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 designs, supplies and fits new composite doors across Carron, Carronshore and the FK2 postcode, a corner of Falkirk district that grew up around the ironworks on the river and kept the housing to prove it. There are solid stone and brick terraces from the works years, rows of post-war council-built semis, and newer estates out at Carron Mains and towards Kinnaird. The front door is generally the oldest thing on any of them. A composite door changes that for a solid core, around 44mm thick, under a moulded skin that shrugs off the damp coming up off the river. A surveyor brings the samples to you, trusted installers fit the door in a day, and all workmanship is guaranteed.
Damp rises off the Carron and the frost follows it, and a painted timber door in these streets seldom lasts more than a couple of winters looking smart. Composite is made in layers that ignore all of it. Here is what they do.
A 44mm solid laminated timber core, not a hollow shell filled with foam. It shuts with a thud, not a rattle.
44mm solid coreMulti-point locking with a 3-star anti-snap cylinder as standard. The standard insurers ask for.
PAS 24 testedThe insulated core stops the hallway draught you get from an old wooden door with a gap under it.

Same-day installAfter succesfully installing our new bathroom, we hired Ultimate Home Solutions for our complete kitchen strip out, and rebuild. Again found them to be very reliable, punctual and professional in every aspect. From kitchen design, through fitting, plumbing, electrics, decorating and post installation courtesy visit. Highly recommended.
Absolutely brilliant experience from start to finish. The qualities of the product were explained and demonstrated and we went ahead. We were delighted with the end product and the lads who done the job were friendly professional and approachable. We would have no hesitation in recommending this company to anyone and will do so if asked.
From start to finish very professional, fantastic job looks great.

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 get a person who deals with door enquiries all day rather than a menu of options. Open seven days, and most messages are answered well inside an hour.
Call 0800 029 3875We do, and the journey costs you nothing. A surveyor covers Carron, Carronshore, Bainsford, Langlees and the villages out towards Airth, with the samples in the car. No call-out fee and no obligation once the quote is with you.
Most come to between £950 and £2,200 fitted, including removal of the old door, disposal and certification. The colour, glass, hardware and any side panel decide the rest. Various deposit options are available.
Yes. Openings in housing of that age are rarely square and almost never a standard width, which is why nothing is ordered until the surveyor has measured yours. The frame is then made to those figures rather than packed out to fit.
It usually solves it. The frame is renewed along with the door, so the seal is made right round the opening, and the multi-point lock pulls the door onto weather seals at several points. The insulated core is six times more insulating than timber, which you feel straight away in a hall.
Every one we fit is tested to PAS 24, the British standard for resisting forced entry. The core is solid instead of hollow, the lock drives hooks and bolts into the frame, the cylinder is 3-star Kitemarked and anti-snap, and any glazed panel is laminated.
Yes, and it tends to be a fast job because the opening is modern and square. Builders' doors are usually the cheapest component in a new house, so the difference is obvious. If the estate is factored, check whether anything is set down about the frontage first.
No. The colour runs through the moulded skin instead of sitting on it as a paint film, so there is nothing to flake and nothing to rub down. Warm soapy water on the face of the door is the whole job.
There are more than 200 colour and glass pairings. Anthracite grey, black, cream, chartwell green and duck egg blue are the common choices, woodgrain finishes read as timber from the street, and the inside face can be a different shade. Hardware comes in chrome, gold, matt black and antique.
One working day. The old door and frame are taken out, the new frame is set and sealed, the door is hung, the glass and hardware are fitted and the locking is explained to you. The old door is taken away with them.
