Introduction: The Door That Feels Like a Welcome
Some doors greet you politely — but the Solidor Palermo, available through GFD Homes, feels like a warm Italian welcome. Inspired by timeless Italian architecture, the Palermo blends Mediterranean charm with crisp modern detailing. Its sculpted lines and striking glazed options create a front door that looks just as at home on a Yorkshire townhouse as on a sun-drenched villa. More than a door, it’s an expression of hospitality, heritage, and contemporary design.
The Solidor Palermo — Classic Design, Modern Energy
Part of the Italia Collection, the Palermo captures everything that makes Italian design so admired: balance, proportion, and a touch of artistry. It’s one of the most adaptable models in the range — available in multiple glazing layouts and configurations to suit different tastes and property styles.
Design DNA:
- Vertical glazed apertures framed by strong linear geometry.
- Available as Palermo 1, Palermo 2, or Palermo Solid.
- Ideal for homeowners seeking a perfect blend of warmth and precision.
Where the Modena and Milano are minimal, the Palermo is expressive — confident, welcoming, and deeply characterful.
Palermo 1 — Light with Italian Grace
From £979 inc VAT
The Palermo 1 introduces a single vertical glazed section running gracefully through the door’s height — a design that evokes modern Mediterranean architecture.
Why it’s loved:
- Adds natural light while keeping symmetry.
- Creates visual height and elegance.
- Pairs beautifully with stainless steel or brushed graphite hardware.
Choose from frosted, satin, or clear glass depending on your privacy preference — every version feels sophisticated.
Palermo 2 — Symmetry and Strength
From £1,014 inc VAT
The Palermo 2 offers a perfectly balanced design with dual vertical glazed panels — one on each side. It’s sleek, modern, and ideal for wider entrances or contemporary façades.
Ideal for:
- Detached homes with symmetrical architecture.
- Properties with glass panels or large entryways.
- Homeowners seeking modern balance and light.
It’s a door that looks just as good at night under warm exterior lighting as it does in natural daylight.
Palermo Solid — Statement Simplicity
From £807 inc VAT
The Palermo Solid is the purest version of the design — bold, unbroken, and perfectly proportioned. It’s all about tone, texture, and finish — ideal for homeowners who love clean architectural forms with no glazing.
Best for:
- City homes and privacy-conscious properties.
- Modern or minimalist exteriors.
- Those who love the tactile appeal of craftsmanship.
Made to Measure — True Bespoke Craftsmanship

Why that matters:

It’s the difference between a tailored suit and something off the peg — the Palermo deserves nothing less.
