Double or single rebate, what does it mean?

In the composite door industry, you may often hear the term "double rebate" mentioned. But what does it actually mean?

Simply put, a double rebated door has two seals: one on the outside of the door and another on the inside. These two seals work together to provide enhanced protection against harsh weather conditions. While a single rebate door only has one seal, the double rebate offers twice the defence against wind, rain, and draughts. If water or wind manages to pass the outer seal, it still has to penetrate the inner seal, making these doors highly resistant to even extreme weather conditions.

This extra layer of protection makes double rebated composite doors a perfect choice for areas exposed to tough weather, such as coastal or hilly properties (Apeer, 2019). With double seals, these doors are designed to stand strong in the face of wind, rain, and even storms, providing superior durability and performance.

The Benefits of a Double Rebated Door

Double rebated doors come with a wide range of benefits:

• Improved insulation: With two seals, double rebated doors keep the heat in and the cold out more effectively than single rebated options.
• Enhanced weather protection: These doors are built to withstand the elements, making them ideal for homes in areas exposed to harsh weather conditions.
• Better draught resistance: Double seals ensure that draughts are kept at bay, making your home more comfortable and energy efficient.
• Superior U-values: Double rebated doors have lower U-values, meaning they provide better thermal insulation, reducing energy costs.
