Doors can be solid however, we also manufacture them to include double or single glazed panels, lets natural daylight in and around your home, whilst maintaining high security. As well as providing all of these more standard options, we can also work with you and use your own ideas in the design and manufacture of doors that are specific to your requirements, to help make your vision a reality.
Front Doors
Front doors are one of the most important design features of your home, this is the first thing people will see before entering your house and it is seen a statement of what’s to come. We help create that wow factor whilst ensuring your front door provides you with the highest security, weatherproofing and draft proofing, keeping the warmth in and the cold and rain out. There are a variety of different hardwoods available, to make sure you have a beautifully bespoke front door that makes a statement.
Sustainable softwood interior and exterior doors
If you are looking to have sustainable softwood internal or external doors, we can manufacture either of these using the ever popular Accoya wood.
Accoya wood is sustainable, durable, dimensionally stable and easy to maintain. It can be opaque coated in a colour of your choice or if you are looking for a natural wood finish the doors can be finished in a translucent coating. Accoya wood not only has incredibly low thermal conductivity but it also matches and sometimes exceeds the durability and dimensional stability of some of the best tropical hardwoods. Accoyas low maintenance requirements mean that it is a cost effective option and also adds to its environmental credentials. Accoya wood has been modified using a acetylation process however, this does not weaken the original wood – in fact its hardness is improved.
We also manufacture softwood interior doors from Tulipwood which has a pinkish, yellowish colour and is traditionally painted, stained or spray finished. Tulipwood is very light in weight however, it is also very strong. It can be easily stained and is often used as a low-cost alternative to Walnut and Cherry hardwoods.
