Options Explained

1. 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. We just charge £11.99 (+ VAT) for every 100mm in width it is over standard size and any height over 2100mm is charged at an extra 5%. 
2. All ledges, braces and stiles are 21mm thick and between 100mm - 120mm wide, this is decided by us at point of manufacture unless otherwise specified.  Anything bigger than 120mm wide is charged at £20 (+VAT). 
3. Door boards 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.
4. 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.
   1. 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)
   2. 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.
5. 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. 
6. As standard all doors come unfinished but we can apply an interior oiled or a lacquered coating if preferred for an extra £37.50 (+VAT) or an exterior oil or lacquer for an extra £100 (+VAT) - this is a 2 coat system, a stain inhibitor base coat and then a UV protection top coat.
7. 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 and bolts are placed in each board across the width of the rails to add extra strength.  
8. We do also a weatherboard for the doors, this helps stops capillary action underneath the bottom of the door, these are priced at £23.33 (+VAT) each.
9. 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.
