Open your living room to the outdoors. Timber French Doors for sale.
In the spare hours of this week I decided to make a set of French Doors for someone to buy and install in their home.
Moving from the norm of a single pane of glass I put a raised panel in the lower section of the doors. Made from solid Western Red Cedar these doors will stand out if you decide to oil them. Currently rebated for single glazing I can rebate them for double glazing for a small extra cost. For the lock, I can rebate out for a mortise lock for a few dollars also.
The second picture is not these doors but what Cedar looks like when oiled with a small amount of pigment to protect them.
I have not done the above so you can have options available along with painting if you need to.
Doors are 1805mm by 2040mm.
Frame is 1880mm by 2150mm (approx)
Doors are Western Red Cedar
Frame is H3.1 fingerjointed pine.
Professionally made these doors are very well priced at $1450 a lot less than from a retail outlet. I am able to make more if the size is not what you want.
My next project is going to be a radical new design. Keep your eyes out!
I also do bi-fold doors and windows, sash windows, bespoke windows, custom joinery, lattice work or anything using timber.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.3% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.2% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.5% ... It is complicated
Earth Emotions Silent Auction
