Timber French Doors in Morecambe
Timber French Doors made to measure for homes across Morecambe, surveyed on site and finished in the workshop before they are hung.
Specifying a door for Morecambe
Morecambe sits on the coast, so doors here deal with salt-laden air as well as rain. Salt is hygroscopic — it holds moisture against the surface long after the weather has passed — which is why standard softwood and standard ironmongery both fail early within about a mile of open water.
Housing in and around Morecambe is largely Victorian terraced and villa stock, which suits four-panel doors with a bolection moulding and an etched or obscured upper light. 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.
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.
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.
What door suits a Victorian terrace?
A four-panel door with a bolection moulding and an etched or obscured upper light. Stile widths matter — narrow modern stiles make the proportions look wrong immediately.
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.
