmth inside. This is highly beneficial for maintaining comfortable temperatures in your home throughout the year while also reducing energy consumption and therefore lowering your bills.
Halstead Origin doors are designed to cater to your unique preferences, providing bespoke solutions that match your individual requirements. You have the freedom to select from a vast variety of colours, panels, hardware and accessories to match your home’s existing decor, if you wish to do so. Whether your property has a modern of traditional aesthetic, these doors add a sophisticated and contemporary touch to your entryway.
