Introduction: The Solidor Flint — Cottage Charm, Engineered for Today
If any door captures the heart of the British countryside, it’s the Solidor Flint. From cosy cottages to barn conversions, this range feels instantly “right” — warm, authentic, and beautifully balanced.
With styles from Flint Solid to Flint 5, every model combines the look of traditional timber with the performance of a modern composite door. It’s heritage character without the maintenance headaches.
Whether you want rustic privacy or soft, light-filled glazing, the Solidor Flint family offers a style for every home — crafted with care and built to last.
Let’s take a closer look at what makes the Solidor Flint such a classic.
The Solidor Flint — Rustic Roots, Modern Reinvention
The Flint range takes inspiration from traditional timber plank doors — the kind you’d find on cottages, farmhouses, or heritage homes.
But instead of timber’s maintenance headaches, you get Solidor’s precision-engineered composite structure: strong, thermally efficient, and built to last.
Design traits:
- Vertical plank detailing for an authentic, hand-crafted appearance.
- Deep panel lines for texture and shadow.
- Subtle curve or rectangular glazing (depending on variant).
It’s the very definition of “heritage meets innovation.”
Flint Solid — Authentic and Private

- Entrances exposed to weather where glass might be vulnerable.
It’s traditional craftsmanship reimagined for 21st-century living.
