Our Entrance Door Range
The most secure front door is one tested to PAS 24 and, ideally, approved under the police-backed Secured by Design scheme, because those standards test the whole door including the frame, locks and glazing.
In our range, Solidor composite doors have a solid timber core with Secured by Design approved options, and Origin aluminium doors are PAS 24 certified with multi-point locking.
A door is only as secure as its fitting, so our own installation teams survey and fit every entrance door we supply.
A composite front door suits most homes looking for a traditional or cottage style at a sensible price, while an aluminium front door suits contemporary homes where slim frames and a crisp finish matter more.
Composite doors pair a strong core with a weatherproof skin that resists fading, and aluminium doors are powder-coated in a wide range of colours that hold for decades.
Both are low maintenance and both meet current Building Regulations, so the decision usually comes down to the look you want, which is easiest to judge in person at our Peterborough showroom.
A well-made composite door that is fitted properly will commonly last 30 years or more, without the sanding and repainting a timber door needs to stay in good condition.
How long a composite door lasts depends a lot on what sits inside it, and Solidor's solid timber core gives a stiffer, stronger door than the foam-filled cores used in many cheaper composite doors.
The fade-resistant outer skin means the colour holds up over the years too, so the door still looks right long after it is fitted.
