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 Largs and the KA30 shore villages, and a seafront town is about the hardest test a front door gets. Salt carries in on the wind, the rain comes sideways and a painted door is back to bare wood in a couple of years. The Victorian and Edwardian houses along the promenade and up Aubery and Netherhall have wide, handsome doorways worth doing properly, the bungalows at Gogoside and Douglas Park face straight west, and the newer property towards Brisbane Glen sits high enough to catch everything. A composite door has its colour moulded through the skin, a solid core around 44mm thick behind it, and nothing on the outside for salt to attack. Trusted installers fit it in a day and all workmanship is guaranteed.
Salt, wind and rain off the Firth of Clyde take a painted front door apart faster than almost anything else in Scotland. A composite door gives salt nothing to work on and rain nothing to soak into. This is what it is built from.

Same-day installGreat 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.
Did what they said they would do and on time.
Having 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...

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 3875The usual band is £950 to £2,200 fitted, with the old door lifted out, taken away and the certification included. Colour, glass, hardware and side panels decide where yours lands. The measure is free, the quote leaves you free to say no, and various deposit options are available.
It does not, really. The colour is moulded through the skin instead of being painted onto it, so there is no film for salt to lift or chalk, and hardware finishes suited to coastal exposure are specified where they are needed. A wash with warm soapy water a few times a year is the whole maintenance job.
It should not. The frame carries weather seals and the multi-point lock draws the door onto them all the way up, rather than only at the handle, and that is what stops driven rain finding a way in. Exposure is looked at during the measure and the threshold is specified to match the doorway.
Yes. The Victorian and Edwardian property along the promenade and the streets behind it has tall openings, often with a fanlight and glazed panels either side, and no two are the same size. Every frame is built from the surveyor's figures, and the Heritage composite designs suit that kind of frontage without looking out of place.
By a distance. A composite door is six times more insulating than timber, the core is insulated all the way through, and weather seals close the gaps that an old door leaves round the edge and under the bottom. Halls that were cold all winter usually stop being cold.
Every door is tested to PAS 24, the British standard covering forced entry. Behind that you get a solid core rather than a hollow one, multi-point locking with hooks and bolts, a 3-star Kitemarked anti-snap cylinder and laminated glass in any glazed panel.
Comfortably more than 200 pairings of colour and glass. Greys, blacks and creams suit the rendered houses, heritage blues and greens sit well on stone, and the woodgrain finishes pass for timber from the pavement. Inside and outside can be different colours, and the hardware comes in chrome, gold, matt black or antique.
One working day. The old door and frame come out, the new frame goes in and is sealed, the door is hung, the glass and hardware are fitted, and the locking is explained before they leave. Nothing is left open overnight and the old door goes away in the van.
We do, and to Inverkip, Seamill, West Kilbride, Kilbirnie and Dalry besides. The whole of KA30 is covered and no call-out fee is added anywhere along the coast.

A surveyor is along this stretch of coast regularly and trusted installers follow once the door has been built. The measure costs nothing and there is no charge for the journey, in the town or out to the villages.
