LEADING UK TIMBER DOOR SUPPLIERS

Internal timber doors depend for their support on the strength and fixity of the frame or lining, for the tightness of their fit on the position of the stop, whether it is integral with the timber door frame or fitted loose in a lining, and for the effective operation of the latch. Frames for timber doors were traditionally fixed to the partition with cut nails driven into wooden slips placed in the mortar joint; these fixings can deteriorate over the years. Linings for timber doors may be one piece in thin partitions, but in thicker ones may be split, sometimes containing panelling in the reveals.
For new construction, hinged timber door sets are increasingly being specified complete with timber door frame. This is becoming more important in relation to sound and fire performance.
Jeld Wen UK is a leading supplier of
timber doors. Their range of internal timber doors include natural solid wood
and real wood veneer doors; flush doors with wood veneer surfaces; and a
pine/panel collection including traditional and contemporary designs in hardwood
and softwood. All doors are available in glazed and fire resistant versions.
Jeld Wen's external timber doors are available in natural solid hardwood and
