- Low aluminium thresholds are widely specified, with many pathways offering around 19mm clearance for practical day-to-day access.
- Optional 44mm sub-sole and cill-extension routes can help accommodate differing internal floor levels and entrance detailing.
- Glazing pathways typically include 28mm toughened Low-E options, with exact glass build-up confirmed at final specification stage.
- PAS 24 and Document Q focused hardware packages can be scoped, including laminated glass requirements where system testing calls for it.
- Colour planning can include standard RAL routes plus stain finishes and dual-finish options depending on the chosen door build.
- Optional astragal bar upgrades are available on selected designs for a stronger traditional timber-door appearance.
- Typical maximum size guidance can reach around 1040mm x 2400mm for single doors and 2000mm x 2400mm for double doors, subject to system and configuration.
Final thermal, security and sizing performance is confirmed at survey and technical sign-off stage once the exact doorset, glazing and hardware package is agreed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions on timber door materials, specification options, security and installation planning.
What are the main advantages of modern timber doors?
Modern timber doors combine authentic visual character with current sealing, glazing and hardware options, helping homeowners balance appearance, comfort and security.
Are timber doors only suitable for period properties?
No. Timber doors can suit both period and contemporary homes depending on panel design, glazing pattern and final finish. We tailor recommendations to your elevation and style priorities.
How much maintenance do timber doors typically need?
Maintenance depends on finish type and exposure. During survey we explain practical upkeep cycles and help you compare timber with alternative-to-timber routes if low maintenance is a priority.
Can timber doors meet modern security expectations?
Yes. Timber doors can be configured with multi-point locking, reinforced hardware, laminated glazing and PAS 24-focused pathways where project requirements call for them.
What sizes are available for timber single and double doors?
Specification ranges vary by system, but common guidance can reach around 1040mm x 2400mm for single doors and around 2000mm x 2400mm for double doors. Final sizing is confirmed at survey.
Do I need planning permission to replace a timber door?
Many like-for-like door replacements are permitted development, but listed buildings and conservation areas may require consent. We can help review this before installation.
How long does a timber door project usually take?
Lead times vary by door design, glazing and finish. After survey, we provide a clear schedule from final specification through installation and handover.
