Farmhouse
with window option
Made to measure exterior doors to a very high standard from
well seasoned timber. Once you see the standard of our work
I am sure you will agree that our doors are far superior to
any Brico example and often for less money. Oak is a hardwood
and known for its high strength properties and its durability.
It's moisture movement is medium and it has a good density
with a medium to course texture. It can be used for heavy
structural use, cladding, exterior and interior joinery, furniture,
flooring and is an ideal material choice for exterior door
contruction. Good dry Oak or Chene as it is called here in
France has minimal movement and stability is favourable.
Prices including matching frame
- Pine / Fir 595e
- Oak 795e
- Window option 50e but glazing not included (can advise
to size and where to order the sealed unit in Limoges)
Example: Farmhouse
door made in solid oak and fully jointed with haunched tenons
and dowelled. Glazing provision is available as shown above
but an unglazed example would cost 795 euro including Oak
frame. close up detail of the above door which clearly shows
the quality of our exterior doors.

'Thank you for your kind message! And we wish you all the
best for the coming year. We certainly will think of you
often...with a fabulous door like that, now in place how
could we forget! It has been well admired and we absolutely
love it! And we shall tell everyone who made it! I don't
think you will be short of work in the future. We shall
try the glass-blower in Brantome for a bullseye finish to
the glass!!
Love to you all, S...and N...'
Hi Scrollart,
Hope you, your family and dogs are well. We just wanted
to thank you again for the made to measure door you made
for us. We love it. Please find a picture of it in situ,
and after varnishing it we noticed that it matches our windows
very well too, bonus. Off to buy some glass tomorrow. We
would be happy to recommend you and your work to anyone
in the future.
Kind regards

Although we do use machines we often pick up our Stanley
Bailey tryplane and our old 'Ward Cast Steel','Robert Sorby'
chisels to chop out haunched mortices.Our atelier (workshop)
is well kitted for any bespoke item. Machines are great but
you cannot beat the fine finish aschieved from hand tools.
We believe are doors are great value because they are low
priced compared to the large corporation based material suppliers
such as all the Brico's come DIY stores. We have found very
poor examples of doors generally too thin and using engineered
timber at prices over 1000 euros which is crazy considering
they will not last the test of time.
Any size available
We pride ourselves at providing quality traditional constructed
joinery at low prices (petit prix) and you will see on our
site many example prices but for a definate quote please enquire.

Real
Solid wood Verses Engineered
For the choice between a a solid piece of Chene / Oak and
son called engineered oak lumber is an easy one but let me
explain why I believe the real thing is always the best option.
Lets start with the asphetics of the beautiful timber. A well
seasoned length of Oak has figure and lustre compared with
the short grain or layered make up of engineered wood. Why
do the makers of this timber give it the hard sell, well in
my opinion engineered timber is made from cheaply obtained
scraps then they sell them on as a larger length of timber.
The strength in Oak is natural and has long grain which has
high tensil strength compared to engineered which relies on
glues and good manufacturing for it's durability. Engineered
timber does have it's place and good for internal applications
such as floors but be careful of engineered timber doors.
If you don't believe me then explain to me how those English
heritage solid Oak doors of times past have lasted for over
a century, 'The Proof is in the pudding' |
