Specifying a door for Bridge of Allan
Bridge of Allan 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 Bridge of Allan 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
What makes a door authentically Victorian?
Four panels with the upper pair taller, a bolection moulding standing proud of the panel face, and stiles wide enough to look right — usually 115mm or more.
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 do you price glazing?
By area and specification. Obscure and etched glass costs more than clear; leaded and stained panels are priced per panel once the pattern is agreed.
What is the difference between a door and a doorset?
A doorset is the leaf, frame, seals and ironmongery supplied together and pre-hung. It fits faster and performs more predictably than parts assembled on site.
Do you handle planning applications?
We do not submit on your behalf, but we produce the elevational drawings, sections and specification that conservation and planning officers ask for.
What about draughts around the frame?
Compression seals in the rebate handle the leaf; the gap between frame and structure is a separate job, insulated and sealed on fitting rather than filled with expanding foam alone.
