Taking the time to weigh up your options when investing in new products for your home is always a good idea and often homeowners have trouble deciding what to go for. When it comes to your front door, it’s the focal point of the front of your home, so naturally, you want it to be a real standout piece to complement your house. External wooden doors are the best choice for your project and we’ve collated the all-important reasons why. No matter if you want a traditional style or contemporary look, wooden doors are the perfect fit for any property.

Aesthetics of wooden doors

One of the biggest benefits of choosing an external wooden door for your entrance is how great it looks, giving your home a new lease of life. The versatile style suits both classic and modern homes, providing greater flexibility as well as more curb appeal, compared to other materials such as PVCu. As wood is a natural and extremely versatile material, your wooden door is available in far more designs compared to PVCu or aluminium. Going beyond looks, wooden external doors add character to your property, and are a great way to create a sense of homeliness.

External wooden doors made exactly to your liking

No two pieces of wood are exactly the same, making them an incredibly versatile material in areas concerning size, style of wood and design, so you can have your door perfectly tailored to your home and aesthetic. Your external wooden door will be completely unique to you, as you can bring in something as simple as a sketch and we will bring your ideas to life. The benefits that timber offers means you can be as specific as you like – you’re even able to choose the style of wood grain. With choices including light wood, dark wood, painted surfaces, tight grain, wide grain, simplicity or intricate design work – your options are endless.

Wooden door security

Wooden doors boast incredible strength and are one of the few door materials that can be repaired, as wood is malleable and easy to work with. This means a wooden door will offer you and your home great security and peace of mind during its long life. As well as the wood itself being safe and secure, our timber doors are finished to the highest specifications to ensure your home remains protected. We use Simonswerk Tectus hinges on all of our wooden doors, which are a completely sealed hinge system that allows your front door to be completely flush when closed.

Wooden doors are eco-friendly

As wood is a natural resource, the damage to the environment is limited when investing in a wooden external door as you will be contributing to a more sustainable future for this material. Timber uses fewer carbon emissions in manufacturing and its long life also means there is less need to update them as frequently, making a wooden door an eco-friendly choice for your home.

Wooden doors are durable

When investing in your home, you want to make sure that you’re spending your money wisely. The quality of Türmacher wooden doors will last for many years. To enhance the lifespan of your front door, we can install a BUVA IsoStone threshold that provides you with impressive performance, giving you the confidence that your external wooden door will look stunning and perform effectively for many years.

Your front door is one of the most recognisable, sometimes overlooked aspects of your home. It’s a major focal point of the outside of your house and plays a big part in setting the tone and style of the rest of your home. Homeowners can sometimes overlook the front of their property in the new year and focus on the interior, so here are the top 3 front door ideas and trends that will grab your attention and give you the inspiration you need to upgrade your entrance in 2022.

1. Front doors with bold colours

Choosing your front door can be quite a daunting decision, so many homeowners go against going bold and instead opt for muted or natural colours. However, 2022 is the year to go bold. Bright reds, yellows and blues are going to be in style, as they add the personality your home needs to stand out from the crowd. The pop of colour used for your entrance can create a sense of cohesion with other elements of your home, such as your pillows, blankets and furniture – matching the outside with the inside.

2. Wide front doors

Often, front doors are restricted to single doors with standard sizes. In 2022, experts agree that the trends are moving towards wide front doors and popular choices include double doors or wider single doors. Expanding the width of your front door gives your home a sense of grandeur and brings more attention to the design of your home.

3. Combining materials

Combining the materials in your front door adds extra interest to your entrance. Glass and wood complement each other well and you can choose a number of designs and patterns to make the glass stand out as the focal point of your new door. In 2022, stained and patterned glass is expected to make more of an appearance. Glass can be implemented in the actual door or around it, adding style and interesting light designs in your home.

Three weeks ago, we attended The Joinery Network Live Event at Felder UK, Sovereign Business Park. Joiners, installers and manufacturers from the UK timber construction industry got together to look at the new Lignum doorset, which is the only independent door system available in the UK. The exclusive live event showed people in the timber manufacturing industry how to make certified timber doors.

Türmacher have worked closely with The Joinery Network since the start, with a shared vision of producing high quality and impressively insulated external wooden doors consistently to the trade and homeowners at competitive prices.

What is the Joinery Network?

The Joinery Network is a collective group of specialist companies bringing together a complete range of services for businesses, like us, who manufacture or install timber windows and doors. Essentially, The Joinery Network allows you to find an easier way to find and work with expert suppliers so your business can thrive. This is thanks to the links that they can offer, including connections to suppliers of hardware, tooling, certification, manufacturing software and so much more, giving joiners everything they need to manufacture timber windows and doors.

The Lignum doorset

At Türmacher, we use the Lignum system from The Joinery Network to manufacture our trade range external wooden doors. The Lignum doorset is fully fitted and finished including paintwork.

We also offer a wide range of decorative glass options as well as hardware, including knockers, letterplates and handles, to add the perfect finishing touches.

To keep up with all the current trends, we have collated some ideas on how you can add some stylish finishing touches to your external wooden door this year.

While doors are more permanent and long term, hardware and decorations can be regularly changed, meaning they are a great way of keeping your door on trend, as well as making it personal to you.

Door thresholds are a necessity for all homes, and an important factor to consider when having your new external wooden door installed is which to choose. Knowing the advantages of one threshold to another, the type to go for and which one is the most efficient, are three important factors to keep in mind.

What is a threshold?

