Description
Cardinal Oak External Doors are something really special. Hand made to a full 44mm thickness. Our skilled team make each door to your exact size requirements in our Sheffield factory. We use a mix of the latest CNC machining technology and experienced hand assembly.
Cardinal Manufacture
We manufacture the Cardinal doors to a 44mm thickness for a solid heavy door. Our professionals make the stiles and rails 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. We supply each door with a quality oak weather bar that you can fit on site.
We use super strong twin 16mm dowel joints, with a hydraulically pressed frame to make the mainframe of the door. On site, we scribe the joints using CNC profile tooling. Our specialist machine then internally beads the panels using solid oak profiled beading.
Here at Heritage, we make our Cardinal doors to meet BS644 standards. This is on the basis that an appropriate finishing system is used. We fit the door panels using a fully bedded system designed to meet BS6375. Each panel features weather gaskets to the outer face and correctly bevelled beading to help the door shed water.
Points to Note
- Oak is very sensitive to moisture variation and you must install and finish carefully to avoid problems. We recommend oak doors are fitted under a canopy or porch. For very exposed locations we strongly recommend you consider one of our Accoya doors.
- We make the doors stiles, rails and inner muntins from solid laminated oak. The central flat panels use an exterior grade cross laminated board with a prime oak veneer. The cross laminated board helps to ensure the door is more stable and has much more reduced risk of movement than inner panels made with 100% solid oak. Please contact our sales team for further details.
- We will only guarantee this door IF you choose to have the door factory finished by us. If you select unfinished, this will unfortunately mean we are unable to assist with doors that warp, twist, etc. due to moisture ingress. However, if a 3 stage end grain sealer system has been proven to be used, we will be able to assist further. A care leaflet will be provided with every door detailing the best way for the doors to be finished.
