Wood Front Doors

Unlike glass or metal, unglazed timber is naturally very heat insulating and has a high resistance to noise. It is ecologically sustainable and the use of layered glued wood scantlings prevents it from warping or cracking when constantly heated. The best values here can be achieved with a 3-layer laminate.

The demands on an external door are great, e.g., extremeweather conditions and temperature differences of minus 10-15° C outside and plus 20° C inside must be endured in the harsh winter just as much as the heating of the wood in direct sunlight in summer. At the same time, it must be weather-resistant and easy to care for. Neither rain nor snow may impair the function of the exterior door, nor may the door become rotten or even decay. This can be a real challenge for unglazed hardwood external doors or simple hardwood veneers. For this reason, all models available on windows24.com are glazed with long-lasting exterior protection.

This is only achieved with excellent quality of material and construction. With the right treatment and glazing, your external door remains protected against wind and moisture. Compared to aluminium or uPVC, hardwood always appears warmer, more rustic and closer to nature. Wooden doors with an insulation filling or a steel core also have similarly good values in sound insulation, thermal insulation, protection against warping and burglary resistance up to resistance class 2 (RC 2) as a solid wooden door.

Another factor in the longevity of external doors is the choice of wood. Hardwood doors are particularly resilient: oak trees, for example, grow relatively slowly which gives them good qualities to withstand weather, temperature drops and other natural challenges. Thanks to these characteristics, oak doors are long-lasting and have a pleasing appearance.

With a minimum thickness of the door panel of 68 mm, our wooden external doors are particularly burglar-proof and resistant, as the material offers the perpetrator no exploitable weak points. Our wooden door models include swing bolts as well as solid swing bolts and a 3-fold hook lock on the closing bar. This is supported by solid high-performance hinges and a pressure seal.

This means that you are already covered with standard security with the basic model, however, we also recommend further options to increase burglary protection, e.g. the use of safety glass, further protective fittings as well as a hinge side security device that protects against levering open, alarm systems and self-locking locks.
