4 Panel Glazed Manufacture
We manufacture the 4 Panel Glazed doors in our Sheffield factory. We use a prime grade of white oak, specially selected to suit external doors. Most of the timber will be clear however you will find the occasional knot in the door which helps to emphasize the doors solid oak construction. Heritage can supply this door unglazed to allow you to add your choice of glazing on site. We rebate the door to suit 18mm thick sealed unit double glazing. Also, solid oak glazing beads are supplied with the door. The lower panels are made with solid oak sections. We make the door as a shaker style with flat oak panels.
The doors are manufactured to a 44mm thickness for a solid heavy door. The stiles and rails are made by laminating together two 22mm sections of solid oak. Laminating the sections in this way makes the door much more structurally stable than using a single piece of oak. All laminations are done in house so that we can control the quality.
We use twin dowel joints, which are wedged and hydraulically pressed to make the mainframe of the door. This is a traditional method that results in a much stronger construction than the more common dowelled joints and means you can be sure your door is made to last.
All our exterior 4mm doors are handcrafted to each order. The typical lead time is around 3-4 weeks on these oak external doors
Points to Note
- We recommend fitting these doors under a canopy or porch if your property is exposed to lots of wind driven rain (i.e. seafront properties)
- A care leaflet will be provided with every door detailing the best way for the doors to be finished. These instructions MUST be followed in order for us to resolve cases of solid oak movement within your door.
- The doors are made from solid oak however the flat panels used are cross laminated with an oak veneer. The cross lamination is to ensure the door is more stable and has much more reduced risks of movement than a door made with 100% solid oak. Please contact our sales team for further details.
