Solid, sturdy and timeless, timber doors lend an air of solidity to any home. The feeling of weight and solidity when opening a solid timber door is something that simply cannot be faked through the installation of a cheap imitation. Timber doors are fittings that lend an air of respectability to any home and with a variety of finishes that can be selected to suit the tastes of every homeowner there’s a timber door for everyone. Timber doors can be designed by the home owner when they want something unique to their home and best of all a variety of different types of wood can be selected for the timber door so the options are almost endless. In good news for the environmentally conscious the timber for timber doors is now harvested from sustainable forests all over the world. This means that your timber door is actually good for the environment. Many home owners are reluctant to purchase a solid timber door due to cost considerations and the fact that a hollow door looks exactly the same. However, aside from cost considerations the simply heft of a solid door makes entering and leaving the house a joy. Some home owners are worried that the upkeep involved in having timber doors makes ownership simply not worth the hassle. The good news is that advances in sealing and wood treatment technology have now reached a stage that ownership of timber doors and frames such as window and door frames is almost as trouble free as alternatives like aluminium. That said the homeowner should be aware that in harsh climates, such as those found around South Africa, both on the Highveld and in the salt laden atmosphere of the coast some seasonal maintenance will be required to keep timber doors in just like new condition. However there are professional contractors whose services can be retained for the maintenance of the timer doors.
