Doors
Whether it's internal or external doors, nothing is out of the question. Each door is carefully made, from timber selection to finishing, and produced to higher than the industry standard. Our doors typically start at 60mm thick (for our exterior doors) and can go all the way up to 90mm within our standard range.
We also offer full kits with our doors. These kits involve door jamb, hardware and finish all pre hung in the factory for a quick and easy installation on site!
As the materials used for our doors are unique, the door will never have an identical twin!
Below is a list of standard types of doors we do, all of which can be changed for your design.
Doors
Entry Door
Barn Doors
For internal Barn doors our standard thickness is 45mm - 65mm
For external used Barn doors our standard thickness is 45mm - 90mm, much like our Entry doors.
A door thinner or thicker than our standard is possible, but will need to be discussed in early design phase.

Finishes
Types of finishes we specialise in!
Raw/ Brushed/ Sanded
Raw finishes are great if you are trying to achieve an aged - silvered look, or want to finish the door yourself.
Unfortunately, if left unattended for to long, this could lead to one side of the door drying out faster then the other, and creating a bow or twist. For this reason, we recommend applying a light preseverative oil as a minimum.

Presevered Oil
A great way to maintained brighten the timber. Our standard product is the Feast Watson range of external cladding oils in either; Natural or Black.
To help cut the brightness of the Natural and reduce the darkness of the black, we have also offer a 50/50 mix that add the warmth of the timber and highlights the grain.
We can also use the Cutek range, for a green toned oil, so we don't have to worry about the warmth from Natural

Osmo Oil
Osmo can be used for internal and external uses, and is still our number one clear finish option, thanks to its soft and velvety feel.
As Osmo is made from natural oils, such as; Linseed, carnauba, candeilla, sunflower, soybean, thistle and mixed with waxes, it is deemed food safe and can be used in our Benchtop range too.

Stain
Toning or recolouring timber to suit the house without breaking the budget.
Most of the time staining would only be recommended if a timber is either two weak in colour for the room, or not brown enough.
If we are to colour match to something that is pre-existing, we would start off with the correct timber tone (timber either has a warm tone, i.e. red, pink, or a cool tone i.e. green)

Acrylic Clear
Unlike the oil finishes, acrylic is designed be a protective film over the timber. Giving it a synthetic feel.
Acrylic is great for trying to keep the colour of the timber without darkening, tinting or yellowing straight away. Unfortunately, over time, the clear will yellow.
Maintenance for Acrylic clears, typically involves sanding the old coat off the timber and re applying. This Process can take up to a few days to complete. This process will need to be repeated if clear starts to crack or peel away, typically happens after 2-3 years.

White Liming
For a Scandinavian, sleek modern look, white liming on American oak is a no brainer. To really get the full effective of the white liming we start off with wire brushing the timber, to really pronounce the grain, and wipe on and off the liming mix.
We can do a white lime for interior and exterior, just keep in mind that the more pronounced the grain structure before wire brushing, better the liming effect will be.
To seal the timber we finish it in an acrylic clear.

Black Wash
Darkening and ageing timber before time has had a chance to. Trying to create an aged finished in a controlled environment is always difficult, and can look as if it's manufactured.
Our wash for doors is similar to the process of white liming, and as a result gives you a unique finish.
To finish off our Black wash and preserve it, we add a clear Acrylic.

Rustic
Taking the weathered and aged timber from railway sleepers and wharfs, we are able to salvage and use the timber for our Entry doors.
To keep the rustic and weathered look of the timber, we start off with cleaning them of all residue of its previous life, dig out all spikes, nails or barnacles, and clean up with the wire brush removing all dirt and critters.
Once the door is assembled and ready for delivery, we seal it with the preservative oil, in either a 50/50 mix or just Natural.

Charred
Traditional Shou Sugi Ban or Yakisugi has recently been picked back up by architects, and we can see why.
Traditionally to do a Yakisugi finish, the timber originally chosen would be Cypress and charred to help prevent Decay, insect infiltration and increase resistance to fire. As we don't work with Cypress normally, we can not guarantee the finish will share the same benefits.
We can also use a charred effect paint, (image attached above) or actually char the timber. If we do char the timber, we seal it with a clear to help prevent black soot transferring to everything and everyone who walks by it.

Bleached - Beach
Extreme blonde or even drift wood-esk.
Bleaching the timber is a bit of an unknown on how much of the original colour we can pull out. Typically we are always left with a slightly pale yellow colour in the timber, and can't bleach to a white. To take the yellow edge off the bleached timber, we add a watered down custom liming mix to either make the timber grey, white or even darker than normal.
Every job will require a finishing sample with the timber used on your door to finalise tones and get an idea on how the bleach will react with the timber.

Painted
Bold colours or even subtle ones can add to the value of an item. Whether it's a piece of furniture or entry door, the finish is crucial.
With no limit on colours, we have a dedicated team ready to finish in either a water/oil base enamel, or acrylic. It all depends on the application.
