Cottage Timber Doors in Ammanford
If you are replacing a door in Ammanford, Cottage Timber Doors are cut to your actual opening rather than to a nearest standard size.
Specifying a door for Ammanford
Ammanford sees a normal share of west-coast weather without the salt load of a seafront opening. Engineered stiles and a properly sealed bottom rail handle it comfortably.
Housing in and around Ammanford is largely stone and rendered cottage stock, which suits ledged, braced and boarded doors with a plank face and long strap hinges. We match the mouldings and panel proportions to what is already on the street rather than fitting a generic pattern.

Common questions
What is a ledged and braced door?
Vertical boards held by horizontal ledges with diagonal braces running from the bottom hinge corner upward, which stops the door dropping. The brace must run the right way or it does nothing.
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.
How energy efficient is a timber door?
A modern insulated timber door with a sealed unit performs comparably to composite alternatives, and timber itself is a far poorer conductor than aluminium or steel.
What finish options are there?
Factory spray in any RAL or heritage colour, translucent stains, and natural oils on oak. All applied and cured in controlled conditions before the door ships.
Do you remove the old door?
Yes, and we take it away. If the frame is sound we can hang into it; if it has rotted at the foot we will say so at survey rather than after.
Can you supply just the door leaf?
Yes, if the existing frame is sound and correctly sized. We will check it at survey — hanging a new leaf in a failed frame wastes the door.
