Hardwood Cottage 4 Light - Ready to Glaze

Summary

About this door

The Hardwood Cottage 4 Light ready to glaze door is an ideal choice for more traditional properties. Manufactured from kiln-dried red hardwood timber, these external wooden doors have been made with every effort to ensure that all timber used for our doors comes from well-managed forests where more trees are planted than harvested.

The country-style design of these external doors means that they suit the decor of cottages and traditional properties and will create a seamless finish for your home's style.

The standard manufacture uses through Mortice and Tenon construction. All doors have beading cut, mitred and pinned.

Glazing

Various glass options are available and these glazed external doors will accept a 4/6/4 cavity double glazed unit.

Things we thought you should know!

Please be aware that any glass supplied may be temporarily glazed (loose pinned) into the door or even supplied separately. This is done to make the door easier to decorate (allows you to paint/stain behind rebates) & handle whilst hanging.

Glazing Lead Times

This door comes with the optional choice of glazing. We order the glass in especially for you, so it will add a small amount of time to the overall manufacturing lead times.

At present, most glazing options are taking between 3 - 10 working days (approx) to arrive into us.

Where available, specialist glass such as stained, leaded, or encapsulated glass can take up to 6 weeks; however, we think it's worth the wait!

It's important to factor in these lead times, as once ordered, we are unable to cancel or refund the glazing.

Decoration and Finishing - External Engineered Hardwood Doors

Supplied unfinished, these doors are able to take a stain or paint finish. A range of products would be suitable, including Impranol, which is available from the "Stains, Paints and Finishes" section of our website.

The correct storage, fitting, and finishing of your new doors are very important factors in getting the best out of your purchase.

Please always avoid the use of water-based finishing products as this may cause the door to bow, warp or delaminate. Using these types of products will invalidate your guarantee.

Before finishing your door, we would always recommend reading our Door Care information which can be viewed by clicking here, along with any additional manufacturer's documentation supplied with the door itself.

What is Engineered Timber?

These doors are manufactured using laminated veneered lumber (LVL). LVL or more commonly known as “engineered timber” is a modern method of construction that is economical with the use of natural timber resources.

The main parts & rails of the door are usually constructed using solid strips/blocks of timber (some internals may contain a laminated board and/or particleboard), which are then glued and then clamped together.

They are then faced with a veneer and edged with a solid timber “lipping”. The benefits of using engineered construction doors over more traditional methods are that it is far more unlikely to twist or split (we do not get problems with panels splitting) and possibly the most important reason is that it is much more eco-friendly!
