A door that suits your home
One of the pleasures of choosing a composite door is the sheer range available. The Solidor collection runs from classic to contemporary, with many of the doors working across all styles.
If your home is traditional, a period terrace, a stone cottage, or a red-brick semi, the Traditional Collection will feel exactly right.
Across all collections, the colour choice is exceptional. There are over 30 colours available, from the elegant Painswick and Chartwell Green to the bolder Copper Flame and Tangerine. Woodgrain foils in Golden Oak, Irish Oak, and Rosewood give you all the warmth of timber without any of the upkeep.
Frame colours are available to match or coordinate, giving the whole entrance a properly finished look.
Traditional Composite Doors
If your home is a period terrace, a stone cottage, or a red-brick semi, the Traditional Collection is worth a close look.
These are classic designs updated for modern living, and they sit as comfortably on a Victorian street as they do on a newer build with traditional proportions.
The Ludlow is Solidor's most popular style, and it's easy to see why. It has the kind of balanced, well-considered look that works across a wide range of properties. Rich heritage colours suit it well. Ruby Red, Midnight Grey, and Peacock Blue all look striking, while the woodgrain foils in Golden Oak or Irish Oak bring warmth to stone and brick frontages. The glazed panels can be tailored to let in as much or as little light as you want, with options ranging from traditional leaded designs to something more contemporary.
The Flint Collection takes its lead from the British countryside. The vertical panel effect gives it a distinctly rural character, and it's become a popular choice for cottages, farmhouses, and older rural properties. It works beautifully as a stable door, which suits homes where the back door opens onto a garden or courtyard. In Cream, Truffle Brown, or Golden Oak, it looks like it belongs.
Both collections are available in the full range of colours, glazing styles, and hardware options, so the finished door can feel like it was always meant to be there.
Solidor Contemporary Doors
If your home has clean lines, large windows, or a more architectural feel, the Italia Collection is designed with exactly that in mind. These are doors that make a considered statement. Well-designed, well-made, and suited to the way contemporary homes look and feel.
The Palermo is the standout choice for modern properties. It has a solid, unfussy face with horizontal detailing and a long bar handle that runs almost the full height of the door. In Painswick, Anthracite Grey, or Foiled White, it looks quietly confident. In Golden Oak, it brings warmth to a more minimal exterior.
The Milano features offset modernist glazing and a textured grain finish. It works particularly well on rendered or timber-clad properties where the door needs to hold its own against stronger architectural elements.
The Brescia and Parma styles offer glazing panels that add light without disrupting the clean geometry of a contemporary entrance.

Solidor Security with Ultion Locks
The best security is the kind you don't have to think about. A Solidor composite door is built around a reinforced door frame and a multi-point locking system as standard. The Ultion cylinder lock, which comes with a £5,000 security guarantee against snapping, is one of the most trusted in the industry.
If you want to take things further, the Winkhaus AV4 Autolock is an elegant solution. The door locks automatically as it closes. There's no need to lift the handle or remember to double-lock. It simply does it for you.
An optional daytime latch keeps things easy when you're coming and going, and unlocking is straightforward with a key or thumbturn.
Smart lock integration is also available through the NUKI system, giving you remote access control via your phone, compatibility with Amazon Alexa, Apple HomeKit, and Google Home, and the option to set the door to lock automatically when you leave the house.
All Solidor doors carry Secured by Design accreditation, the official police security initiative. It's the kind of reassurance that gives you peace of mind.
Solidor Hardware and Glazing
A door is only as good as its finishing. Hardware choices, glazing styles, and door furniture all contribute to how a door reads from the street and how it feels to use every day.
The Solidor accessory range covers three distinct hardware families. The Heritage Ironmongery collection, with Monkey Tail handles, Teardrop knockers, and handmade rings in black or pewter, is a natural fit for period properties and rural homes. The Modern Range offers more familiar lever handles, door knobs, and classic knockers in chrome, brushed steel, gold, or black. The Contemporary Range suits the cleaner lines of the Italia collection, with bar handles up to 1800mm and a refined minimalist finish.
Glazing is where the real personalisation begins. There are dozens of options, from the traditionally leaded to the boldly decorative. The Solidor Exclusive Artistic Glass range, Fairmont, Paramount, Wiltern, and Tate, is unique to the brand and designed specifically for homes where privacy matters as much as light. Integrated blinds are available for those who want the option of complete privacy without anything on the glass itself.
Side panels and top boxes allow you to complete a wide entrance elegantly, adding light and visual proportion to the whole doorway rather than just the door.
What is the difference between a composite door and a uPVC door?
A uPVC door has a hollow plastic frame filled with reinforcing. It does a reasonable job, and plenty of homes have them. A composite door is built differently. The core is solid timber, which gives it a weight and rigidity that a uPVC door simply cannot match. That solidity is what you notice when you close it. It feels substantial in a way that reflects well on the whole house.
The outer skin on a composite door is also more durable, more scratch-resistant, and far better at holding its colour over time. The woodgrain effect looks closer to real timber, and the overall finish is a step up in quality. For homeowners who want a front door that genuinely improves the look of their property, composite is worth the investment.
From the outside, a composite door is designed to look good as well as perform. Many have realistic woodgrain finishes or clean contemporary styles, so you can choose something that suits your home without taking on the upkeep of traditional timber.
For most homeowners, it comes down to three things. You get better security from a strong, reinforced structure. You get improved energy efficiency thanks to the insulated core. And you get a door that keeps its appearance with very little maintenance over time.
How much does a Solidor composite door cost?
Composite doors represent a meaningful investment compared to a standard uPVC door, and the price varies depending on the style, colour, glazing, and hardware you choose. As a starting point, most homeowners budget from £1,500 and above fully fitted, though more complex configurations or wider entrance sets will sit higher than that.
The better question is often about value over time. A well-made composite door, properly installed, will last for decades with very little maintenance. The security, the thermal performance, and the kerb appeal it adds to your home all factor into that equation.
