Solid Core S-Class Composite Front Doors

Browse S-Class Door Styles

Solid core doors are all about the feeling. 

Of course, they look fantastic too. S-Class doors come in a range of styles, from classic to cottage to modern minimalism. Plus you can pick from an incredible 1,600 colours to match your house’s scheme perfectly. 

You can pick distinctive glass panels and tough, premium hardware like handles and letterboxes. 

And of course they’re made with a solid wooden core, so you’ll always feel secure at home. 

But what you’ll notice every time you open or close your solid core S-Class door is how it feels. The weight as it swings effortlessly on high-quality hinges. The quiet hiss and thump as it seats perfectly into the frame. The deep, sonorous knock. 

It feels like quality.

What is an S-Class solid core door?

With an S-Class solid core door range you get all the choice and convenience of a composite door with the unmistakable feel of a solid wooden core. With a range of carefully curated styles and an incredible 1,600 colours to choose from, it’s the perfect combination of style and reliability. 

How is an S-Class door made?

It starts with the solid core. This is a single slab of laminated wood, cut to the exact size for your frame. Then our unique thermoplastic CoolSkin outer is bonded onto the outside, in your choice of colour. CoolSkin reflects heat to keep you cool in summer and warm in winter, and it’s easy to keep clean too.

Why choose a solid core S-Class door?

Tough and long-lasting

You want your front door to last. So S-Class doors are built tough. The solid core and CoolSkin outer construction is highly resistant to twisting and cracking even in the most extreme weather conditions. Your S-Class door will look and feel great year after year.

Looks and feels like wood

Looks and feels like wood

The solid core means your S-Class door feels as solid as any wooden door. The CoolSkin outer has a well-defined wood texture that makes it look like wood too. But it’s much easier to look after - just give it a wipe down with warm soapy water and a lint free cloth every now and then.

Secure throughout

A solid core front door is only as strong as its weakest link. Your S-Class door comes with an insurance-approved, high-security multipoint locking system as standard so all the links are strong.

Are solid core doors fire-rated?

Unless otherwise stated, fire doors like the S-Class range are not fire-rated and cannot be used where a fire door is required. You’ll need one of our fire doors there.

How do I look after a solid core door?

S-Class doors are built to be low maintenance and easy to keep looking good. If you follow these simple steps your door will look and work brilliantly for a long time. 

  • Every now and then clean the surface with a soft cloth and warm, soapy water. Don’t use abrasive or solvent-based cleaners. 
  • Lubricate the hinges, locks and other moving parts every six months with light oil. 
  • Engage the locking points every time you close the door, even if you’re not locking it. This keeps natural thermal movement to a minimum.
What is a solid core door?

S-Class doors are cut from a solid slab of laminated wood that’s built to be strong and stable. This core is then sandwiched between two thermoplastic CoolSkin layers that reflect heat and are weather-resistant. Hardware and locking systems are added last. Every door is made and finished to order so it’s exactly what you need.

What’s the difference between a solid core door and a regular composite door?

Solid core doors are built around a solid timber slab, with a PVC outer layer. Composite doors have a high-density polyurethane core and GRP skin outer layer.

Both styles are tough and durable. Solid core doors feel much weightier and are great at deadening sound from outside. Composite doors are much lighter and very energy efficient.

Do solid core doors fade?

Over time, yes. All doors will fade. How much, and over how long depends on the materials used and the weather conditions the door is subjected to. The thermoplastic CoolSkin outer used on S-Class solid core doors reflects heat and resists UV damage to help prevent fading, and with occasional cleaning will last for many years without fading.

Are solid core doors soundproof?

Solid core doors are not completely soundproof, but they are good at stopping noise. If you live on a busy street, it will probably help.
