Wooden style doors offer an authentic appearance with the modern benefits

Oak effect front and back doors bring the best of both worlds to homeowners across the South of England, as they avoid the infamous issues of old wooden doors, such as warping and twisting, and provide a low-maintenance option that is ideal for even the busiest lifestyles. With an attentive eye to detail in their appearance, wood style doors provide an identical look that cannot be distinguished from real timber, meaning they can be approved for use in conservation areas.
