Timber Doors

With proper maintenance, our timber doors can last for generations—often 60+ years. Many historic properties feature original timber doors that have served for decades with appropriate care and occasional repair.

The cost of timber and aluminium doors can vary depending on the design, size, glazing, and overall specification. In many cases, aluminium doors are often priced as a premium contemporary option, while timber doors are also considered a higher-end choice because of their natural material, craftsmanship, and traditional appeal. The right option depends not only on budget, but also on the style you want to achieve and the character of your home.

Timber doors are often more expensive than uPVC doors. This is usually because timber offers a natural appearance, classic character, and a more bespoke feel that appeals to homeowners looking for a premium finish. uPVC doors are generally seen as the more cost-effective option, while timber doors are often chosen for their warmth, authenticity, and suitability for traditional or high-end properties.

Aluminium is generally known for its structural strength, which makes it especially well suited to slim-framed and larger glazed door designs. Timber doors are also strong, durable, and highly reliable when properly manufactured and maintained. The best choice depends on the look you want, the style of your property, and the overall performance you expect from the door.

Yes, extremely. Wood is a natural insulator, and when combined with our high-performance weathersealing systems and glazing options, timber doors achieve excellent thermal performance that helps reduce energy consumption and heating costs for your home.

Absolutely. Timber doors are often the preferred (and sometimes required) choice for conservation areas and listed buildings. We have extensive experience working with conservation officers to create authentic designs that respect architectural heritage while providing modern performance.

While the initial investment for timber doors is typically higher than standard uPVC, they often represent better value over their lifetime due to their exceptional durability, repairability, and the value they add to your property. They’re generally comparable in price to premium aluminium systems.
