Which is why we only ever supply our custom-built timber entrance doors complete with frames to match.
Each door in the ERW collection is manufactured to a minimum thickness of 58mm (60mm for Contemporary and 68mm for Eco-Contemporary doors). This makes them heavier, sturdier and more thermally efficient than most standard 44mm-thick entrance doors, requiring a frame that’s crafted to suit.
Beyond the stature, we use industry-leading multi-point locks, draught sealing and heavy-duty hinge systems in both doors and frame to deliver outstanding thermal performance whilst making entrance ways highly resistant to forced entry.

Opting for a door without a frame that’s specifically made to support its weight and features compromises its longevity and performance.
Frames meant for standard entrance doors are not built to take the locks, draught sealing systems and hinges our doors use to guarantee longstanding performance. They can also weaken over time, impacting the security and thermal efficiency of your entrance, whilst making maintenance more problematic.
For the long-term benefit of your doors and home, do it the ERW way. Choose a tailor-made factory finished door and frame set.

Our whole experience with ERW joiners has been absolutely first class. Our first meeting was a showroom appointment with Stuart Wall, I personally loved the showroom straightaway, the colours of the sample doors blew me away.
To the skilled craftsmen of joiners who made our front door, who we have not met, but who we will forever be grateful too – their craftsmanship is beyond compare – thank you so very much.

Thank you all so much!

We are absolutely delighted with the new windows which you have installed, which have perfectly retained the elegance of the original design. Installers were a pleasure to have in the house.
