About this door

These Pitch Pine Downham doors are a simply styled range with a distinctly nostalgic flavour. Ideal for anyone striving to give there home an authentic period look. In order to recreate the attractive and highly desirable aesthetics of a by gone era, this range incorporates some traditional craftsman type construction methods, including Mortice & Tenon joints in solid pitch pine, extra wide bottom and mid rails. These doors are based on traditional door styles.

Glazing

These doors can be supplied with optional feature glass pack (as shown in the photo).

Finishing

These doors come ready to finish and can either be stained or painted. Our recommendation for a natural, clear finish would be to use a Treatex hardwax oil.

Things we thought you may need to know!

Please be aware that any glass supplied may be temporarily glazed (loose pinned) into the door or even supplied separate. This is done to make the door easier to decorate (allows you to paint/stain behind rebates) & handle whilst hanging.

These doors are manufactured using LVL (Laminated Veneered Lumber). LVL or more commonly known as “engineered timber” is a modern method of construction that is economical with the use of natural timber resources. The main parts & rails of the door are usually constructed using solid strips/blocks of timber (some internals may contain a laminated board and/or particleboard), which are then glued and then clamped together. They are then faced with a veneer and edged with a solid timber “lipping”. The benefits of using engineered construction doors over more traditional methods are; The door has a much more uniform look (no mismatched colours/panels, everything matches), It is far more unlikely to twist, split (we do not get problems with panels splitting) and possibly the most important reason is that it is much more Eco friendly!
