The benefits of an Apeer70 composite door by Fairco

Apeer composite door with magic wreath

A composite door is more than an entrance; it’s an investment in comfort, security, and long-term performance. Each Fairco Apeer70 Composite Door is precision-engineered in Ireland and built to deliver superior energy efficiency, strength, and style all year round.

A++ energy upgrade for year-round comfort

A Fairco Apeer70 Composite Door is designed to deliver exceptional insulation and comfort in every season. At its core lies a 70 mm super-insulating polyurethane layer – up to seven times more thermally efficient than a standard door. This dense, high-performance core is enclosed within a reinforced GRP (glass-reinforced plastic) outer shell and internal steel structure, creating a door that’s strong, stable, and built to perform in Ireland’s changing climate.

A double-sealed rebate system keeps out draughts and moisture, while triple glazing with gas-filled units enhances warmth and sound insulation. The result is a quieter, more energy-efficient home with U-values as low as 1.0 W/m²K, helping to reduce energy bills while keeping your living space consistently comfortable.

Enhanced security and lasting strength

Every Apeer70 door by Fairco exceeds PAS 24 security standards, giving you complete peace of mind. Advanced multi-point locking systems, security-laminated glazing, and a rigid reinforced framework work together to protect your home against intrusion while maintaining a sleek, contemporary appearance.

Engineered to resist warping, fading, and cracking, each door is designed for long-term performance with minimal maintenance – no sanding, no repainting, just enduring strength and style. Paired with your chosen premium colour, your new Fairco entrance door becomes a statement of craftsmanship and confidence: elegant, distinctive, and built to last.

    Why aluminium windows and doors are the right choice for you.

    19th June 2025 by The Fairco Team

    Aluminium windows and doors are the preferred choice for discerning homeowners, architects, and builders. Renowned for their exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and design flexibility. Their seamless compatibility with double or triple-glazing makes them a superior option, offering outstanding energy efficiency, durability, and modern appeal.

    Once more valuable than gold, aluminium was a rare and precious material when first discovered in the mid-1800s. Its scarcity and challenging extraction process elevated it to luxury status. Today, thanks to modern industrial advancements, aluminium has become one of the most widely used and versatile metals in contemporary architecture.

    Explore the key advantages of aluminium doors and windows, the range of styles available, and why this remarkable material continues to lead the way in modern design and construction.

     

    Aluminium windows and doors for your home and business

     

    Strength without the bulk

    Aluminium is up to three times stronger than timber, yet significantly lighter. This strength-to-weight ratio means that windows and doors can be designed up to 30% larger than traditional materials, ideal for homeowners seeking expansive views and slimline aesthetics without compromising structural integrity.

     

    Built for the Irish climate

    Aluminium is naturally resistant to corrosion and doesn’t warp, swell, or crack over time. This makes it particularly well-suited for the damp and varied Irish climate. Unlike timber, aluminium doesn’t require regular painting or sealing. Fairco’s aluminium products are coated with a durable polyester powder finish, providing long-lasting protection against fading and environmental wear.

    With minimal upkeep, just a simple wipe with a damp cloth, Fairco aluminium windows and doors can last up to 45 years or more, making them an excellent long-term investment.

     

    Energy efficiency through innovation

    As energy performance standards evolve, aluminium windows and doors have kept pace with cutting-edge innovation. Fairco’s aluminium range includes polyamide thermal break technology, allowing our systems to exceed the energy efficiency requirements of current Building Regulations.

    All our windows and doors are BFRC-certified, ensuring you benefit from verified thermal performance and reduced heat loss, saving on energy bills while improving your home’s comfort.

     

    Customised to your style

    At Fairco, we understand that every home is unique. That’s why our aluminium range offers near-limitless possibilities for customisation. Choose from an extensive palette of RAL colours, including dual-colour options for interior and exterior contrast. Textures range from matte, glossy, and wood-effect to fine sand finishes.

    Our Silka collection is a standout, offering a beautifully smooth matte texture, minimalist design, and outstanding thermal performance. For a bold, frame-free look, explore our Lumi range — flush glazing with uninterrupted glass surfaces for a clean, contemporary aesthetic.

    Every product in the Fairco Aluminium range can be tailored to suit both traditional and modern architectural styles, available in both windows and doors.

