Doors: Entrance Doors
All of our doors are made bespoke and can accommodate any design. Layouts can be configured in a wide range of combinations, including panel style, boarding and glazing, with options for fanlights and sidelights, single or double leaf doors. The examples shown represent a selection of popular styles.
Original designs can also be faithfully replicated where required.
Our doors are crafted from precision-machined timber sections, ensuring refined, well-proportioned detailing appropriate to the style of the project.
Panels can be configured as vertically/horizontally boarded, raised and fielded, flat or recessed, with a range of moulding profiles.
Typical moulding arrangements include:
A — Ovolo bead with flat panel
B — Ovolo bead with raised and fielded panel
C — Bolection moulding with flush panel
D — Bolection moulding with raised and fielded panel
Bespoke profiles can be machined to suit specific design requirements, including the replication of existing or historic door details.
Our doors are constructed from a high-performance engineered core using an insulated timber sandwich construction. This comprises a solid timber perimeter with an insulated core, faced with timber veneers and protective layers that improve rigidity, moisture resistance and thermal performance.
Door blanks can be specified with an integrated security inlay to support PAS 24 compliant door constructions.
Weather bars, compression draught seals and automatic drop thresholds are carefully integrated to provide effective protection against air and water ingress.
Cills can be formed in hardwood or aluminium, selected to suit the performance requirements and overall design of the door.
Where entrance doors incorporate glazed panels, three door construction depths are available to suit a range of glazing unit specifications.
56 mm door construction accommodates single, double, slimline and vacuum glazing units, with overall unit thicknesses ranging from 4–24mm.
78 mm door construction* accommodates triple glazed units, with overall unit thicknesses ranging from 36–44mm, including:
4–12–4–12–4 (36 mm triple glazed unit)
4–14–4–14–4 (40 mm triple glazed unit)
4–16–4–16–4 (44 mm triple glazed unit)
*78mm thick doors are only compatible with multipoint locking systems and Tectus concealed hinges or 3D adjustable hinges. Butt hinges are not suitable for this door thickness.
Toughened or laminated glass can also be specified where enhanced protection is required without compromising appearance.
Glazing bars
Glazing bars can be specified as either face-applied or true through bars depending on glazing choice, with a range of profiles and detailing to suit both contemporary and period designs.
We offer a variety of decorative finishes including stained, leaded, patterned, etched and satin glass. Numerals or custom motifs can also be incorporated within glazed door panels and fanlights.
We offer an extensive range of stains and colours, including any shade from popular paint ranges. If you have a specific colour in mind, we can match it.Take a look at our Design Guide for further information.
