Description

In our Sheffield factory, we manufacture this Mexicano Glazed door to your exact dimensions in a choice of either 44mm or 56mm thickness.  All doors can be purchased with a range of options, up to a fully finished doorset with all hardware pre-fitted and and prefinishing completed in the factory.

Mexicano Glazed Door Manufacture

The central section of the Mexicano Glazed door is manufactured with grooves to create a look similar to a very popular 5 panel Mexicano style.  For external doors these grooves feature radiused edges so that we can apply finishes to the correctly specified thickness. This would be impossible with sharp edges.

Our Mexicano glazed door looks the same on both sides and is an extremely heavy and substantial exterior door. Our state of the art 5 axis machining centre (equipped with the latest tooling) accurately machines each component. This allows us to to produce an exceptional quality door made to BS644 standards.

Mexicano Glazed Door Timber Options

• Our engineered oak door is our most competitively priced door and also meets the requirements of UK Building Regulations Part L.  The door has an overall U value of 1.0 w/M2K.  A specific value can be provided where the customer chooses the doorset option but in almost all cases would pass the required 1.4w/M2k.  The door is manufactured with a hardwood cross laminated core, with oak veneer face and oak lippings.  Perfect for either painting or staining.
• Solid oak doors have a solid oak frame with a composite centre panel to resist the door warping.  These doors look superb when stained or clear coated and give that traditional hand made feel.  44mm doors feature twin dowel joints, whilst 56mm doors have traditional mortice and tenon joints.
• Accoya doors use a specially treated timber and are ideal for severe weather applications, where your door is likely to be subjected to direct wind driven rain.  Perfect for painting, the timber comes with a 50 year guarantee!

Mexicano Glazed Door Glass

These Mexicano glazed doors come with clear double glazed units prefitted into a glazed shape opening with solid beading.

44mm doors have a 14mm thick unit whilst 56mm doors feature a 24mm unit. All glass is toughened for safety.

Mexicano Glazed Door Finishing

Please select our high performance multi stage finish for a 5 year guarantee.  Unfortunately we cannot guarantee unfinished doors for problems caused by moisture ingress as we cannot control the quality of finish. This is a crucial element in the performance of your door. When you choose our pre-finishing service your door will undergo an extensive multistage process that results in a finish that cannot be replicated by on site finishing

Finishing Process

Your new Mexicano Glazed door will be finished where appropriate in component form. This means that all surfaces of the door are thoroughly sealed, even those that are hidden once the door is assembled. For doorsets, all hardware is fitted. It is then removed to ensure that all areas underneath hardware receive the same thorough finish.

• Firstly, the door is end grained sealed using a special sealant product, which dramatically reduces moisture uptake
• The second stage is an industrial primer coat and pore sealer helping to equalise colour variation
• Finally 2 top coats are applied which create a high performance finish which protects against weathering, UV degradation, mould and fungal attack.  Between each coat the door is sanded and inspected.

Why is finishing important?

If you choose to have your door unfinished, when you receive the door it should be checked for fit. We cannot overstate how important it is to properly finish timber external doors to provide satisfactory service. All timber will expand and contract as it gains and loses moisture. That’s why your door can take on moisture and expand in winter weather. Thoroughly finishing the door will slow this movement to a minimum.

Aftercare

It is extremely common to find timber doors that have not been finished properly. Almost always, it is in difficult to reach places such as underneath the door. Even with thorough finishing often timber doors can require minor planing in the first couple of seasons. You should always follow a good maintenance programme with oak exterior doors, refinishing them as necessary.

Mexicano Glazed Door Guarantee

Mexicano Glazed Door Guarantee Conditions

Guarantees are offered based on correct installation, finishing and maintenance procedures. Guarantees may be withdrawn where appropriate in instances where correct procedures have not been followed.

Doors must be fitted in an appropriate location. For coastal or areas where high wind load/wind driven rain are expected, Accoya should be fitted. In adverse locations, solid timber doors can degrade at an accelerated rate. this is not a manufacturing defect. Oak doors should always be fitted under a porch or canopy that prevents regular exposure to rain. Where this is not possible then Accoya should always be specified and fitted.

Solid oak doors that are supplied unfinished are not covered under our guarantee.