     

    Sustainable and environmentally friendly

    Aluminium is 100% recyclable without loss of quality. In fact, 75% of all aluminium ever produced is still in use today. Choosing Fairco aluminium doors and windows means you’re making an environmentally conscious decision that reduces your carbon footprint and supports long-term sustainability.

     

    Explore the Fairco Aluminium range

    Our range is engineered for superior performance with minimal maintenance. Choose between double or triple-glazing options for optimal energy savings and comfort. All styles are available as both windows and doors, and include:

    • French doors
    • Bi-folding doors
    • Sliding doors
    • Casement windows
    • Tilt and turn windows
    Silka range

    Silka combines minimalist design with a luxurious, silky-smooth matte finish for a contemporary look that’s both elegant and understated. With exceptional thermal insulation, concealed hinges, and clean lines, Silka windows and doors offer a premium aesthetic without compromise on performance.

    Lumi range

    Lumi is all about uninterrupted light and bold design. These frameless, edge-to-edge glazed Lumi windows and doors provide a sleek, modern appearance while delivering top-class energy efficiency and security. Ideal for homeowners who want cutting-edge style with the strength and insulation to match.

    Fairco Aluminium range

    Our core aluminium range offers timeless style, strength, and flexibility. Designed to withstand the Irish climate, these windows and doors combine robust performance with refined detailing, and are available in a wide selection of styles, colours, and configurations to suit any architectural vision.

    What are the best front doors for my home?

    26th March 2025 by The Fairco Team

    Accoya Timber vs Composite vs OMNIA by Fairco

     

    First Impressions Start at the Front Door

    It’s the first thing your guests see, the last thing you touch when you leave, and the entry point to the life you’ve built inside. Your front door is more than just a barrier—it’s a statement. It speaks to your personal style, your home’s character, and your values around security, warmth, and welcome.

    Choosing the right front door is about blending form and function—a door that not only looks beautiful but performs all year round. At Fairco, we offer three exceptional front door options to suit different styles, priorities, and budgets: Accoya Timber, Composite, and our premium OMNIA by Fairco system.

    In this guide, we’ll break down the benefits of each to help you find the perfect fit for your home.

     

    What to Look for in a Great Front Door

    Before comparing materials, it’s helpful to know what makes a front door “great” in the first place. An ideal front door should:

    • Enhance kerb appeal and match your home’s style
    • Provide strong security and peace of mind
    • Offer excellent insulation to reduce draughts and energy bills
    • Be durable, weatherproof, and easy to maintain
    • Reflect your personal taste with custom finishes and colours

    All Fairco doors deliver on these essentials—but they do so in slightly different ways.

     

    Accoya Timber Front Doors: Natural Beauty, Built to Last

    If you love the character and warmth of real wood, nothing compares to an Accoya timber front door. Made from sustainably sourced timber and modified for superior durability, Accoya is one of the most high-performance natural materials available today.

    Why Choose Accoya?

    • Stunning natural woodgrain and timeless elegance
    • Unmatched dimensional stability—resists swelling, warping, or shrinking
    • Built for Irish weather, with exceptional weatherproofing
    • A++ energy performance rating, keeping your home warm and quiet
    • Fully customisable with rich colours, decorative glazing, and period detailing

    Fairco’s Accoya doors are ideal for heritage homes, architectural renovations, or homeowners who want the beauty of timber with the peace of mind of modern performance. Treated to last, these doors age gracefully and hold their finish for years with minimal maintenance.

     

    Composite Front Doors: Strength, Style, and Value

    Looking for a low-maintenance, high-security front door with serious curb appeal? Fairco’s composite doors are a popular choice for busy households who want the perfect balance of form and function.

    Why Choose Composite?

    • Robust construction with a rigid core and aluminium subframe
    • Highly burglar-resistant, with multi-point locks and internal beading
    • Excellent thermal insulation and soundproofing
    • Wide range of colours, textures, and styles to suit modern and traditional homes
    • Weather-sealed for long-lasting performance

    Our composite doors are engineered to withstand tough conditions and require almost no upkeep. They’re a brilliant option for modern homes, families, and anyone who wants long-term performance without sacrificing visual impact.

