Introduction: The Solidor Tenby — Effortless Charm for Every Home

If you imagine the perfect British front door, chances are you’re picturing something that looks a lot like the Solidor Tenby. Balanced, timeless, and full of quiet character, it’s one of the most popular designs in the Solidor collection.

From coastal cottages to contemporary new builds, the Solidor Tenby brings warmth, light, and strength in equal measure. Available in Tenby Solid, Tenby 2, and Tenby 4, as well as Stable and French Door variations, there’s a version to suit every style of home.

In this guide, we’ll take a closer look at what makes the Solidor Tenby a true all-rounder — and why homeowners across the UK trust GFD Homes for quality, transparency, and expert service.

The Solidor Tenby — The Quintessential All-Rounder

The Tenby design sits comfortably in that rare sweet spot between traditional and contemporary.

It’s inspired by coastal cottages, but its clean lines and symmetrical glazing mean it fits effortlessly into everything from period properties to new builds.

Design highlights:

  • Graceful vertical panel layout.
  • Elegant proportions that work for both narrow and wide door apertures.
  • Multiple glazing options for flexibility in light and privacy.

The result? A door that looks equally at home fronting a Victorian terrace, a countryside retreat, or a modern townhouse.

Tenby Solid — Quiet Strength and Elegance

From £807 inc VAT

GFD Homes

The Tenby Solid delivers classic style without the need for glazing. Its panel detailing gives a premium, structured look while offering complete privacy.

Ideal for:

  • Street-facing entrances or high-traffic areas.
  • Customers prioritising insulation and noise reduction.
  • Homes seeking that traditional “statement” look.

The lack of glass doesn’t make it plain — it makes it quietly confident.

Tenby 2 — Letting the Light In

From £883 inc VAT

GFD Homes

With twin glazed panels, the Tenby 2 version adds a welcome splash of daylight into the hallway without compromising privacy.

The two glazed apertures sit neatly in the upper section, balancing form and function beautifully.

You can choose decorative glass for a traditional cottage vibe or plain clear glass for a minimalist aesthetic.

Perfect for:

  • Hallways that need extra light.
  • Cottages and suburban homes alike.
  • Customers who love timeless geometry with a touch of sparkle.

Solidor Tenby 4 — The Brightest Star in the Line-Up

From £897 inc VAT

GFD Homes

If you want maximum natural light, the Tenby 4 is your go-to. Four beautifully aligned glazed panels transform a classic door into a showpiece that feels bright, open, and welcoming.

Why it works:

  • Excellent for darker porches or narrow entrances.
  • Decorative glass adds flair and privacy.
  • Creates a warm, inviting glow even on cloudy days.

Whether it’s clear, frosted, or patterned glass, the Tenby 4 makes a lasting first impression — it’s a true balance of beauty and practicality.

The Tenby Stable Door — Rustic Functionality with Style

Who says practicality can’t be beautiful?

The Tenby Stable Door combines the door’s signature panel layout with split-opening versatility — ideal for family homes and country living.

  • Top section opens independently for ventilation.
  • Keep pets and children safe while letting air and light in.
  • Fully weather-sealed, thermally efficient, and PAS24 certified for security.

This configuration turns the Tenby into a truly multi-purpose option — blending traditional looks with modern convenience.

The Tenby French Door — A Classic Doubled

For wider openings or symmetrical façades, the Tenby French Door delivers elegance and practicality in equal measure.

Each side mirrors the other — perfect for garden access or side entrances where style consistency matters.

It’s especially popular in:

  • Period homes wanting heritage-style rear doors.
  • Extensions that balance light and ventilation.
  • Homeowners who want the traditional panel look with full-door symmetry.

Where the Tenby Truly Shines

The Tenby’s charm is its chameleon-like adaptability. It fits almost anywhere, and every variation brings something different to the table.

Best settings include:

  • Cottages and coastal properties: The classic panel design echoes traditional craftsmanship.
  • Townhouses: Its symmetry complements formal façades.
  • New builds: Offers character without looking out of place.

Pairing it with lighter tones such as Cream, Painswick, or French Grey enhances its heritage vibe, while bolder hues like Anthracite or Black Ash give it urban sophistication.
