HARDWARE
The hardware for oak Bi-Fold door is available in a popular antique beeswax finish. Within the kit you will receive 2 x 12" T-Hinges, 3 x small H hinges to join the leaves and a Suffolk thumb latch.
GRADES
The Oak Bi-Fold door is available in a Select Rustic or Prime option. We make these beautiful oak doors by gluing and pinning the ledges, followed by hydraulically pressing them. However, we do not manufacture these doors in our plain rustic. Heritage use French oak for doors, as we have found it a much more stable timber than other types of oak commonly used. To find out more about grading, check out our blog post.
Prime V Groove doors are manufactured using prime oak veneers over a jointed oak core. The face of the boards will be virtually clear with only the very occasional small knot visible. The edges of the door are solid oak and will show joints between sections of the oak core. Prime oak doors are made with veneer to keep costs practical and to ensure the best grade of oak is visible on each face of the door.

PROFILES
The door is available to be purchased with either a Bead & Butt or V Grooved profile. Bead & Butt profile adds some extra detail and would often have been used in larger properties. This reflects the additional work that would have gone into making them at that time. V Grooved doors tend to give a subtle and clean look to the door. These work particularly well in period cottages or barn conversions.
With modern machining techniques, we can produce either board within the same time, so we do not charge a premium for either profile. We prefer this as it leaves you free to choose which board you feel best suits your project.

FINISHING
We can also pre-finish your door for you if you prefer. If you select this option, we will apply the finish of your choice from our wide range. All of our finishes use a hardwax oil top coat, which creates a wonderful subtle finish to the oak whilst protecting the timber. We can finish your new Ledged door in a Traditional Clear hardwax oil or you can choose from one of our colour tones.
Please note that a prefinished door is considered a customised door and cannot be returned. If you are unsure about the finish you prefer then we recommend ordering a sample or ordering your door unfinished for on-site finishing. Please note - to fit into our spray facility, the door is hung onto an overhead track meaning the door will contain two small screw holes on the side of the door. Please be aware of this before ordering.
