Why Choose Solidor?

Home > Why Choose Solidor?

Put simply, Solidor make the very finest composite doors in the market today, packed with exclusive features that aren’t available on any other composite door.

Unique colours, the latest high security hardware and beautiful features are just some of the reasons why high quality installation companies offer our products, while homeowners demand them. We continue to invest in new materials and in a product development programme to ensure we stay ahead of the pack.

We also offer the market’s most comprehensive environmental policy; we’ve called it our ‘Green Promise’. Wherever you are in the UK, there’s a Solidor installer that can help transform your front door into a stylish and stunning entrance to your home. Solidor, ask for it by name.

Timber Core

The Solidor slab is the result of many years development and contains different layers of carefully selected wood. The outer timbers are more dense, ensuring rigidity, quality and providing a tough shell. The timber used in the heart of the door performs in a different way, acting as an insulating material that provides excellent thermal efficiency.

This is all wrapped in a weather resistant PVC outer skin. As a result of this combination, the door is robust, extremely secure and it looks absolutely amazing.

Cylinder

The cylinder is the interface between you and the door. In recent years there has been a trend for intruders to attack the cylinder, as it had been a potential weak point. Not so with the Solidor!

Every Solidor is fitted with an Ultion cylinder, a revolutionary cylinder that, in the event of an attack, goes into 'lock-down' mode, ensuring that your property remains protected.

ABS Skin

The outer layer of a Solidor is made from a 1.7mm PVC skin. This is the same stuff that Lego is made from (and you know how tough that is!)

Every Solidor skin is made with Thru-Colour™ Technology. This means that the skin is made entirely from one colour and is not simply a blank white sheet that has been painted. No white scratch marks on a Solidor.

Locking Mechanism

Security is just as important as style whenever you buy a Solidor. As a result we use only the best, most reliable hardware. From our Avantis multi-point hook lock, to the Winkhaus Automatic Heritage mechanism, we make sure that your door performs as well as it looks.

Unique Security Hinge

When it came to selecting the type of hinge that we hung our door on we really struggled. We just couldn’t find one that performed the way that we wanted.

In the end, we decided to design our own! It allows for adjustment, is robust and durable and also great looking!

Energy Efficient, Secure Glass

No matter what style of door you choose, we have the perfect glass option to go with it. Our complete range of double & triple glazed units are Argon filled, use Warmedge spacers, and have a Low E coating. This maximises energy efficiency by enabling the door to deflect cold and retain warm air.
