 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.

Customer Quote

'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'
