Introduction
If you want a front door that looks contemporary, feels premium, and instantly makes your home look more high-end, the Messina is one of the strongest choices in the Solidor range.
It sits within Solidor’s Italia Collection — a modern collection inspired by Italian styling, handmade in Staffordshire, and designed for homeowners who want their entrance to feel genuinely “top spec”.
The reason Messina works so well is that it delivers that high-end look without relying on fussy detailing or over-designed features.
It’s clean, confident, and perfectly suited to modern hardware like long bar handles and minimalist accessories.
And because it’s built with Solidor’s solid timber core, Messina isn’t just about kerb appeal — it’s designed to feel secure, warm, and solid every single day.

Hardware: the easiest way to make Messina look “high-end”

The Italia Collection is designed for personalisation, with curated hardware options selected to match modern fashion.
So homeowners can create a truly premium entrance without overcomplicating the design.
Glazing and privacy: brighten your entrance without feeling overlooked
If you want natural light in the hallway, glazing can transform the entrance.
But privacy matters.
There are glazing options designed to balance privacy and natural lighting, with designs crafted for energy efficiency and added security.
So you can get that brighter, more open entrance feel while still keeping your home private.
Security: luxury look, serious protection
A modern luxury door should never compromise security.
Solidor doors use a solid timber core designed to deliver efficient warmth and extreme security.
For locking, homeowners can choose advanced multi-point systems such as Automatic AV4 Autolock, which locks automatically when the door closes.
And if you choose Ultion cylinders, you also get the Ultion £5,000 security guarantee if an intruder breaks in due to snapping the Ultion cylinder lock.
So Messina gives you the luxury look homeowners want, with the peace of mind they need.
Warmth and comfort: the upgrade you’ll feel daily
A quality composite door doesn’t just improve kerb appeal. It improves comfort.
Solidor’s solid timber construction is designed to deliver efficient warmth.
So homeowners often notice:
- less draught
- warmer entrance
- quieter hallway
- better seal and comfort in winter
It’s one of those upgrades that pays you back every day.
