Timber Back Doors in Glenrothes
We make and fit Timber Back Doors throughout Glenrothes — measured properly, built from timber chosen for the exposure, and adjusted once they are in.
Specifying a door for Glenrothes
Glenrothes 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 Glenrothes is largely recent estate and mixed modern stock, which suits square-cut contemporary doors with a long vertical glazed light. We match the mouldings and panel proportions to what is already on the street rather than fitting a generic pattern.

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.
What door suits a modern estate house?
A square-cut contemporary door with a long vertical glazed light, usually in a factory-sprayed colour. Timber gives a warmth that composite doors on the same street do not have.
What timber do you use?
Engineered redwood for painted doors, dense hardwoods such as sapele or idigbo where more strength is wanted, European oak where the grain is the point, and Accoya on exposed and coastal openings.
Can you match an existing door?
Yes. We take the mouldings, panel proportions and glazing pattern from the original and reproduce them. If the door is beyond saving we can still copy it before it goes.
How secure is a timber door?
A well-built timber door with a multipoint lock and reinforced keeps is at least as secure as a composite equivalent. The lock and the frame fixings matter more than the leaf material.
Do I need building regulations approval?
Replacing a door like-for-like usually does not need approval, but the new door must meet current thermal and safety-glazing standards. We specify to comply as standard.
