New colours unlocked for customers …
Solidor has launched four new colours at its Solidor Unlocked event , which took place at its new manufacturing facilities in Stoke-on- Trent on 22-23 May .
As part of the event , attendees were taken on a behind-the-scenes tour around the Solidor factory before being given an update on the U value performance changes which came into effect on 15 June 2023 that impact doors being fitted into existing dwellings .
They also received a preview of the new nature-inspired colours - Forest Green , Buttercup , Pistachio and Truffle Brown - and two new smart handles from ERA and Ultion . The names for the new colours were suggested by members of the Solidor team before being put to a vote .
Mark Young , commercial director at Solidor , said : “ The launch of the new colours is the start of many exciting developments at Solidor . This event has given our installers the opportunity to see our latest innovations and designs , as well as learning about important updates to Part L of the Building Regulations .
“ In this world of complex legislative change , with many standards being updated on a regular basis , it ’ s encouraging to see so many people from across our national installer network come to site and make sure they ’ re up to date with the requirements .”
All doors in the Solidor range are fully in line with the standards specified in the amendments to Part L , with its thermally efficient design achieving a U value of 1.4 W /( m 2 K ). The timber core doors have added design features that drive an overall performance improvement and provide customers with the same broad range of choices , suitable for any installation .
