Handcrafted with a smaller window for a little more privacy, the External Cottage Stable Solid Oak Door brings cottage character to a back or garden door, letting you open the top half to make the most of the garden and the British summer. About the Cottage Stable Oak Door This cottage stable design features a smaller glazed window than many similar doors, so you still get plenty of light through but with a greater sense of privacy. The glazing is not supplied, so you can choose a panel to make the door your own. Handcrafted from 100% solid oak, the grain, knots and natural colour variation make every door unique, and it is a natural fit for country and cottage homes. Solid oak construction Like all our solid oak external doors, the Cottage Stable is built around a solid oak outer frame joined with traditional mortice and tenon joints, with vertical v-grooved oak boards forming the face. The mortice and tenon frame keeps the door rigid and square, while the boards give it its handsome, cottage character. It is 44mm thick, solid oak throughout rather than a veneer over a core, and supplied sanded but unfinished, ready to seal in a finish that suits your home. Glazing The window is supplied unglazed, with the stable top machined to accept your glazing panel, so you choose the glass to suit your home, clear for more light or obscured for privacy. Confirm the exact aperture once the door has arrived before ordering your glass. Stable door features Stable doors are perfect for keeping pets in or out and for opening up the house to the garden in summer. Open just the top half for light and air while keeping the lower half closed, or swing both together as a standard door. Every stable door comes with a 1" rebate as standard and is identical on both faces, so you can hang it opening inwards or outwards. Sizes The door is 44mm thick and made in standard sizes, with bespoke made-to-measure sizes available, just contact our sales team. Finishing & Care Made from solid oak, these doors are best fitted in a sheltered spot, under a porch or canopy, rather than in areas fully exposed to direct rain or hot sun. As they're supplied unfinished, protect yours with a treatment made for external use; we recommend the Impranol range for external doors. Oak Weather Bar We also supply an Oak Weatherbar to match the door, which will be required should the door be "open to the elements". Sold separately, as not everyone will need one, for example if your door is situated within an enclosed porch. Click here for Oak Weatherbars. Our external doors must be treated before being hung, retreated every six months and kept dry at all times through the use of a canopy or similar. For full guidelines, please visit our External Door Protection Page. Key Product Information 100% solid oak: real oak throughout, not a veneer.
