This elegant oak door is sure to be a focal point in any room and is ideal for a barn conversion/cottage renovation or any traditional property. The oak used to manufacture this door has been sourced from a sustainable saw mill in Northern France that we have worked with for many years and is kiln dried to lower the moisture content and to kill off any woodworm or other infestations. Each door will be expertly handmade to order in our workshop in Lincolnshire by our team of experienced joiners. We feel that each of our products has that unique quality and no two doors are exactly the same, tree's are like people in that each one is unique.
Description
Above diagram is not to scale
This door is a more affordable version of the fully framed mortice and tenon doors we do, it looks cosmetically and visually the same but has a slightly different construction method and is therefore not as structurally robust or durable. This is ideal for interior use or a exterior shed or side/garden gate but we wouldn't advise it to be suitable for an entrance .

Options Explained
Options Explained
- Custom sizes are available, we make everything on site to order at our workshop in Lincolnshire so we specialise in bespoke sizes, any size is possible and there is no extra charge for this service. However larger doors will be costed pro rata. Please contact a member of our team for a bespoke quotation. Any height over 2100mm is charged at an extra 5%.
- Door as standard has 3 horizontal rails, 2 stiles and 2 braces per door which form the union jack design when a pair, all of which are 21mm thick and between 100mm - 120mm wide, this is decided by us at point of manufacture unless otherwise specified. PAR (planed all round) bigger than 120mm wide is charged at £20 (+VAT).
- Door boards that are tongue and groove and slot together. These are 21mm thick and include a groove stile and a tongue stile to give you the finished edge. The boards have a V Groove applied but can square edged or Butt & Bead if preferred for no extra charge. Every door would not necessarily have 5 boards, this is determined at point of manufacture and is decided by us based on size of the door and timber available at the time (maximum board width 200mm) we can do a specific number of boards but it would need to be specified at point of order, again there is no extra charge for this service.
- We offer 2 grades of oak - Character Grade and Prime Grade, the differences are briefly described below, please ask for our info sheet if you require more information.
- Prime- Minimal knots and colour variation - Tolerance on each face of two intergrown sound knots of 12mm maximum diameter, or this equivalent per linear metre. Slope of grain: almost straight. Not acceptable: sapwood, heart spiral and curly grain deterioration, cross grain, bark pocket, bore holes, warping. Surface checks tolerated. Extra £30 (+VAT)
- Character- Colour variation and knots - Presence on each face of small knots without limitation, and of a maximum of three sound knots per metre, maximum diameter not to exceed one half of the width of the timber or 40mm or equivalent. No extra charge.
- We work closely with a company called Doormate - https://www.barn-doors.co.uk/ that sell all the relevant ironwork that work perfectly with our doors, if you quote Wittswood when placing an order you will receive a 10% discount.
- As standard all doors come unfinished but we can apply an interior oiled or a lacquered coating if preferred for an extra £60.00 (+VAT) or an exterior oil or lacquer for an extra £200 (+VAT) - this is a 2 coat system, a stain inhibitor base coat (£50+VAT on its own) and then a UV protection top coat.
- Weatherboard also available if being used externally which helps stop capillary action underneath the bottom of the door, this is an extra £23.33(+VAT) for standard size door and is calculated pro rata for a bespoke size.
- It has always been considered good practice not to apply glue to the tongue and groove joints in the boards, this is to allow for natural expansion and contraction. Glue is just applied to fit the ledges and braces and these are then screw and pelleted onto the boards.
- All our oak is kiln dried as standard which lowers the moisture content and kills off any woodworm or infestations. We can supply doors in green oak and air dried if preferred- please contact a member of our team for a price.
- Hidden metal bars are inserted at the top and bottom of the door which is not visible to the eye, the metal bar starts at 60mm from the top and 60mm up from the bottom and is 25mm wide. This helps with durability and stops the door warping or twisting.
