Front Doors & Entry Doors

When choosing a front door, there are many factors to consider including environmental conditions (sun/rain/weather), aesthetics, and project requirements.

These factors will all have an impact on the style – and material – of doors you can choose from.

For instance, with Australia’s climate extremes, entrance doors will weather differently based on the home’s location, door colour choice and the materials used in the door’s construction. Timber doors are more susceptible to the elements than steel, aluminium, or fibreglass doors.

Another factor to consider is the Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) rating of your home. In Australia, the threat of bushfire is real (especially depending on location) and your home needs to be built accordingly. The BAL rating of your home may have an impact on the style of door that you can select.

By understanding your requirements, our Showroom team can help you select the doors that are best suited to your home. This includes the option to order a custom door too.

Do you have timber cladding on your home? We can create an entry door to match.

We work with local manufacturers to create a custom door of timber cladding or timber lining.

Although we will work as best we can to supply full lengths of timber to the height of your door (to avoid joins in it) this cannot be guaranteed as our timber is supplied in random lengths and therefore may result in split lengths on random occasions.

The profile and timber species will determine the thickness of the cladding or lining we use for your door. It will also determine whether the door can be timber-clad on both faces. The size of your door and the weight of the timber cladding or lining will determine its internal frame construction.

Talk to one of our friendly staff members about your door requirements in our Geelong showroom, where we have a range of timber-clad doors on display. This is the best way to get a feel for the weight and size of a timber clad door.
