WELCOME TO OUR Oak: External Doors PROJECT
This project is presented by Distinctive doors
Summary: Using oak and other hardwoods for external doors
Oak. The very word brings up images of reliability, Englishness, solidity and strength. Probably our most well known tree and now, as always, a symbol of endurance with hundreds of uses throughout history. Oak has beed used for building for at least 3,500 years and a Bronze Age boat was dicovered in Dover which has been dated to about 1550 BC. Such is the history of this building material and now Distinctive Doors bring you exterior doors which also symbolise the reliability and solidness of the Oak.
External doors obviously need to be solid and endurable but they also need to be attractive and Distinctive Doors have combined the practical aspects of the timber with its natural beauty to produce some stunning doors. Look at those on display here and follow any of the links through to a huge selection.
