Solidor Door Efficiency: U Values<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
U-values measure thermal efficiency, with lower numbers indicating better insulation. Our Solidor doors excel with U-values from 1.1 to 1.5 W\/m\u00b2K, depending on the glazing and model. This performance can help cut energy costs and keep your home comfortable year-round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These energy benefits come from Solidors innovative design:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Solid Timber Core<\/strong>: Unlike foam-filled doors, Solidor\u2019s laminated timber core boosts insulation and security.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- High-density Foam<\/strong>: Adds insulation around the core.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Durable ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) Skin<\/strong>: This layer protects against weather and enhances insulation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Efficient Glazing<\/strong>: Options that complement Solidor\u2019s thermal efficiency.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Exceptional Security: Solidor Locking System<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
At GFD Homes, we know security is a priority. Solidor doors feature multi-point locking systems with components like 3 hook bolts, anti-lift bolts, shoot bolts (for French doors), and a secure deadbolt. Plus, each door includes the 3-Star Ultion cylinder lock, which comes with a \u00a35,000 break-in guarantee, adding peace of mind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
These robust locking mechanisms contribute significantly to Solidor’s excellent security ratings and a large number of Solidor door reviews specifically highlight the sense of security and peace of mind that these advanced locking systems provide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solidor Threshold Options for Practicality and Accessibility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Threshold options impact weatherproofing and accessibility. Solidor offers several threshold options to meet different needs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

- Wheelchair-friendly Threshold<\/strong>: Compliant with Part M building regulations, this option ensures easy access for wheelchair users or those with mobility issues. It maintains a weather-tight seal while providing a smooth transition from outside to inside.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
When choosing your threshold, consider factors like foot traffic, local weather, and any special access needs when selecting your threshold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
