Solid Core, Not Hollow
A 44mm solid laminated timber core, not a hollow shell filled with foam. It shuts with a thud, not a rattle.
44mm solid core



Ultimate Home Solutions supplies and fits new composite front doors across Airdrie, from the Victorian sandstone around Clarkston and the town centre to the inter-war semis at Cairnhill and the estates at Holehills, Petersburn and Drumgelloch. Airdrie sits high and open, which is hard on a front door: a hollow slab flexes, the seals give up and the draught comes through the letterplate. A composite door has a solid timber core with a weatherproof skin, and it is measured to your opening, hung by trusted installers inside a working day, with all workmanship guaranteed.
A composite door is a solid timber core, a weatherproof GRP skin and a multi-point lock, and the three work together. The core keeps it rigid so it does not flex in a gale, the skin takes the rain without swelling or needing painted, and the lock pulls the whole leaf tight into the frame.

Same-day installBrilliant communication, work done to a high standard and good prices. Would definitely use this company again.
Excellent service and communication from Ultimate Home Solutions from start to finish. Requested a visit to discuss the supply and fitting of new front and back UPVC doors to our property. Appointment arranged very quickly and Liam arrived to discuss our options and give us background to the Company. There was no pressure from start to finish. Request to think about it overnight was welcomed and I phoned to proceed...
Great experience 5* from beginning to end. I had new windows fitted & a new front door really happy with the whole process & fitted within 4 weeks from ordering. Would definitely use again.

A surveyor who measures the opening rather than ordering a stock size, honest advice on the glass where a door faces the street, a price with the lock, the handles and the fitting all in it, and installers who make good round the frame before they leave. From Whinhall to Chapelhall that was the ask, and all workmanship is guaranteed.

The online designer is for our Palladio range, the premium end of what we fit. It does not cover the other door ranges on this page. Choose a style, try it in every colour, compare the glass patterns and set the handle, the letterplate and the knocker.
Opens the Palladio door designer in a new tab. Free to use, nothing to download, and no obligation.
A surveyor comes out free of charge, measures the opening and the sill, and brings colour, glass and hardware samples so you can choose at your own front door.
A free, no-obligation quote follows, showing the door style, colour, glass and locks you chose. Take as long as you like over it.
Most composite doors go in within a single working day. The old door and frame are removed, the new set is fitted, sealed and locked, and the waste leaves with the installers.
You are shown the locks, then given the keys, the installation certificate and care notes, and we check in with you a few weeks later. All workmanship is guaranteed.

Call 0800 029 3875It depends on the size of the opening, the style, whether there are side panels or a fanlight, the glass and the hardware finish. A straightforward replacement in a Holehills semi is a different figure from a wide opening with two side lights on a Clarkston villa. The survey is free and the quote obliges you to nothing. Various deposit options are available.
It is a lot harder to get through than an old timber or hollow uPVC door. The multi-point lock throws hooks and bolts into the frame at several points instead of one, the cylinder is anti-snap, and the solid core resists a kick. Where a door is not overlooked, say so at the survey and the hardware can be specified accordingly.
That is exactly what the construction is for. The GRP skin does not swell, rot or need painting the way timber does, and the core keeps the leaf rigid so it does not twist in wind. The surveyor will also look at the threshold and the drip detail, which is where an exposed Airdrie doorway usually lets water in.
A wide range, including the anthracite greys, blues and greens people tend to pick, with a different colour inside if you want. Samples are brought to the house so you can hold them against your own stone or render rather than judging from a screen.
Yes, and there is a lot of choice in it. If the door faces the street directly, obscured or reeded glass keeps the daylight without giving the hall away. The surveyor will point out where toughened or laminated glass is needed and where it is simply not.
One working day for a standard changeover. The old door comes out, the new frame goes in, it is sealed and made good, and you are locking up that night. Wider openings with side panels can take longer and the surveyor tells you in advance if yours will.
Usually a noticeable difference. Most of the heat loss from an old front door is around a failed seal and through a thin panel, not through the lock. A composite door has an insulated core and compression seals that pull tight when it is locked.
