Accoya Front Doors in Swansea
Accoya Front Doors made to measure for homes across Swansea, surveyed on site and finished in the workshop before they are hung.
2 of the 5 towns we cover in Swansea are coastal, where Accoya or dense hardwood and marine-grade stainless ironmongery are the sensible specification.
The difference between a door that lasts eight years and one that lasts thirty is mostly invisible from the street: the joint type, whether the stiles are engineered, whether the bottom rail is sealed, and how the water gets away.

Common questions
What makes Accoya different?
It is softwood modified through acetylation so it barely absorbs moisture. Movement drops dramatically, coatings last far longer, and it carries a long durability warranty.
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 stone cottage?
A ledged, braced and boarded door with long strap hinges. Openings are usually low and rarely square, so the door is made to the opening as found.
Can you replace the frame as well as the door?
Yes, and often it is the better answer. A new leaf in a rotten frame will not seal properly however well the door itself is made.
Is timber a sustainable choice?
Responsibly sourced timber is the only mainstream door material that stores carbon rather than emitting it in manufacture, and a timber door can be repaired rather than replaced.
