Composite Doors
in Edinburgh

Edinburgh boasts one of the UK’s most distinctive property landscapes, featuring everything from Georgian townhouses and Victorian terraces in the New Town and Marchmont, to traditional stone-built tenements in Leith and Gorgie, 1930s bay-fronted homes in Corstorphine and Blackhall, and modern apartments and family developments around the Waterfront, Granton and South Queensferry.

Nearby areas such as Musselburgh and Portobello add period villas, coastal homes and contemporary housing developments, creating a diverse mix of architectural styles across the region.

Historically, homeowners have chosen timber doors to complement Edinburgh’s heritage properties, while uPVC became popular for affordability and aluminium for contemporary designs.

Today, composite doors have become the preferred choice across Edinburgh because they combine the traditional appearance of timber with superior thermal efficiency, excellent security and minimal maintenance. This makes them particularly well suited to Scotland’s climate, where weather resistance and energy performance play an important role throughout the year.

Every Solidor composite door is manufactured with a solid timber core, advanced multi-point locking systems and excellent insulating properties. With a wide range of colours, glazing designs and hardware finishes available, you can create an entrance that complements everything from historic sandstone properties and Georgian façades to modern apartments and newly built family homes.

By choosing Solidor, you’re choosing a door that’s built to last, beautifully made, and tailored to the way you live.

While composite doors typically cost more than standard uPVC, they compare favourably with solid timber and high-end aluminium options often used throughout Edinburgh’s period and contemporary homes.

With excellent insulating performance, impressive durability and minimal maintenance, a fully fitted composite door offers strong long-term value, particularly in a city where energy efficiency and all-weather performance are essential.

For composite doors in Edinburgh, prices typically range from £1,000 to £3,000 for a new front door. When installation is included, and also accounting for property style and access across busy Edinburgh neighbourhoods, the average cost usually falls between £1,500 and £2,500.
