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 Summer BBQ at the River Tees Watersports Centre was […]
I just wanted to say a big thank you for a job really well done. All your staff are helpful and the team carried out the installation were tidy and caused minimal disruption. Thank you!
Mr & Mrs N, Eppleby
The whole transaction was great as usual, from initial enquiry through to survey and the lads who did the installation! Thanks.
Mr. P, Durham
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.
Ms D, Jesmond, Newcastle Upon Tyne
We were desperate to find a company that would do a quality job with quality products. Although we had very high quality windows fitted in part of the house, that company couldn’t fit them. We are so happy with every aspect of the work done by ERW from start to finish and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone who asked.
Dr W, Durham
