Read more →Why Palladio
Monocoque Construction
Palladio doors are moulded as a single-piece fibreglass shell with no seams or weak points. Unlike traditional composite doors with separate skins bonded to a core, Palladio's one-piece shell will not delaminate, warp, or admit water through joints.
48mm Solid Timber Core
The thickest core in the UK composite door market. Fully insulated timber delivers exceptional thermal performance (U-value from 1.0 W/m²K) plus superior security and acoustic insulation.
Secured by Design Accredited
UK police-approved security standard with 5-point multi-point locking, 3-star TS007 cylinder, laminated inner glass pane, and reinforced hinge jamb. PAS 24:2022 certified.
12-Year Manufacturer Warranty
Longer than most composite door brands (typically 10 years). Covers fibreglass skin integrity, colour stability, structural integrity, locking mechanism, and the triple-glazed unit.
18 Heritage-Stable Colours
Palladio's fibreglass outer surface is UV-stable and has shown minimal fade over 10+ years in UK conditions. Chartwell green, hunter green, anthracite, black, Oxford blue, rosewood and more.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Palladio?
Palladio is a premium composite entrance door brand manufactured in Ireland using monocoque fibreglass construction. Each door is built as a single moulded shell around a 48mm solid timber core — the thickest in the UK composite market. Palladio doors are Secured by Design accredited, PAS 24:2022 certified, and carry a 12-year manufacturer warranty.
Why do Vitrum Solutions install Palladio exclusively?
Across 200+ installations Palladio has shown zero delamination issues over 10+ year service life, minimal colour fade even on south-facing installations, consistent manufacturing quality, and fewer hardware failures in the critical year 5-10 warranty window. For our coverage area and quality standards, Palladio is the composite door we stand behind.
How does Palladio compare to Solidor or other composite doors?
Palladio uses monocoque single-piece fibreglass construction; most other composite doors (including Solidor) use separate GRP skins bonded to a timber core. Palladio's approach eliminates delamination risk. Palladio also has a 12-year warranty vs Solidor's 10-year, and a thicker 48mm core vs Solidor's 48mm (equal here). Solidor has more colour options (24+ vs Palladio's 18). See our full comparison: /blog/palladio-vs-solidor-composite-doors.
How much does a Palladio composite door cost?
Typical UK prices for Palladio installed: £1,800 – £2,200 for a classic traditional panel door, £2,000 – £2,400 for a contemporary flat-panel design, £2,500 – £3,000 with a single sidelight, £2,800 – £3,500 with two sidelights. All fully installed, FENSA registered, with a 10-year CPA insurance-backed guarantee.
How long do Palladio doors last?
30+ years with minimal maintenance. The fibreglass outer surface is UV-stable and resists fading, warping and weathering. The monocoque construction eliminates the delamination failure mode that shortens traditional composite door lifespans to 20-25 years.
What colours are available?
Palladio offers 18 standard colours including Chartwell green, hunter green, racing green, Oxford blue, navy, anthracite grey (RAL 7016 and 7040), black (RAL 9005), white, cream, rosewood woodgrain, oak woodgrain, and more. All colours carry a 12-year fade guarantee.
