Wooden Doors

Wooden doors are now seen as the focal point of your home and not just for security, traditional wooden doors are as good as PVC doors for security and probably more aesthetically pleasing.

The argument that suggests using wooden doors will damage the planet is fairly weak, there is probably more damage caused by the manufacture of PVC doors, the growing of trees is now organized better than ever before and virtually all lumber companies realize they must have a strong re-forestation programme in place to secure their own future and that of the worlds population.

The amount of timber used in wooden doors is very small compared to other uses and in the main those companies constructing wooden doors have been at the forefront of conservation and re-forestation projects.

The amount of waste in the past was in our opinion criminal, every company that exported timber did so without a thought for the future, it was interesting to note that most hardwoods, mahogany etc was known by the name of the port it was exported from, nowadays timber is more likely to be known under a single regions banner, far eastern or similar.

Exterior wooden doors

It is now accepted that wooden exterior doors should add value to your home and not just keep you safe, Directdoors.com genuinely prides itself not just on the quality of the wooden doors it distributes but also on the selection of exterior and interior wooden doors available, they are as you can imagine the ultimate first impression, they ultimately state what type of person resides behind them or with them.

Interior wooden doors

We supply a full range of exterior and interior wooden doors including wooden doors in mahogany, wooden doors in pine, wooden doors in oak, and also a new range of composite wooden doors.

It is our contention that exterior wooden doors will and do outlast and outshine their PVC equivalent, they are without doubt more aesthetically pleasing on the eye, they are when treated properly the best buy you will make.

The interesting thing about wooden doors is that even when they have been fitted to a property for 100 years or more they can continue to function properly and when they dont they can be added to, reduced in size and different locks or draught excluders added, the same cannot be said about PVC doors, however when all is said and done a PVC door does not need any maintenance and on more modern properties or for families who are too busy with their careers they can be a better option.
