Technical advantages and options we recommend:

for French doors, back doors and side doors; we have two options of cill types: choose from either a timber cill with an aluminium top for drainage channels or a low aluminium threshold suitable for disabled access. We always highly recommend the low aluminium threshold cill as it is a much lower step so you are less likely to trip over it and it is also more durable and wear resistant. Obviously this is also useful for disabled access. Here you can see both options, drawing 1 is with timber and drawing 2 is what we recommend, without timber. Dimensions are available in our technical drawings below.
here you can see a brochure of the special adjustable hinges we use 3D adjustable butt hinges.

Why Wood Back Doors and Side Doors are the Best Option for Your Home

Back doors and side doors made from wood can be an attractive addition to any home. Not only do they provide an extra layer of security and protection, but they also give the exterior of your home a classic and timeless look. Wood back doors and side doors come in a variety of styles, colours, and designs, allowing you to create the perfect look for your home. In this blog post, we’ll discuss why wood back doors and side doors are the best options for your home.

Securing your home and family is the main priority

For those looking to upgrade their back doors or side doors, a wooden door is the best option. Wooden doors are the most secure and reliable choice when it comes to keeping your home safe. For maximum security, 3-star cylinders come as standard with doors from Authentic Timber Windows Ltd, providing the best safety protection possible. These locks are anti-pick, anti-bump, anti-snap and anti-everything that a burglar usually tries to take advantage of.

Wooden doors are much easier to maintain than many people think

To ensure your door is kept in the best condition possible, just make sure the paint doesn’t crack or get damaged, allowing water to get into the wood. If it does, simply recoat it to protect the wood. Moreover, the strong structure of wooden doors ensures that any damage caused by wear and tear can be quickly repaired. In addition, if you take good care of your door, it will remain to look beautiful for many years to come.

Low aluminium thresholds are the best choice. Obviously door sills get walked on and if the sill is timber, it will get scratched and age very quickly from wear and tear. Aluminium is different and much more durable for door sills, as such, this type of threshold requires minimal maintenance, with only a simple wipe-down required occasionally.

Wood is prestigious

When it comes to the security of your home, there is no substitute for a wooden door. Wooden doors offer a sense of prestige and class that cannot be achieved with any other material. Not only are they aesthetically pleasing, but they also offer unbeatable security. When combined with a high-security multipoint hook bolt locking system from Authentic Timber Windows Ltd, combined with a 3-star cylinder as standard, giving you peace of mind that your home and family are safe.

Plus, these doors can be installed as either open in or open out, depending on the style of your home.

Wooden doors from Authentic Timber Windows Ltd also come with low aluminium thresholds, ensuring the perfect fit. This means that your wooden door will keep you safe and warm while looking timeless and luxurious for many years to come.

When it comes to making your home look exclusive and prestigious, there is no better choice than wooden doors from Authentic Timber Windows Ltd.
