Timber Back Doors in Isle of Wight
Timber Back Doors made to measure for homes across Isle of Wight, surveyed on site and finished in the workshop before they are hung.
8 of the 8 towns we cover in Isle of Wight are coastal, where Accoya or dense hardwood and marine-grade stainless ironmongery are the sensible specification.
A timber door is a structural component that happens to be decorative. Get the species, the finish and the weatherbar right and it will outlast anything moulded; get them wrong and it will swell, drop and stick within a couple of winters.

Common questions
Does a back door need the same specification as the front?
Usually more. Back doors are often on the weather side, get harder use and see wetter conditions from the garden.
Does sea air really affect a timber door?
Yes, in two ways. Salt is hygroscopic so it holds moisture against the surface, and airborne chloride corrodes standard ironmongery quickly. Both are solvable at specification stage.
Which ironmongery survives salt air?
Grade A4 (marine) stainless steel. Standard A2 stainless and lacquered brass both fail within a few years within about a mile of open water.
What door suits a 1930s semi?
A three-panel door with a wide glazed head, often leaded in a sunburst or geometric pattern. The glazed area is proportionally larger than on a Victorian door.
What is engineered timber and why use it?
Engineered stiles are laminated from several sections with the grain alternated, so the door resists twisting far better than a solid section of the same size. Under paint it is the more stable choice.
Do you fit as well as supply?
Both. Most customers take supply and fit, which keeps the guarantee in one place. Supply-only is available if you have your own joiner.
