Timber Sliding Patio Doors in Morningside
If you are replacing a door in Morningside, Timber Sliding Patio Doors are cut to your actual opening rather than to a nearest standard size.
Specifying a door for Morningside
Morningside 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 Morningside 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
What is lift-and-slide?
Turning the handle lifts the sash off its seals onto rollers, so it glides. Releasing it drops the sash back down and compresses the seals, which is why it holds weather far better than a simple slider.
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.
Can I see a sample before ordering?
Timber and finish samples are available so you can see the colour on the actual species in your own light, which rarely matches a printed chart.
What if I only want a repair?
Then we quote a repair. Splicing a bottom rail, easing a dropped leaf or replacing a failed cill is often the right answer on a door worth keeping.
How long does a made-to-measure timber door take?
Most doors run six to ten weeks from survey to fitting, depending on the specification and the finish. Repairs and re-hangs are usually inside three weeks. We confirm dates at survey rather than guessing at enquiry stage.
Will a timber door swell and stick?
Timber moves with humidity, which is why clearances, sealed end grain and a breathable finish matter. A door made to the correct moisture content and finished on all six faces stays workable through the seasons.
