Ledged Only
All doors are either 'Ledged & Braced' or 'Ledged Only'.
A ledged only door is represented by 4 to 6 vertical planks depicting the front of the door and 3 or 4 horizontal planks fixed to the rear holding the planks together.
The boards we use on the back of the door are a substantial 27mm thick ensuring that when your door is made, it will last.
As we are accustomed to talking to clients completing barn conversions and other restoration work, all our doors are manufactured on a 'made to order basis'.

Ledged & Braced
Similar to the Ledged Only door but this door has 2 additional diagonal braces set between the 3 horizontal planks. Many years ago, these braces were used to stabilise the door and prevent it from sagging.
Today, we use a different method of assembly and these braces are used for aesthetic reasons only.
Although these braces are cosmetic, this will have an impact on whether your oak door is hinged on the left or right.

Double Sided
The double door is our Rolls Royce of our internal oak doors. Manufactured from the same Character Grade Oak, we now construct a made to measure door that looks the same on both sides
The effect is that of a ledged only door except you have the benefit from seeing the face on both sides. This substantial door is 50mm thick and is made using horizontal braces within the construction for stability.
Please note, these doors are heavy and a substantial frame or lining may be required to hang them. Consideration should also be given to the design and strength of any hinges.
Advice on all these matters can be discussed with a member of our helpful sales staff if needed.
