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 Wishaw and the ML2 villages, every one measured at the house before it is built. Wishaw is a town of upper and lower cottage flats, ex-council terraces at Pather, Craigneuk and Gowkthrapple, interwar semis out at Coltness and Cambusnethan, and stone-built houses along Main Street and Kirk Road. A great many of those front doors are still the ones that came with the house, and after a few Lanarkshire winters a timber door swells while a hollow panel rattles. A composite door behaves differently: a solid core, around 44mm thick, under a moulded skin, so it shuts with weight behind it and stays shut. Vetted installers change it over in a day and all workmanship is guaranteed.
Wishaw sits high above the Clyde valley and the wind finds every gap round an old front door. Timber takes on water and swells, a hollow panel drums when it slams, and neither one keeps the hall warm. Composite deals with all three at once, and this is how it is put together.

Same-day installAbsolutely 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.
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.
I was very well impressed from stat to finish with ultimate home solutions. I had Henry the sales for the double glazing and his advice was second to none and thank goodness for my windows look beautiful. The company that installed them were very professional and very clean workers. I would highly recommend this company and will use them in future for any further projects.

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.

No. Plenty of Wishaw houses had a porch or a vestibule added on later, and the door sitting inside it is usually the one people want changed. The surveyor measures the inner opening and works out how the new frame meets the porch. If the porch door itself has had its day, that can be replaced at the same time.
It will. The door is heavy enough that it does not flex in a gust the way a light hollow panel does, and the multi-point lock pulls it onto weather seals that run the full height of the frame. Exposed doorways are noted during the measure so that the right threshold goes in underneath.
Considerably, if what you have is timber or a hollow panel. PAS 24 testing covers the complete door, the core is solid rather than foam-filled, the locking is multi-point with hooks and bolts, the cylinder is 3-star Kitemarked and anti-snap, and glazed panels are laminated.
That is usually the first thing people notice. An old door with a gap under it loses heat all day. The composite core is insulated right through, the frame carries weather seals, and the lock pulls the door tight onto them, so the hall holds its heat instead of leaking it out to the street.
Over 200 colour and glass combinations in total. The Lanarkshire favourites are anthracite grey, black, cream and chartwell green, though duck egg blue and the woodgrain finishes are picked plenty too. You can have one colour facing the street and another facing the hall, and the hardware comes in chrome, gold, matt black or antique.
The installers arrive in the morning, take the old door and frame out, set the new frame, seal it, hang the door, fit the glazing and the hardware and run the locking past you. Everything that comes out goes away in the van. One working day covers it, and the house is secure again before they leave.
All three, along with Morningside, Bonkle, Allanton, Cleland, Newarthill and Law. Anywhere in ML2 is on the patch and there is no call-out fee attached to any of it.

We do. All workmanship is guaranteed, so phone the freephone number on any day of the week and we will get someone out to look at the hinge, the seal or the lock.
Not at all. Most people never do. The surveyor brings colour swatches and glass samples to the house, which is the better way to judge a shade anyway, because you see it against your own brick or render. If you would rather look at doors in person, our Glasgow showroom is inside Dobbies at Braehead in Renfrew, open every day.
Surveyors are round the town most weeks and vetted installers follow once the door has been made. The measure is free and no call-out charge applies anywhere in the list below.
