Material Options

We offer back doors in several timbers to suit different budgets, aesthetics and functions:

• Hemlock external doors provide a smooth-grained veneer, ideal for painting in a colour of your choice. 

• Hardwood back doors feature durable hardwood veneers over a solid core, offering excellent strength and wear resistance.

• Oak external back doors showcase a classic veneer with a distinctive grain pattern that adds natural charm.

Whether you prefer the modern resilience of composite or the organic feel of oak, our choice of materials ensures a perfect match for your property.

Unique Back Door Styles

We offer three distinct types of back doors for various sizing requirements:

• Single door: Ideal for most homes, offering easy access and a clean look with a variety of panelled door designs.

• Double doors: Perfect for wider spaces, these back doors create a grander entrance while maximising airflow when open.

• Stable door: Split horizontally so the top and bottom operate independently, stable doors invite fresh ventilation while keeping children or pets secure.

Glazing Options 

The high-quality construction of our external rear doors provides excellent insulation, while integrated glazing further improves your home’s energy efficiency. 

Choose from five stylish glass designs to balance natural light and privacy:

• Unglazed: Ready for your custom glass or solid fill.

• Clear: Simple, transparent glass to let in natural light.

• Bevelled: Decorative angled glass edges for a subtle, elegant touch.

• Designer: Patterned glass for a distinctive look.

• Reeded: Vertical textured glass that lets in plenty of natural light while creating a subtle decorative finish.

FAQs About Our Back Doors

Find answers to frequently asked questions about our back doors for sale.

How do I choose the best back door for my home?

Choosing external rear doors involves balancing daily functionality with your property’s specific layout and security needs. To find a style that suits your needs, consider whether to prioritise easy access to the garden or maximum security for a side entrance. 

When choosing back door styles, important factors to consider include:

• Veneer material: Choose from oak, hemlock or hardwood, opting for pre-finished for speed or unfinished to apply your own custom coating.

• Functional needs: Since stable doors and double doors offer different levels of accessibility, consider your available space and airflow preferences. 

• Glazing and safety: Large glass panels brighten darker kitchens, while smaller apertures or solid panels are safer and offer greater privacy in secluded areas. 

What’s the difference between timber & composite doors?

The main difference lies in the materials used and how each external door is manufactured. Ultimately, making the best choice is about finding the right balance for your home: 

• Classic timber doors are made from a single source, offering organic authenticity and quality.

• Composite doors combine timber, uPVC and a durable laminate skin to provide a robust, weatherproof barrier.

Available in various colours, composite designs offer a low-maintenance alternative that won’t warp or rot like traditional wood.

How do I measure for a new back door?

As we do not offer installations, getting the right fit is simple when you follow specialist guidance from experts in DIY, trade and bulk orders.

To measure accurately:

1. Always record the width and height of the brickwork opening, not the old frame.

2. Take three horizontal measurements (top, middle and bottom).

3. Take three vertical measurements and use the smallest dimension as your final specification. 

This approach ensures your new back door has enough space to operate without sticking. We provide exclusive in-house designs and standard systems you won't find anywhere else, guaranteeing your project's success.

Working with tricky dimensions? Contact our team for specialist advice. While many homes use standard sizes, our bespoke expertise enables us to provide made-to-measure solutions in a range of colours. Whatever you want, we can do it!

Do your back doors come with a guarantee?

Yes, most of our external doors come with a 12-month guarantee; however, the specific terms and conditions vary by product. Bespoke options usually have different ordering, cancellation and return policies. 

Tip: Check the information on the specific product you’re interested in purchasing.

How do I maintain external back doors?

Keeping your external doors looking great requires a simple maintenance routine to ensure the build quality remains intact for a more secure home:

1. Wipe down the door with a soft, lint-free cloth and warm, soapy water to prevent dust and grit buildup. 

2. Avoid abrasive chemical cleaners or power washers, as these can damage the finish and force moisture into the core.

3. Check for thinning or cracked paint every few years, then sand back and reapply a fresh coat on dry days to preserve the design.

4. Check your weather-stripping annually, and if the rubber seal is flattened or torn, replace it to maintain thermal efficiency. 

5. Apply a quick drop of oil on hinges and locks to keep the door operating smoothly and securely.
