FAQ About Hardwood External Doors

Are hardwood doors good for external use?

Yes. Dense hardwood is strong, durable, and weather-resistant, which makes it a popular choice for front and back doors. Keep it properly finished and recoated to protect it from the elements.

What are your hardwood external doors made from?

Our external doors are made from dense, kiln-dried hardwood, chosen for strength, stability, and a rich grain. Each door is built at 44mm thick with mortice and tenon or dowelled joint construction.

Should I choose a glazed or unglazed hardwood door?

Glazed hardwood doors let in natural light with clear, frosted, leaded, or double-glazed panels. Unglazed doors use solid timber panels for maximum privacy, security, and sound insulation, so it comes down to light versus privacy.

How do I finish and maintain a hardwood external door?

Unfinished doors must be treated on all six faces with a suitable exterior stain, paint, or preservative before fitting. Recoat every two to three years and clean gently to protect the timber and its finish.

Do you offer pre-finished hardwood doors?

Yes. Alongside unfinished doors, we stock pre-finished hardwood external doors that arrive factory-coated and ready to hang, saving you the time and effort of on-site finishing.

Do you sell hardwood stable and cottage doors?

Yes. Our hardwood range includes stable doors that split into two halves, plus cottage and period-inspired designs with classic panel arrangements and decorative glazing options.

What sizes do hardwood external doors come in, and can they be made to measure?

We stock common UK standard sizes and make hardwood doors to measure for non-standard openings. Measure the width, height, and thickness of the opening, and use the smallest reading if measurements vary.

Are hardwood external doors secure?

Yes. Solid timber construction and the option of multipoint locking make hardwood doors a secure choice, and unglazed or toughened glazed panels add further protection.