     

    OMNIA by Fairco: A Seamless Design System

    If you’re renovating your whole home or want every window and door to work in harmony, the OMNIA by Fairco system is your ideal choice. These front doors are part of our premium OMNIA range, which also includes casement windows, French doors, and tilt & turn options—all designed to integrate seamlessly.

    Why Choose OMNIA?

    • True flush sash design inside and out
    • Ultra-modern, minimalist styling
    • A++ thermal performance with U-values as low as 0.79
    • Built-in security enhancements to exceed 2025 building regulations
    • Available in 13 colour options and 8 textured Feinstruktur foil finishes
    • Matches OMNIA windows and doors for a cohesive, contemporary aesthetic

    OMNIA doors are perfect for design-conscious homeowners looking for a sleek, energy-efficient entrance that complements the full window and door system. Whether you’re modernising a classic redbrick or completing a new build, OMNIA delivers unmatched performance and polish.

     

    Which Door Is Right for You?

    Each of our front door styles offers exceptional performance, but your ideal choice depends on your priorities:

    Door Type Best For
    Accoya Timber Period properties, natural finish lovers, heritage style
    Composite Busy homes, high security, low maintenance
    OMNIA Contemporary homes, system matching, energy goals

    Still unsure? Our team is here to guide you. We’ll help you match your door to your home’s architecture, your energy needs, and your personal style.

    How to maintain your Accoya Timber front door

    12th March 2025 by The Fairco Team

    Simple Steps to Keep Your Fairco Timber Door Looking Beautiful for Years

    A front door is more than an entrance—it’s the first impression your home makes. At Fairco, our Accoya timber front doors are designed to offer timeless beauty, exceptional performance, and durability that stands up to the Irish climate. But like any high-quality timber product, a little care goes a long way.

    Whether you’ve recently installed your Fairco Accoya front door or are considering one for your home, here’s your complete guide to maintaining it properly, so it continues to look stunning and function flawlessly for many years to come.

     

    Why Choose Accoya Timber?

    Accoya is a premium, sustainably sourced timber known for its outstanding stability and longevity. It resists swelling, warping, and rotting—making it ideal for Ireland’s unpredictable weather. It also has excellent insulation properties and a long-lasting finish, helping you maintain both beauty and performance with minimal maintenance.

    That said, every natural material benefits from a little care and attention. With just a few simple steps, your Accoya door can last decades – while still looking as elegant as the day it was installed.

     

    Maintenance Tips for Accoya Timber Doors

    1. Clean Regularly

    Use a soft cloth and mild soapy water to wipe down your door, especially after heavy rain or seasonal changes. This removes dirt, grime, and airborne particles that can build up over time. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning products—they can damage the protective finish.

    Tip: Focus on areas around handles and lower panels, where dirt accumulates most.

    2. Inspect for Minor Damage

    Timber is naturally strong, but outdoor use can expose your door to occasional knocks or wear. Check for cracks, chips, or splits annually — especially after a storm or harsh winter.

    If you notice any small imperfections, contact Fairco for advice or touch up using an approved finish. Catching minor issues early helps prevent larger problems later.

     

    3. Refresh the Finish When Needed

    Depending on your chosen finish and your home’s exposure to weather, your door may benefit from recoating every few years. This helps protect the surface and retain the colour depth, sheen, and durability.

    Fairco can advise on the best finishing products for your door – whether it was originally treated with paint, stain, or oil. Maintaining your finish protects not just appearance but also the structural integrity of the wood.

     

    4. Lubricate Hinges and Locks

    Just like with any exterior door, light lubrication of hinges, locks, and moving parts helps maintain smooth operation. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or light oil to:

    • Hinges
    • Deadbolts
    • Latch mechanisms

    This also prevents creaks or stiffness caused by changing temperatures and humidity.

     

    5. Check the Weatherstripping

    Weatherstripping is key to keeping your home warm and energy-efficient. Periodically inspect the rubber or foam seals around the frame for wear, compression, or peeling. Replace or repair any sections that are damaged to prevent draughts and maintain your door’s A++ energy rating.

    Bonus Tip: Treat It Like Fine Furniture

    An Accoya timber door is a premium feature of your home. While it’s designed to stand up to the elements, it thrives with the same care you’d give to any high-end wood product. That means:

    • Avoiding slamming
    • Using handles and hardware gently
    • Keeping surfaces clean and dry when possible

    The better you treat it, the longer it will serve you – both functionally and beautifully.

