Timber French Doors in Islington
If you are replacing a door in Islington, Timber French Doors are cut to your actual opening rather than to a nearest standard size.
Specifying a door for Islington
Islington is a relatively sheltered inland location, so the specification is driven more by how the door looks and how secure it is than by weather resistance.
Housing in and around Islington is largely Georgian and Regency townhouse stock, which suits six-panel raised-and-fielded doors set under a radial fanlight. We match the mouldings and panel proportions to what is already on the street rather than fitting a generic pattern.

Common questions
How do French doors stay weathertight?
Through a rebated meeting stile, compression seals on both leaves and a shootbolt set that pulls the slave leaf into the frame at head and cill.
What door suits a Georgian townhouse?
Six raised-and-fielded panels under a fanlight, in a painted finish. Proportion is everything: the panels step in size up the door rather than repeating equally.
How much does a timber door cost?
Guide prices start from the figures shown on each product page, supplied and fitted. The variables are size, timber, glazing and ironmongery, and the survey fixes the number.
Can a timber door be made wheelchair accessible?
Yes. A low-threshold or ramped cill can be specified without losing the weather seal, and the leaf can be widened where the structural opening allows.
Will the colour fade?
Modern microporous coatings hold colour well, though very dark colours on south-facing elevations work hardest. We will advise if a chosen colour is likely to be a maintenance burden.
Do you work on listed buildings?
Regularly. Listed building consent is a separate process from planning, and we can supply the drawings and specification your application needs.
