WE ONLY SELECT THE BEST TIMBER
Stability and durability is key in door construction, and this is why at SB Joinery we only select the best timber to suit the application it is used in.
STANDARD TIMBER TYPES FOR DOOR CONSTRUCTION
ACCOYA
We recommend Accoya due to its outstanding stability and durability properties. Accoya is a modified timber that undergoes a proprietary, non-toxic acetylation process that permanently modifies the wood to the core. The result is an outstanding durable and stable product perfect for doors as the swelling and shrinking of acetylated wood is very minimal. For more information view our Accoya page.
SAPELE
Sapele is a reddish brown timber with interlocked grain giving it excellent stability and durability for use on doors. The close and interlocked grain makes it a hard timber and therefore very suited to demanding external environments.
ALTERNATIVE TIMBER TYPES FOR DOOR CONSTRUCTION
OAK
Oak is one of the most attractive looking timbers, but it is also a very durable and stable product, ideal for timber doors. This timber can look very attractive when finished in a translucent stain.