     

    Low-Maintenance Luxury That Lasts

    At Fairco, we chose Accoya timber for a reason. It offers the warmth and charm of natural wood, but with exceptional durability and weather resistance. With just a little routine care, your door will maintain its elegant appearance and outstanding performance for decades.

     

    Thinking About a Timber Door Upgrade?

    Fairco’s Accoya timber front doors offer:

    • A++ energy performance
    • Outstanding stability in all weather conditions
    • Premium finishes and lasting colour
    • Elegant, handcrafted design
    • Built-in security with robust hardware

    How to choose the right patio door?

    4th March 2025 by The Fairco Team

    Comparing Sliding, Bi-Fold, French, and OMNIA Doors for style, light & living

    When you’re upgrading your home or planning a renovation, few decisions are as satisfying and as impactful as choosing the right patio door. These doors aren’t just a functional connection between your indoor and outdoor spaces. They affect how light enters your home, how rooms flow, and even how you entertain or relax.

    At Fairco, we offer a complete range of premium-quality patio doors, designed not only to complement your home’s architecture, but to perform beautifully for years to come. Whether you prefer classic French doors, sleek sliding doors, space-saving bi-folds, or want a system that ties into your existing OMNIA windows, there’s a perfect patio solution for you.

    All our patio doors come in high-performance uPVC or sleek aluminium finishes, with A-rated thermal performance, top-tier security, and designs that blend effortlessly into any home style.

    Let’s take a closer look at your options, so you can choose the right one for how you live.

     

    What to look for in patio doors

    When choosing a patio door, think beyond the glass. You’re also choosing:

    • How your indoor and outdoor spaces connect
    • How much light flows into your living space
    • What type of operation works for your lifestyle (glide, swing, fold)
    • Which materials and finishes complement the rest of your windows and doors

    You’ll also want to consider:

    • Security: multi-point locks, internal glazing, durable materials
    • Energy efficiency: A-rated glazing, weather-sealed frames
    • Ease of use: effortless operation and low-maintenance design

    At Fairco, every door—regardless of style—is built to the same high standards: robust construction, PAS 24-certified hardware, and long-lasting beauty.

     

    French Doors: classic charm & timeless design

    Best for: Traditional homes, symmetrical designs, formal gardens

    French doors are the epitome of elegance. They offer a double-door opening with doors that swing outward or inward, providing a beautifully framed view and excellent ventilation.

    Perfect for period-style or redbrick homes, French doors are a natural fit for properties where maintaining a traditional architectural style is key. They’re also a favourite in smaller homes or extensions where bi-folding doors might not suit the space.

    With Fairco’s French doors, you get:

    • Slim sightlines to maximise light
    • Optional Georgian bar or heritage detailing
    • High-security multi-point locks and Yale hardware
    • Available in uPVC or aluminium, and colour-matched to existing windows—including the OMNIA range

    View our full French door selection here.

     

    Sliding patio doors: light, views & space efficiency

    Best for: Modern homes, tight spaces, uninterrupted views

    Sliding patio doors are all about maximising light and space. With one or more large panels that glide horizontally, they allow for wide openings without encroaching on your floor space.

    They’re ideal for open-plan kitchens, garden rooms, or rear extensions where you want to preserve the view, let in light, and maintain a clean, contemporary finish.

    Fairco sliding doors offer:

    • Ultra-slim aluminium or uPVC frames
    • Smooth glide operation and minimal maintenance
    • A++ energy-rated glazing for year-round comfort
    • Multiple panel configurations, perfect for large openings

    They pair beautifully with minimalist interiors and work seamlessly with OMNIA’s slimline window styling.

    View our full sliding door selection here.

     

    Bi-Fold doors: the ultimate indoor-outdoor flow

    Best for: Entertaining spaces, open-plan living, large garden access

    Bi-fold doors bring a wow factor. Designed to fold and stack neatly to one or both sides, they open up your wall almost entirely—blurring the line between indoors and out.

    Whether you’re hosting summer garden parties or simply want to enjoy unbroken views, bi-folding doors offer unmatched flexibility and drama.

