A traditional cottage top for a stable door, with a small feature window that balances light and privacy, part of our solid oak stable door system. About the Cottage Stable Top The cottage top brings all the charm of a traditional cottage door to the stable style, with a small feature window that lets light in while keeping a sense of privacy, ideal for cottages and rustic homes. The glazing is not supplied, so you can choose a panel to match your home. Pair it with the Solid Oak Stable Base to build a full stable door. Solid oak construction Like all our solid oak external doors, the cottage top is built around a solid oak outer frame joined with the strongest traditional mortice and tenon joints for maximum stability. At 44mm thick and solid oak throughout, not a veneer over a core, it is supplied sanded but unfinished, ready to seal in a finish that suits your home. Glazing The small feature window is supplied unglazed, so you choose the glass to suit your home; the 44mm oak is thick enough to take a full 20mm double-glazed unit for better energy efficiency. Confirm the exact aperture once your top has arrived before ordering your glass. Stable door features Every stable door comes with a 1" rebate as standard and is identical on both faces, so the finished door can open inwards or outwards. Sizes Made to suit a standard 78 x 33 stable door, with bespoke made-to-measure sizes available, just contact our sales team. Finishing & Care Made from solid oak, these doors are best fitted in a sheltered spot, under a porch or canopy, rather than in areas fully exposed to direct rain or hot sun. As they're supplied unfinished, protect yours with a treatment made for external use; we recommend the Impranol range for external doors. Oak Weather Bar We also supply an Oak Weatherbar to match the door, which will be required should the door be "open to the elements". Sold separately, as not everyone will need one, for example if your door is situated within an enclosed porch. Click here for Oak Weatherbars. Our external doors must be treated before being hung, retreated every six months and kept dry at all times through the use of a canopy or similar. For full guidelines, please visit our External Door Protection Page. Key Product Information 100% solid oak: real oak throughout, not a veneer.
