Solid oak V Grooved ledged doors are ideal for period properties and bring the charm and quality feel of solid oak into your home at realistic prices. We can manufacture and supply your new oak doors in a range of sizes and timber grades. Your oak ledged door can be made with various options from bracings to glass openings.
We can also prefinish your door for you in a range of stunning options. Have a look at the Finishing tab for more details as well as the pictures in the drop down selection boxes above. Don’t forget that your doors can be made to the exact size you need them. This results in a much better looking door than if you cut one down, as we ensure the ledges are re-positioned or verticals arranged correctly to create a visually pleasing door. The costs are not too high and we can usually produce these in around a week.
All of our doors are handmade in our factory in Sheffield using predominantly French oak. We deal direct with sawmills in Southern Normandy, Loire Valley and Bourgogne areas of France to ensure we get beautiful quality oak at good prices. All of our oak is correctly seasoned and kiln dried for use inside the home.
Every door is handmade and checked prior to despatch. Ledges are glued, pinned and then hydraulically pressed on to ensure a proper fit. This process is unique to Heritage and makes our door by far the strongest and most durable available in the UK.
Oak is available in a large range of grades. At Heritage we offer our oak ledged doors in 3 grades, which determines how much character and knots you will receive in your door. Have a browse through the information below and the various grade images to get a feel for what each of the grades can look like. Remember that each grade covers a band of and so there will be variations between doors. However the following information will give you a good guide as to how your new V Groove Oak Ledged door will look like.
Note: On rustic doors we manufacture the ledges using finger jointed lengths of solid oak. This helps to produce good quality ledges in the most cost effective manner. There will be some colour variation between some of the pieces but these can be hidden very effectively by using a coloured finish.
We can also pre-finish your door for you if you prefer. If you select this option, we will hand apply the finish of your choice from our wide range. We prefinish the component individually, prior to assembly, as this gives the best possible coverage and protection for the door.
All of our finishes use a hardwax oil top coat, which creates a wonderfully subtle finish to the oak whilst protecting the timber. Have a look at the finish drop down box for images of how each finish looks applied to our oak. Click on each image to get a larger view.
We can finish your new V Grooved oak ledged door in a Traditional Clear hardwax oil or you can choose from one of our Shades finish or Aged oak finishes.
The Heritage Shades range uses the latest finishes and techniques to create a variety of colours and styles to suit every home. Shades takes the natural beauty and variation of oak and tailors it to a number of highly individual styles so that there is a choice that will match whatever decor and look you are creating with your home project. The finish used is a modern 2 pack finish that results in a very hard wearing door.
The Heritage Aged range use special stains that react with the tannins to simulate the effects of the natural aging process. This normally would take decades but with these stains this process can be prompted to happen straight away.
We combine these reactive stains in a multi stage finishing process with various colouring and highlighting effects before adding a top coat of hardwax oil for protection. The results are truly stunning!
