Hi,

I'm replacing all of the interior doors in our house and am looking
for any recommendations / experiences when it comes to picking a
manufacturer or supplier. I'm looking for 4 panel oak (wooden veneer
on a core is fine) - something "unfinished" so I can stain/varnish as
required.

I was initially advised (by a shop) to go for the JBKind "Derwent"
range of doors (and they do indeed seem to have a good set of sizes
whcih is good in my wonky and randomly sized door frames - I think we
may have to cut into the core on some of the stiles though - hmmm...

I've since had the Howden's range of 4 panel oak doors recommended.

Any thoughts or experiences on these suppliers would be much
appreciated,

Thanks,

Jon

Why not pay a little extra go direct to a joiners and buy real solid oak?

I got mine from Acorn doors.

Have look here

You might be surprised at how little real quality doors cost.

When there isn't a marketing/distrubtion chain between you and the
manufacturer.

Hi,

Thanks for the pointer. Interestingly, they seem to supply JB Kind
(amongst others) and much cheaper than the supplier I went to
originally.
