What is a Ledge and Braced Oak Door ?

Oak Ledged and braced doors also called oak cottage doors are rustic style internal doors often used in cottages, farmhouses and barn conversions. The have vertical planks of oak held together by horizontal ledges on the back of the door. Between the plans you can have either a bead or a v groove. We use PEFC certified European oak to make the doors which are bespoke and can be made to your specific sizes. Most customers use t hinges and a Sufolk latch which complete the traditional look. They are suitable for internal use only.

Our ledged and braced oak doors can be oiled using Treatex Hardwax oil and stained a wide selection of colours if required or simply finished with beeswax which is very easy to maintain.
