Oak wood is always a popular choice when it comes to external door materials, for many reasons. It's hardwearing so can withstand the elements. It's sturdy, for optimum security. It's a great insulator, so helps keep heat inside where it belongs. And it's also incredibly beautiful to look at.

We offer all our solid oak doors and oak veneer doors with a range of glass sidelights and vestibule frames so you can create that perfect oak front entrance door.
Front Doors
Oak front doors are perfect for adding character and charm to your house. They're secure, durable and attractive. Their robust construction withstands daily wear and tear, making them a practical choice for high-traffic areas.
Back Doors
We have plenty of options to suit the back or side entryway in our oak exterior doors range. Opt for a classic cottage style door or choose a glazed design to help light flow.
Oak Warmer Doors
We also offer external oak warmer doors, ideal for both front door and back door uses. Oak warmer doors have been designed using the latest technology in composite core materials. Their engineered construction achieves great U values, suitable for achieving part L compliance - ideal for new build extensions, but retaining that classic oak door look.
Stylish Designs
Available as either glazed oak door or solid panelled options, our traditional external oak doors such as the Cottage 4L and 6L and Stable 4L and 6L continue to be extremely popular, with pattern 10 oak garden doors also a stylish option. Our classic and rustic designs are ideal for traditional and period properties.
For more modern tastes, our Goodwood timber doors pair contemporary panelling with the classic and timeless natural grain of oak. Choose your door furniture to complete the look.
Glazing
Glazed doors are ideal for letting in plenty of natural light to your home. Our glazed oak exterior doors are available in a range of stylish designs, both traditional and modern.
If you love the look of decorative glass but are worried about privacy, we offer obscure glass panels, which still allow plenty of light in, while keeping nosy passers by out! Double glazing keeps the doors energy efficient and your home warm and cosy, while toughened safety glass means they're safe for children and pets, as well as being highly secure.
Finishes
Our huge range includes prefinished options that are ready for installation. Just add the finishing touches like handles and hardware.
You can also opt for unfinished doors so you can paint or stain to match your home design plans.
Security
Oak doors are renowned for their security and sturdiness. Made from high-quality oak wood, they offer robust protection. While a solid door provides natural beauty and strength, those with an engineered core are designed to enhance security and durability, ensuring a safe and long-lasting entryway.
How to Treat External Oak Doors
As your external doors are exposed to the elements, it's important to make sure they are properly protected. Without proper treatment, timber doors can warp, rot or split. Treating and protecting your doors is an ongoing task (you'll need to do it every couple of years), however the results are well worth it, as you'll see!
There are a variety of different treatments for timber doors available, including both oil-based and water-based options. Whatever you choose, it's vital to clean your door thoroughly before applying any treatment, to ensure an even finish and to avoid any damage to the door's surface. You can find out more in our article about choosing the best treatment for your external doors.
