Empire Windows completed a composite door installation in Marlow for Mr & Mrs Steadman as part of their wider home refurbishment. The front entrance was the final stage of their renovation, and they wanted a secure, modern door that would complete the transformation of their property.
Following an initial consultation and a visit to our showroom, the clients selected a Solidor composite door that combined enhanced security with contemporary styling. The installation was carefully scheduled to align with the completion of their refurbishment project.
The Requirement for a Front Door Replacement
The existing entrance door no longer reflected the standard of the newly refurbished home. While functional, it lacked the modern security credentials and clean aesthetic the clients were seeking.
Their key priorities included:
- Improved security performance
- A contemporary design finish
- Reduced threshold height
- A precise and minimal external finish
As this was the final stage of their renovation, the door needed to be completed efficiently and installed to a high standard.
Choosing a Solidor Composite Door
After reviewing options in our appointment-only showroom, the clients selected a Solidor door. The decision was based on its PAS 24:2022 accreditation, solid timber core construction, and modern appearance.
As an approved installer, Empire Windows ensures each front door replacement in Marlow is measured precisely before manufacture. This guarantees the finished product fits accurately within the existing opening.
The selected door offered:
- PAS 24:2022 compliant locking system
- Strong thermal performance
- Low-maintenance finish
- Modern external detailing
This combination provided both visual impact and enhanced protection.

Installation Process and On-Site Adjustments
On the agreed installation date, our team carried out a final measurement check before removing the original door and frame. This step ensures that every Solidor door installation in Marlow proceeds without unexpected fitting issues.
Once confirmed, the existing frame was removed carefully to protect the surrounding brickwork and internal finishes.
A key improvement during this project was lowering the door level to achieve a reduced threshold. This adjustment created a cleaner entrance line and improved accessibility.
The new door was fitted, aligned, and secured within one working day. All locking systems were tested to confirm smooth operation.
To complete the installation, matching finishing profiles were applied to the surround. Particular attention was given to achieving zero visible external mastic, resulting in a sharp and modern appearance.
