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 doors across Inverurie and the AB51 villages, with the samples brought to your own table and nothing charged for the visit. Inverurie has grown faster than almost any town in the north east, so one street is granite-built and a century old while the next at Uryside or Souterford went up in the past few years. What they share is a hard winter: frost, east wind and the haar rolling in off the coast. Granite-framed openings are rarely square after that long, and a door made to a standard size will never sit properly in one. Every door we build is measured to its own doorway, with a solid core around 44mm thick under a moulded skin that takes on no water at all. Trusted installers hang it in a day and all workmanship is guaranteed.
A north east winter is long, cold and dry enough to shrink a timber door and wet enough in spring to swell it back again. That movement is what wrecks the fit and lets the draught in. A composite door does not move. Here is the reason why.
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.
U-value from 1.0Heritage shades, modern greys, woodgrain finishes and a full range of decorative and leaded glass.
200+ combinationsComposite shrugs off rain. No sticking in a wet January, no gap opening up when the heating goes on.
Zero movementOld door out, new frame in, sealed, locked and shown to you. Most are done before teatime.
Same-day installHaving recently had our bathroom fitted by UHS, we were blown away by the quality and service so it was an easy decision to have UHS replace two of our windows. From the initial consultation through to booking the installation and the installation itself, it was a smooth process and everyone was super friendly and helpful. The fitters were efficient and were done in no time, taking time to clean up and make sure we...
I loved the experience. The finished product was far beyond my expectations and the workload was quickly carried out and completed. The workers when they arrived were polite and maintained high quality standards. Further, they ensured the mess they made was cleaned up at the end of each day. Overall, I would highly recommend this service to others as the business is very professional.
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...

The choosing is done at your own table with the samples in front of you, the quote costs nothing and commits you to nothing, and trusted installers are away again the same day. Port Elphinstone, Conglass or out at Kemnay, it makes no difference.

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.

01Granite, render and harl all throw a shade differently, and a colour that looked right indoors can look wrong on the house. Judging it outside settles the argument.
02Frame, sill and reveal all recorded on the day, so the door is built for your doorway rather than adjusted to suit it later.

The same as anywhere else we work, £950 to £2,200 fitted for most doors, with the old one taken out, disposed of and the certification included. Colour, glass, hardware and side panels move the figure within that. Various deposit options are available.
Completely different. Timber takes on water and swells, then dries out and shrinks, which is exactly the cycle you are describing. The outer skin on a composite door absorbs nothing, so the fit you get on day one is the fit you have in five years, summer or winter.
Not at all. Very few openings in a hundred-year-old granite house are true, and that is precisely why every frame is made from the surveyor's own measurements rather than ordered by size. Deep reveals, stone sills and fanlights are all accounted for on the day.
Often, yes. Developer front doors are built to a price, and on a plot with nothing between it and the open country the difference in warmth and in how the door closes is noticeable. The surveyor will tell you honestly if what you have is already decent.
Well. The core is insulated right through, a composite door is six times more insulating than timber, and the multi-point lock pulls the door onto seals that run round the whole frame. There is no gap left at the bottom for the cold to come under.
PAS 24 is the British forced-entry standard, and every door we supply is tested to it. The core is solid rather than hollow, the lock throws hooks and bolts into the frame at several points, the cylinder is 3-star Kitemarked and anti-snap, and glazed panels are laminated.
The range holds more than 200 pairings of colour and glass. Heritage greens, blues and creams suit granite, greys and blacks suit the newer render, and the woodgrain finishes look like a stained timber door without the upkeep. Inside and outside colours can differ, and hardware comes in chrome, gold, matt black or antique.
One working day. The old door and frame come out, the new frame is set and sealed, the door is hung, the glass and hardware go on and the locking is run through with you. The old set is loaded into the van.
