Introduction: The Door That Defines Timeless Elegance
If you’ve been exploring the Solidor range, you’ve probably already come across the Ludlow — one of the most popular and versatile designs in the entire collection.
And it’s no surprise why.
With its classic symmetry, subtle detailing, and the option of either solid or glazed panels, the Ludlow manages to look right at home whether it’s installed in a country cottage or a sleek new townhouse.
In this guide, we take a closer look at the Ludlow family: the Ludlow Solid, Ludlow 2, Stable Door, and French Door options.
You’ll learn how each variation fits different properties, what personalisation options are available, and — of course — why Solidor remains the benchmark composite door on the market.
The Solidor Ludlow at a Glance
The Ludlow is the epitome of understated British design — a door that takes inspiration from Georgian proportions, but adds a clean, modern twist.
- Two-Panel Layout: The trademark twin-panel design gives it structure and balance.
- Raised Mouldings: Add depth and shadow for visual appeal.
- Versatile Personality: Dress it up with decorative glazing, or go solid for quiet sophistication.
It’s a style that feels reassuringly familiar — a proper door, built for real homes.
Ludlow Solid — Quiet Confidence
From £807 inc VAT
For homeowners who love traditional styling but prefer privacy and strength, the Ludlow Solid is the perfect choice.
With no glazing panels, it offers a sleek, secure appearance that looks at home on period terraces, townhouses, and cottages alike.
Best suited for:
- Properties where privacy is a priority.
- Front doors facing busy streets.
- Homes that need maximum insulation and acoustic protection.
The solid slab makes a subtle statement — elegant, confident, and timeless.
Ludlow 2 — Classic with a Glazed Twist
From £874 inc VAT
The Ludlow 2 takes the same elegant framework and introduces twin glazed panels to brighten your hallway and add visual lift to the façade.
Why homeowners love it:
- Lets natural light flow through the entrance.
- Pairs beautifully with leaded, etched, or bevelled glass options.
- Adds personality while retaining traditional proportions.
You can customise the glass style — from classic Victorian Bevels to ultra-modern Satin or Clear — to match your home’s architecture.
The Ludlow Stable Door — Functional Charm
Yes, the Ludlow is available as a stable door, and it’s every bit as charming as it sounds.
The split-opening top and bottom sections make it ideal for:
- Country cottages or farmhouse renovations.
- Kitchens that open to gardens or patios.
- Families with pets or children who need ventilation and safety.
Stable versions retain the same sturdy Solidor core and sealing system, ensuring no compromise on energy efficiency or security.
The Ludlow French Door — Elegant Symmetry
Prefer double doors that open wide? The Ludlow can also be configured as a French door set, bringing classic Georgian style to a more expansive opening.
Perfect for:
- Rear or side entrances to gardens.
- Period homes with symmetrical façades.
- Extensions where matching design across front and back matters.
The dual-panel Ludlow design translates beautifully into French format, maintaining proportion and charm while offering convenience and space.
Why the Solidor Ludlow Works in Any Setting
The Ludlow design has something very few doors manage — balance.
It feels grounded enough for traditional builds yet sleek enough for modern renovations.
Ideal matches include:
- Red-brick Georgian terraces.
- Victorian semis with character detailing.
- Farmhouses and cottages.
- Modern suburban builds seeking a timeless focal point.
And with Solidor’s broad colour palette — from Anthracite Grey and Black Ash to Cream, Painswick, and Duck Egg Blue — you can tailor the mood to your home’s personality.
Solidor Ludlow – Glazing, Colour, and Hardware Options
Glazing: Choose from clear, decorative, frosted, or bevelled designs. Each glass type changes the door’s character — modern, vintage, or minimalist.
Colours: Over 50 shades, all UV-stable and factory-finished for lasting vibrancy.
Hardware: Match your door with traditional handles, contemporary bars, or classic knockers in finishes like chrome, brushed steel, or antique black.
Every option is made to order, so you’ll never see a neighbour with the exact same setup.
