Frequently Asked Questions
About Timber Doors

One competitive aspect, timber doors have over composite doors is their repairability and environmental sustainability. If timber doors happen to get scratched or damaged slightly, they can often be sanded down and redefined, whereas damage to composite doors may require further repairs.
Environmentally speaking, timber is a natural resource gathered from forests around the world. Wood is also a renewable resource, making timber doors a sustainable and eco-friendly choice.
Are there eco-friendly treatments available for timber doors? +
Yes, there are indeed options available for eco-friendly treatments to your external timber doors, treatments tend to use natural oils and waxes that aren’t harmful to the environment.

How energy efficient are Timber Doors? +
Timber is a natural insulator, meaning that timber doors have a strong level of insulation, helping to keep a home warm in the cold months, and cool in hot months.
Is it possible to tell if an external Timber Door needs resealing? +
Timber doors can be assessed for resealing by examining the aesthetics of the surface. When a timber door shows visible signs of wear, or if moisture no longer beads upon the surface, then these are indicators that the door would benefit from resealing.
Are your timber doors bespoke? +

Timber doors are a robust solution for your front door, as solid timber provides a high level of strength and durability, whilst also offering strong thermal and sound insulation.
Is a timber door more suited for interior or exterior use? +
We recommend our timber doors be used externally, as they are designed with weather-resistance, durability and soundproofing at the forefront of their principles.
Where are your timber doors sourced from? +
We’re proud to source the timber for our timber doors sustainably, in line with the FSC® scheme, the globally recognised symbol of the world’s most respected forest certification scheme. As a timber door supplier, we ensure that our timber doors are produced using sustainable forest materials.
