PARTNERSHIP, A SMARTER DOOR

CWG Choices and Solidor Raise the Bar for Composite Installations

Installers are all too familiar with the difference between a straightforward fit and one that leads to alignment adjustments, homeowner queries or unnecessary callbacks. In response, CWG Choices and Solidor have together strengthened their offering, introducing a refreshed range designed to improve installation efficiency, simplify customer conversations and deliver more consistent long-term performance.
During November, CWG launched Five new colours, and an AutoFire lock as standard with improved pricing. These upgrades give trade customers a more competitive product that performs reliably from day one and offers homeowners a higher quality experience.
Commenting on the new phase of the partnership, Dean Hague, Sales Director at CWG Choices, said:“ Our partnership has now evolved even further, giving you more value, more innovation, and more reasons to choose Solidor for your next composite door installation.”
For installers looking to maintain an edge while keeping projects running smoothly, this latest development in the CWG Choices and Solidor partnership provides timely support to our customers.
Smarter Features That Support Performance
One of the standout updates is the adoption of the AutoFire lock system across all Solidor doors supplied by CWG Choices. The lock engages automatically as the door closes, which helps to limit thermal movement and maintain consistent alignment throughout seasonal changes. For installers, this reduces the likelihood of post-installation adjustments. For homeowners, it improves reliability and adds practical convenience.
The introduction of five new colour options further widens the appeal of the Solidor range. Covering classic tones through to more contemporary shades, the expanded palette allows installers to match doors to a broader range of property types and customer preferences. Solidor has long been recognised for its finishes, and the new colours strengthen that reputation while giving the trade more flexibility.
CWG Choices has also continued to develop its Solidor Door Designer, which remains a useful tool for helping customers explore styles, colours and glazing choices. The configurator supports quick decision-making and provides a clear visual reference, helping installers reduce uncertainty and keep the sales process running smoothly.
Smart Tech Ready From Day One
As connected home technology becomes more common, smart-ready hardware is increasingly expected by homeowners. To support this shift, all doors within the Solidor Choices range supplied with an Avantis lock by CWG Choices are Kubu prepared as standard.
