A faithful 1930s design in solid oak: a large single panel across the top third of the door above three long vertical panels, made to match the character of homes built between the 1920s and 1940s. About the 1930's Oak Door The 1930's door takes its cue from period joinery, with one large panel covering the top third and three tall vertical panels filling the rest. It is a fully solid design with no glazing, ideal where you want the warmth and privacy of solid oak, and it sits naturally alongside internal doors of the same era. If you would prefer a version with a glazing aperture for your own glass, see the 1930's unglazed version. Handcrafted solid oak Each door is made to order in the UK from hand-selected, prime-grade European solid oak, chosen so the timber is free of defects and shows the best grain and colour, which means no two doors are quite alike. It is built using traditional twin 16mm hardwood dowel joints, one of the oldest and strongest ways of assembling a door, then finished with modern tooling and adhesives. The door is 44mm thick, available in four standard sizes, and can be made to bespoke sizes on request. It comes complete with a matching oak weather bar. Finishing & Care This door arrives prefinished and ready to hang, professionally finished to bring out the oak's natural tone and grain. Like any external oak door, it is best fitted in a sheltered spot, under a porch or canopy, rather than fully exposed to driving rain or strong sun. Timber is a natural material and can move a little as it settles into its surroundings; the occasional minor adjustment is a normal part of looking after a solid oak door. Although supplied prefinished, this door should be re-coated roughly every six months with a suitable external treatment such as the Impranol range, and kept dry through the use of a canopy or similar.
