Add Timeless Charm with Timber Stable Doors

Looking for an external door that complements a traditional or period property? Our handcrafted timber stable doors are the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern performance—ideal for cottages, barn conversions, farmhouses, and terraced homes.

What Are Stable Doors?

Also known as Dutch doors or half-doors, wooden stable doors can open as one solid unit or be split horizontally, allowing the top half to open independently. Originally designed for farmhouses to keep animals in and children safe, they’re now a popular choice for homeowners wanting extra ventilation and natural light, without compromising on security or style.

Using only a water-based painting system which allows timber to “breathe” and adapt to climatic changes, our finishes provide maximum protection against weathering, fungal attack and UV degradation. The water-based application significantly reduces harmful emissions and disposal issues associated with solvent based systems.

Working with our paint partner, Sikkens, we can finish in any RAL colour, stain, or match against all well known paint ranges and brands. With the ability to have different internal and external finishes, your windows and doors can be finished just as you require.

Our factory is audited quarterly to ensure that the finished product has the highest quality paint finish and performance you would expect.
