Bespoke Exterior Doors

Our Range of Bespoke External Doors

Taking inspiration from the past, this beautiful range of period doors was designed with expert craftsmanship for modern-day living.

Crafted from strong timbers and combined with solid construction, these external doors have been created by our in-house team to give your property a stunning entrance and matching security. Here’s an overview of the exquisite items in our collection:

Versatile Types of External Doors

Our bespoke doors come in two categories:  

• Panel: These doors feature raised or recessed mouldings, replicating classic Victorian and Georgian styles, and giving your entrance character and depth.

• Glazed: For those who want to allow more light into their living space, glazed doors incorporate glass inserts, striking a balance between security and aesthetics.

For Heritage single doors, we supply the mouldings which surround the panels for the outside of the flat exterior panel. The internal side of the panels features a bevelled profile. The traditional range doesn't feature mouldings as its panels are raised, with bevelled beading on the inside. Double Heritage French external doors feature mouldings on both the interior and exterior of the panels.

Unique Style Choices

These made-to-measure doors feature styles usually associated with the Victorian Period. Red Grandis engineered timber with DKD rail construction and "Antibend" stiles. Doors from the Victorian period were mostly painted in colours such as red, green, blue, black and white.

We also offer a range of configurations to meet your expectations, including single doors, double doors, and doors with side screens or transoms. The combinations allow you to adapt your front entrance design to your home’s architectural needs and lighting preferences.

Glazing Options for Your Preferences

Any doors with a glazing requirement have been machined to accept double glazing. We offer glazed bespoke doors in four glass types: Stippolyte, Minster, Clear, and Contora.

Made-to-Measure Door Sizes 

Please note that all dimensions are based on our overall size, as shown in the images, but these are provided for guidance only. We must be allowed the freedom to alter individual dimensions, providing you with a product that looks good and has a craftsman's eye for "balance".

When ordering, you can specify exact measurements rather than being constrained to stock sizes. Single bespoke door thicknesses are typically 45 mm, which is a standard, sturdy thickness. French (double) bespoke doors are 57mm, which provides extra strength and insulation.

FAQs about our Bespoke Doors

Let’s answer some important questions about our bespoke options:

What Are the Benefits of Bespoke Doors? 

A few reasons to opt for our made-to-measure external doors include:

• Perfect fit: Bespoke doors are made to your exact dimensions, ensuring no awkward gaps, misaligned frames, or the need to force standard sizes to work. 

• Design freedom: You have the opportunity to choose from various styles, glazing options, finishes, hardware, and more. This flexibility allows you to create a door that’s tailored to your home’s character.  

• Enhanced insulation: Because made-to-measure exterior doors seal tightly without gaps, they can better resist drafts, noise, and heat loss. 

• Long-term durability: Bespoke doors are typically constructed with superior materials and joinery, ensuring meticulous attention to detail. 

• Solutions for unique spaces: Custom doors can be tailored to irregular openings, heritage buildings, unusual architecture, and other non-standard homes.

Do You Deliver Your Doors?

Yes, all glass-fitted external bespoke doors come with free delivery and are manufactured with toughened safety glass.

Note: Bespoke doors can’t be cancelled or refunded after ordering.

Do You Offer Installation Services?

No. While we don’t install doors, our team can provide expert advice on the installation process. All our bespoke period doors are supplied without finished decoration, and we recommend seeking professional assistance to ensure proper installation and the doors' longevity.

Please don’t arrange any tradesmen until the goods have arrived, been checked over for damage, and are suitable for installation as you intended. Courier delays due to illness, traffic issues or product damage can also impact your arrangements. Wood products will have a naturally occurring grain pattern, which will vary regardless of the veneer type. This is the beauty of wood. We cannot be held liable for any consequential costs should you arrange an early installation, the courier be delayed, or the grain be wavy/straight and not to your liking.
