Mortise & Tenon construction is two pieces of timber, one of which has been carved to form a 'peg'. The other has had a mortise hole machined out. The tenon is then glued and placed into the mortice hole. This technique has been used to make doors to withstand severe weather conditions, making it far superior than other techniques.

Dowelled contruction doors are made using seperate components such as, stiles, head rail, bottom rail, etc. These are then joined by bore holes & fluted dowels, which are glued and inserted into the dowel holes.

Feature mouldings are machined or carved beads fix to the face of the door, these are placed around the glass panels or raised & fielded panels, to give a traditional look to the door.

Yes, by law we are required to supply any door with glass to be toughened. The kite mark is stamped on each panel of glass to represent the British Standard.

We would advise that if you are hanging an external door that you use an oil based branded stain such as Sadolin or Sikkens woodstain. You must apply at least 3 coats to the interior and exterior sides of the door. All edges, hinge & lock cut outs must be treated to protect against water ingress.  If using an internal door you can use either an oil based stain or wax. Apply as per the instructions above. We do not recommend the use of any oils (e.g. Danish, Rustic) as this is a colourant rather than a preservitive. For any other questions please call our sales team.
