What makes a Solidor?

What makes a Solidor different is the core of the door itself. A standard composite door will typically be foam-filled with a timber sub frame. The Solidor features a 48mm solid hardwood core, which gives the door a little more of a ‘solid’ feel that many customers look for.

And if you’re worried about the usual pitfalls of a timber door don’t be – a Solidor is impervious to warping and swelling, as the timber core is never exposed to the elements.

Every Solidor boasts an impressive 10 year product guarantee, which covers both the door itself and the locking mechanism.

All glass is guaranteed for 10 years, and the hardware carries a 5 year guarantee. We find that a good clean once a month with some warm water and washing up liquid will keep the furniture looking brand new for many years.

If you go for an installation option as recommended by Composite Door Prices this will also come with a separate 5 year installation guarantee.

Solidor take great pride in their green credentials, and have always taken steps to pioneer planet friendly products and manufacturing methods. They run an extensive recycling program, and use 100% lead free materials. All of the timbers used in the doors are harvested from managed forests, and they are also involved in the Ripple Africa tree plantation scheme.

The majority of composite doors don’t get recycled, but Solidor’s do which has a big impact on our carbon footprint. The factory process involves daily recycling of off-cuts and waste, and some timber off-cuts even end up as candle holders and fruit-bowls! In addition Solidor strongly support the Ripple Africa tree plantation program, and encourage customers and suppliers to get involved as well.
