Traditional front door designs

Your entrance door creates the primary statement for your building. Our traditional front door collection features classic panelling, deep timber profiles, and substantial core constructions that deliver instant security and weather performance. These wooden front doors accept standard multi-point locking systems and traditional mortice locks, allowing you to meet security requirements without sacrificing period aesthetics.

Durable back door styles

Back doors must withstand heavy everyday use while maintaining tight weather seals. Our traditional timber back doors offer solid construction with practical panelling and glazed window options. They provide maximum security for rear entrances, utility rooms, and side access points without compromising thermal insulation.

Timber construction versus composite doors

Timber doors provide authentic character, natural grain patterns, and superior flexibility during installation. You can trim, stain, paint, and repair timber on site over time. Composite doors offer low maintenance and high insulation but lack the traditional feel and trimming flexibility of real wood.

Hardwood benefits for traditional properties

Hardwood remains the premier material choice for period homes and high-end exterior finishes. Its dense structure resists warping, twisting, and physical impact far better than softwoods. Hardwood doors absorb protective stains and paints deeply, creating a long-lasting barrier against dampness and rot.

Period-appropriate finishes

Maintaining historical character requires the right surface finish. Our unfinished hardwood doors allow you to apply high-performance micro-porous paints, wood stains, or traditional oils to match existing joinery. Proper sealing ensures your traditional door resists moisture absorption and UV degradation for decades.

Material choices for every budget

Budget constraints often dictate material selection on refurbishment projects. Solid oak and premium engineered hardwoods offer maximum longevity and architectural detail for primary entrances. Softwood and composite alternatives provide cost-effective solutions for utility doors, rear entry points, or high-volume developments.

Front door styles, glass panels and curb appeal

Georgian, Victorian, and Edwardian designs

Historical architecture relies on correct door proportions:

• Georgian styles feature symmetrical six-panel designs that deliver clean, dignified architectural lines
• Victorian doors incorporate raised lower panels with decorative upper glazed sections to balance light and privacy
• Edwardian designs utilise larger upper glass panels to maximise natural light in deep hallways

Glass panels for natural light

Glazed external doors transform dark entryways by allowing natural daylight into your hallway. All our glazed traditional doors come fitted with toughened safety glass as standard, complying with current UK building regulations. Double-glazed units preserve thermal efficiency while letting light flood your interior.

Patterned glazing for privacy

Maintaining privacy at your front entrance does not mean sacrificing natural daylight. We offer patterned, frosted, and decorative leaded glass options that obscure the interior view from the street. These obscure glass panels maintain security and privacy while adding refined visual details.

Enhancing curb appeal with colour

A traditional front door acts as the central focal point of your property's exterior. Choosing to paint your doors in deep heritage colours like dark green, navy blue, or classic black highlights classic timber panelling. Natural wood stains showcase rich oak grain patterns, raising property value and kerb appeal instantly.

Choosing a replacement front door or new external door

Measuring the existing opening

Accurate measurements prevent costly fitting delays on site. Measure the brickwork opening width and height in three separate places (top, middle, bottom) and use the smallest measurement. Always measure the door frame itself rather than just the old door leaf to confirm structural dimensions.

Replacement front doors with frames

Replacing both the door leaf and the frame guarantees the best thermal seal and structural alignment. Pre-hung door sets or complete frame kits eliminate gaps, draughts, and binding issues caused by aged, warped original linings.

Finish and door furniture

Practical details still count. They’re available unfinished or prefinished, depending on how much work you’d like to do on site. Choose a door suitable for external use, finish it properly if required and pair it with suitable locks, hinges, weather seals and hardware that are in keeping with the style of door for a truly authentic look.

Professional fitting for best results

Correct installation ensures your door performs as engineered. While experienced DIYers can hang standard timber doors, employing a professional joiner ensures weatherproofing, frame squaring, and security compliance are handled correctly first time.