    Fairco bi-folds feature:

    • Strong, lightweight aluminium frames
    • Double or triple glazing for efficiency and noise reduction
    • Weather-sealed tracks to guard against the elements
    • Colour options to match the rest of your windows and doors

    They’re particularly striking when paired with large kitchen-living extensions, and can even be specified to match your OMNIA windows for a unified look.

    View our full bi-folding range here.

     

    OMNIA Flush by Fairco: flush Style, perfect match

    Best for: Cohesive design across all windows and doors

    If you’ve already upgraded your home with OMNIA by Fairco, or you’re starting fresh with a full home improvement project, choosing OMNIA French or residential doors ensures everything ties together in one seamless design.

    OMNIA doors feature:

    • A flush sash appearance inside and out
    • A wide selection of colours and textured finishes, including Feinstruktur foils
    • A U-value as low as 0.79, exceeding 2025 energy efficiency standards

    They’re perfect for homeowners who want style, performance, and consistency—all from one trusted system.

    Why Fairco’s high-quality windows and doors go beyond industry standards

    27th February 2025 by The Fairco Team

    When it comes to building or renovating a home, it’s easy to focus on the big-ticket items—kitchens, flooring, or furniture—but it’s your windows and doors that do some of the hardest work in the background. They don’t just frame the view—they protect your home, regulate your energy use, keep out noise, and form the barrier between comfort and the outside world.

    Investing in high-quality windows and doors is not just about aesthetics—it’s about security, longevity, and cost-efficiency. In Ireland’s unpredictable climate, poorly made or underperforming products can cost you more in the long run—through heat loss, maintenance, or even security concerns. That’s why at Fairco, we’ve spent decades perfecting our products to outperform standard windows and doors in every category.

     

    Materials and craftsmanship you can rely on

    At the heart of every Fairco product is a commitment to materials that last. We use durable uPVC, aluminium, composite, and Accoya timber—each selected for its specific benefits. Our components are precision-engineered to resist warping, swelling, or cracking—ensuring smooth operation and structural integrity year after year.

    For homeowners looking for timber aesthetics without the maintenance, our Accoya timber doors offer exceptional performance in all conditions. They’re built to withstand the harshest Irish weather while remaining dimensionally stable, secure, and highly energy efficient.

     

    Security That Goes Beyond Standards

    Your front door is your first line of defence, and your windows are critical to keeping your home secure. Fairco takes this responsibility seriously. Every window and door we produce is fitted with Yale burglar-resistant locks, engineered to protect against forced entry and backed by Yale’s own security guarantee.

    But it’s not just about locks. Every component in a Fairco window or door is independently certified to PAS 24:2022—a benchmark for security in domestic properties. While standard windows and doors are tested to withstand the force a single person might apply, Fairco windows exceed this by six times, and our doors by four times. That means they can resist far more than just a casual attempt at intrusion—they’re designed to hold strong under extreme conditions.

    Our glass, sourced from VEKA plc, is part of the only full product range in the UK and Ireland certified to PAS 24:2022 for both double and triple glazing. This sets a new gold standard in home security—and Fairco is proud to be among the first to bring it to Irish homeowners.

     

    Designed for Everyday Performance

    While security is a priority, so is daily comfort. Fairco products are built to be used, loved, and relied upon—every single day. Our windows and doors close with a reassuring seal, thanks to multi-point locking systems that offer maximum contact and weather resistance. This design doesn’t just keep intruders out—it keeps wind, rain, and cold out too.

    Energy efficiency is another cornerstone of our designs. All Fairco products are A++ rated, and fully BFRC performance proven. Our windows and doors eliminate draughts and keep warmth in, reducing energy bills over time. Whether you live in a detached suburban home, a period redbrick, or a city apartment, our products are engineered to improve your comfort and reduce your energy footprint.

    A Seamless Blend of Strength and Style

    You don’t have to sacrifice good looks for strong performance. Our hardware is selected not only for durability, but for design harmony. Whether you’re installing contemporary aluminium frames, traditional sash windows, or a bold composite front door, your locks, handles, and hinges are designed to match the finish and elevate the overall look.

    Fairco also offers optional heritage-style hardware for period homes, and colour-matched options that complement both exterior and interior palettes. From internally beaded glazing to our double rebate door seals, every detail is considered—not just for performance, but for how it contributes to your home’s style and identity.
