FAQs
Great for those on a budget, engineered Oak doors are made by combining a plywood core with thin sections of timber. Plywood is multiple layers of hardwood bonded together in opposite directions, promoting strength and structural integrity. Solid Oak doors, in contrast, are made entirely from one solid continuous piece of Oak, as the name suggests. Many engineered Oak doors use thin veneers, so are more vulnerable to damage than their solid Oak counterparts.
We think so! Solid Oak doors may seem expensive, but they are a great investment. With proper care, a solid Oak door can last a lifetime. Timeless and versatile, natural Oak can be re-sanded and finished to create an entirely new look. With a high volume of tannin, our solid Oak external doors are resistant to insects and fungal diseases. They also have a high density, so make great draft excluders.
Solid Oak doors require very little maintenance but can benefit from the occasional cleaning. Use a clean cloth to wipe down your door. For stubborn stains, add a dash of washing up liquid and a splash of olive oil to warm water. Wring out the excess water from the cloth and wipe down the door. If unfinished, you should treat or paint your solid Oak door prior to installation. We recommend using Osmo Door Oil to treat your door.
