From timber to finished door

Wood is a natural material, so moisture, grain direction and construction method matter. Solid timber, engineered cores and veneers solve different problems. For a Dublin project, the practical choice is the one that suits the opening, finish, budget and expected use.

What to look at

Start with the opening, the condition of the existing door and frame, the way the space is used, and the finish you want to achieve. These details usually narrow the practical options quickly.
