French
This is our our standard specification, However as all of our doors are manufactured to order we are able to work to alternative specification if required.
Timber
The timber we use is usually top quality Hardwood for instance European oak, Mahogany, Idigbo although if you require any other timber species don't hesitate to ask. Frame
Construction Method
Our external doors are usually 56mm thick, with 100mm wide stiles, 200mm bottom rail and a 100mm top rail. The doors are rebated along both long edges of the doors so they overlap in the centre of the frame to allow for the draught strips and a rebate lock. We use a mortice and tenon construction for strength and security Doors with glass openings are pre-beaded for ease of glazing. The new building regulations specify that any door which has more than 50% glass must be double-glazed with toughened glass units at a minimum thickness of 24mm (4-16-4). This means that these doors must either be approximately 56mm thick, or there can be no internal moulding
Variations
There are many variations to external doors including raised and fielded panels, flat panels, glazed panels, glass beads, plant moulds, bolection moulds, swept and shaped heads and styles. Please ask us to quote for your chosen design.
Ironmongery
Our standard ironmongery includes butt hinges mortice lock and all usual door hardware from letterboxes knockers, spy holes and numbers. However you can choose which sort of hardware you require for your needs. All screws and nails used in the manufacture are coated for durability.
