Doors for Exposed & Coastal Locations — practical planning
An exposed opening can behave very differently from the same door beneath a deep porch. Orientation, shelter, threshold design and how water leaves the opening all matter.
Metal finishes, timber coatings, seals and hardware should be selected with the environment in mind. Stainless components also come in different grades and still require appropriate care.
Doors Dublin can help plan the door as a complete weather-facing opening rather than choosing the leaf in isolation.

Hidden doors for painted walls, panelling, metal, glass and selected stone or tile finishes
The aim is not simply to remove an architrave. A convincing concealed door is planned around the surrounding surface. Depending on the opening and chosen system, Doors Dublin can discuss flush painted doors, doors aligned with timber wall panelling, discreet metal-faced doors, glazed concealed-door concepts and selected stone or tile-faced finishes. Concealed hinges, minimal frames, suitable handles or push-to-open concepts and accurate installation are considered together.
