Low Maintenance But High Impact: The Beauty of Composite Driveway Gates

Keen to protect your property and driveway, but don’t want to compromise on style?

 

Composite gates offer a winning combination: strength and attractiveness. At Secured Style Gates, these types of gates are just one of the varieties of electric and manual gates we offer. All our designs blend craftsmanship with practicality, making them ideal for homes and businesses across Yorkshire and beyond.

Composite materials have transformed the industry by offering a durable, low-maintenance alternative to traditional timber. If you’re tired of sanding, staining or repainting your gates year after year, it’s time to consider a different approach. 

 

What Are Composite Materials for Gates?

Composite gates are made from a blend of recycled wood fibres and plastic polymers, offering the warm appearance of wood without the maintenance. Unlike natural timber, composite doesn’t warp, rot, splinter, or fade. Ideal for driveways, it’s a material built for real life: tough and weather-resistant.

 

At Secured Style Gates, our composite gates can be tailored to any specification. Whether you’re looking for a sleek modern design or a more traditional look, it gives you the flexibility to achieve your vision, without sacrificing durability.

 

A Low-Maintenance Choice

One of the most common complaints about wooden gates is the upkeep. Between the unpredictable British weather, general wear and tear, and the natural ageing process of timber, maintenance can quickly become a time-consuming chore.

 

With our composite driveway gates, those problems disappear.

 

Minimal Upkeep, Maximum Lifespan

Composite materials are specifically engineered to withstand harsh weather, UV rays, and moisture. This means you will enjoy:

• No repainting or re-staining
• No cracking or splitting
• No rust or corrosion

An occasional wash with warm soapy water is all that’s needed to keep your gate looking brand new. 

 

Stylish by Design

Just because composite is low-maintenance doesn’t mean it lacks style. Quite the opposite. 

 

Our composite driveway gates come in a wide range of finishes, colours, and styles of panel to suit both contemporary and period properties. Whether you’re after a clean grey tone, a rich woodgrain effect, or a custom colour to match your fencing, we can deliver a design that complements your surroundings.

 

 

Better still, composite can be combined with iron, aluminium or steel frames to create visually striking looks. The result is a gate that feels both modern and timeless.

 

Add Automation for the Ultimate Convenience

If you’re opting for a new gate, it’s worth considering an automated design. When they operate electrically, composite gates provide an extra layer of security and ease. 

 

With just a click of a button, you can control access without stepping out of your vehicle, especially handy during rainy Yorkshire mornings.

 

At Secured Style Gates, we offer options for both swing and sliding gates, coming complete with remote systems, keypads, and intercoms. All our installations are bespoke, ensuring they reflect your lifestyle and the layout of your property. 

 

Built to Withstand the British Weather

 

From heavy rain to frost and heatwaves, the weather in the UK is more unforgiving than ever. Where wooden gates expand, contract, and degrade under pressure, composite holds its shape and finish throughout the seasons.

 

All of our composite driveway gates are powder-coated by default, creating a protective outer layer that resists chipping, rust and discolouration. This treatment ensures longevity and keeps your gate looking as good as the day it was installed: year after year.

 

Environmentally Friendly and Sustainable

Sustainability matters more than ever. Our composite gates are made from recycled materials, making them a fantastic alternative to hardwoods. By choosing composite, you’re helping reduce landfill waste and promoting the use of renewable resources, without compromising on their appearance.

 

Unlike treated timber, composite doesn’t require harmful chemicals to preserve its strength, making it a safer, greener choice for your home and the environment.
