A guide to year-round comfort with Solidor front doors

July 10th 2024

With temperatures warming as we officially step into summer, many of us will be left with the dilemma of how to cool our homes while keeping secure and reaping the benefits of summer.

This is where doors can help.

Solidor’s 44mm solid timber core with 2mm ABS skins are not only incredibly durable but they also provide unrivalled insulating benefits, keeping your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer.

 

The benefits of natural light

Soaking up sunlight can give you a much-needed energy boost, improve your mood, and help your body function at its best. With sunny days in the UK limited, you can maximise your exposure by letting natural light into your home.

Solidor’s range of door styles and side panels lets you control exactly how much glazing you want for your front door.

Our Edinburgh door style provides an elegant, statement look, with two elongated glass panels that will bathe your home in natural light while still ensuring the privacy your front door needs. Elevate this even more by adding glazed side panels.

 

Summer front door colours

Another way to bring the dopamine-boosting benefits of the sun into your home is with bright, vibrant colours. With a wide range of internal door colours to choose from, you can ensure your new front door brings the ‘wow’ factor to your interior style while brightening your day.

The colour you choose for your front door can also boost the insulating properties it brings to your home, with lighter colours reflecting the heat of the sun, or darker colours absorbing the heat. Keeping in mind which direction your home faces when choosing the design you want can help ensure every aspect of your door works for your home.

 

Stable doors for ventilation

Give your home a breath of fresh air while keeping pets and small children safe with a stable door. This ideal solution for the back entrance of your home allows you to open the top half of the door for ventilation while keeping the bottom half closed and secure. This option gives you the versatility needed to keep up with the demands of rapidly changing weather, without having to compromise on the durability of your door.

 

The Solidor guarantee

As all Solidors are fitted by an approved Solidor installer, every one of our doors meets the requirements to keep your home draught-free, insulated, and secure, whatever the weather throws at it.