An exterior wooden door threshold is a section of your doorway which provides an air-tight fitting between your floor and the bottom of the door. They seal your home against water damage and air infiltration. Due to it being located at your front entrance, your exterior wooden door threshold is likely to get a lot of wear and tear from daily use, footfall in your home and the unpredictable British weather.

Ensuring that your home is weatherproof is an important step to stop cold draughts from entering your home. Exterior door thresholds come in a wide range of styles and options, so whether you are building a new home or are renovating the entrance of your existing property, ensure that your external wooden door thresholds are fitted well, keep your home warm and are the perfect style.

Which threshold is right for me?

When choosing the right external wooden door threshold for your entrance, take into account the advantages of one threshold to another, weighing up the features of different thresholds so you can choose the perfect one for your front door. Whether that be energy efficiency, accessibility or aesthetics.

When it comes to insulation, our wooden door thresholds offer fantastic thermal efficiency with a U-value as low as 0.89 W/m2K and the low threshold option of 15mm helps improve accessibility.

BUVA IsoStone threshold

To give your external wooden door a longer lifespan and enhanced durability, we offer the BUVA IsoStone threshold, that provides your entrance with the technology of our timber doors combined with the impressive performance that the threshold offers, giving you the confidence that your entrance door will look stunning and perform for many years.

The BUVA IsoStone threshold offers an insulated, airtight, weatherproof solution that outperforms any traditional timber threshold. The airtight seal combined with an insulated thermal break creates an energy saving wooden door threshold that prevents cold entering your home from beneath the door.

Whether you have designs planned for your project to protect the planet or you just want to save money on your energy bills, making environmentally conscious decisions for your home goes way beyond choosing double glazing. By making the right choice when it comes to doing your bit for the environment, reducing your carbon footprint is a great place to start. Your front door is essential for ensuring the sustainability of your project, as most of a home’s heat escapes through its doors and windows. This way, by understanding the importance of the materials you use for your projects, you can make an eco-friendly home improvement.

Why choose wood for your external wooden doors?

Wood offers innovative design options, resource efficiency and provides a low-carbon, eco-friendly alternative to your traditional building materials. It’s also a cost effective solution, as there is no need for man-made carbon capture technology, which is the process of capturing and storing carbon before it’s released into the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels.

Our timber doors provide ultra-low – U-Values at less than 0.8W/m2K and the construction of our doors are designed to be as thermally efficient as possible, retaining heat and resulting in reduced energy bills. This is because timber is a poor heat conductor meaning heat doesn’t travel through it very well, so naturally, our timber doors are the perfect choice for keeping your home at an optimum temperature all year round.

Reducing CO2

Choosing an external wooden door for your eco-friendly home improvement project helps to reduce the CO2 in the atmosphere and contributes to slowing climate change. Trees capture CO2 from the atmosphere and store it as carbon, so when it is harvested and the wood from the trees are used for products like our entrance doors, they store the carbon for its entire lifespan.

Using more wood helps to decarbonise construction and when you build with wood, you are building with carbon that’s been kept away from entering the atmosphere. This means that you aren’t contributing to the use of standard materials that require lots of CO2 to be made. Making use of timber in your eco-friendly home improvement project has a positive impact on more sustainable built environments and encourages the forest industry to plant, grow and manage their trees in a more sustainable way.

External wooden doors VS PVC doors

External wooden doors are stronger, more secure and more thermally efficient than PVCu alternatives. At Türmacher, all our doors are crafted using advanced German engineering offering outstanding performance, making them the perfect addition to your eco-friendly home improvement project.

When compared to PVCu doors, you can’t ignore the many benefits that timber doors provide. Timber is a natural product, that uses fewer carbon emission in manufacturing than PVC and can last as long as 60 years. Our wooden external doors offer more impressive security, thanks to the BUVA IsoStone thresholds, which are high in strength, quality, insulation and weatherproofing.

At Türmacher, we can install our timber entrance doors with the BUVA IsoStone threshold. The technology of our timber doors combined with the high performance threshold gives us and property owners the confidence that the entrance door will look beautiful and perform effectively for years to come.

High performance

Finishing our timber doors with this high performance timber door threshold means there’s no risk of it warping or twisting, thanks to its weather resistant qualities, dimension stability and GRP structure. The BUVA IsoStone threshold won’t rot or absorb water as it is designed to prevent rot from making its way up the jambs to give your entrance doors a longer lifespan and enhanced durability.

Offering a complete solution for timber doors, the weather protection and air tightness is increased as BUVA timber door thresholds use Deventer weather and compression seals. This means that it will endure the test of time against the unpredictable British weather and everyday wear and tear, leaving your timber entrance door safe, secure and efficient for many years. Alongside this, BUVA thresholds feature an insulated thermal break, which prevents cold bridging beneath the door, keeping your property at an optimum temperature all year round thanks to the low U-Values of just 0.89 W/m2K combined with airtight seals.

Low threshold

BUVA IsoStone is the perfect choice for home projects where a low threshold is required, as it has a 15mm upstand and is Part M compliant – which is the Building Regulation focusing on accessibility and ease of use for new builds and refurbishments. The state-of-the art BUVA IsoStone timber door threshold improves accessibility for wheelchair users, children, pushchairs and those with limited mobility. Low thresholds are also becoming more popular for adding a seamless finish to projects as they add a sleek, modern aesthetic.

Strong and secure

BUVA IsoStone timber door thresholds feature a high strength twin-chamber glass reinforced plastic (GRP) structure that is practically unbreakable. This works with our robust timber doors to keep any unwanted intruders out, providing effective resistance and peace of mind.

Choose BUVA IsoStone for high performance timber entrance door
