Our Premium Timber Selection

We offer four distinct, high-performance timbers, each selected for its durability, grain character, and suitability for the London climate.

Accoya® Wood

The gold standard for stability. Virtually rot-proof with a 50-year guarantee. Perfect for painted finishes.

European Oak

Immense strength and prestigious grain. The traditional choice for luxury heritage French doors.

Sapele

A dense, reddish hardwood. Provides a glass-smooth paint finish and superior natural rot resistance.

Douglas Fir

Favoured by architects for its strength-to-weight ratio. A stable, beautiful choice for bespoke sets.

Why We Recommend Accoya® for London French Doors

External doors face the brunt of the UK weather. While traditional softwoods can swell and stick, Accoya® wood is modified to the core for incredible dimensional stability. This means your doors won't warp in the winter or shrink in the summer. It is virtually rot-proof, sustainable, and carries a 50-year warranty against decay, making it the ultimate choice for long-term value.

Timber French Door FAQs

Expert answers for London homeowners considering a bespoke installation.

Which timber is best for my French doors?

It depends on your goals. Accoya® offers the absolute lowest maintenance. European Oak provides traditional prestige, while Sapele and Douglas Fir offer incredible durability and strength. We recommend the best timber based on your property's needs during our survey.
Are French doors secure enough for ground-floor installations?

Absolutely. Security is our priority for London homes. Every door we install features a High-Security Multipoint Locking System and internal glazing beads (which prevent glass from being removed from the outside), meeting PAS 24 standards.
Can you match the style of my original Victorian sash windows?

Yes. As bespoke joiners, we specialise in Heritage Replication. We can match the exact glazing bar widths and moulding profiles of your original windows to ensure your new doors feel like an original part of the house.
What is the typical lead time for a bespoke timber door?

From the final design approval and technical survey, the typical lead time is 8 to 12 weeks. This ensures each piece of timber is precision-cut and factory-finished to our master-joinery standards.
