Introduction: Classic Symmetry, Modern Craft
The Solidor Ancona is where Italian design philosophy meets British engineering excellence. It’s refined yet robust — a door that’s as much about proportion as it is about performance.
Part of the renowned Solidor Italia Collection, the Ancona captures the timeless beauty of symmetry, pairing twin glazed or solid panels with perfectly balanced detailing. Whether it’s fitted to a Georgian townhouse or a minimalist new build, it always feels right — effortlessly elegant, beautifully built, and unmistakably Solidor.
The Solidor Ancona — Italian Proportion, British Craft
Part of the Italia Collection, the Ancona is inspired by the architectural principles of balance and proportion — two glazed apertures aligned vertically to create harmony and structure.
Design DNA:
- Twin vertical glazing panels for symmetry.
- Flush surface detailing for clean modern lines.
- Available as glazed or solid depending on preference.
It’s simple. It’s elegant. It’s timeless.
