General
Yes, we offer double, laminated, and triple glazing options to complement your stained glass panels. These options enhance insulation and provide added security for your door.
Yes, we do — each piece is handcrafted using traditional stained glass techniques, just like those used in period homes for over a century. Each panel is made by hand using individual coloured glass pieces, carefully cut to shape, then fitted together using lead cames (strips of lead that form the framework). The joints are soldered, the panel is waterproofed using traditional cementing techniques, and then cleaned and polished to bring out the colours and texture. The result is a genuine stained glass window with the character and craftsmanship you’d expect from original period features — not a printed or stick-on imitation. Before we begin making anything, we’ll send you a detailed drawing of the design for approval, so you can be confident it's exactly right.
No. You'll need to source your own locks and door furniture. However, we're happy to advise on what you'll need and can recommend some trusted suppliers.
The possibilities for stained glass are endless! You can share a photo of a neighbor's door, a link to something you’ve seen online, a sketch, or let our expert designers create a unique design just for you. Whatever your vision, we can bring it to life.
Yes. All our stained glass panels are crafted using traditional techniques. Each design is hand-assembled using individual pieces of coloured glass, carefully cut to shape, and joined with real lead came (a soft, malleable metal that holds the glass in place). The joints are then soldered, and the panel is cemented to add strength and weatherproofing.
This is the same method that has been used for centuries in church windows and period homes, giving each panel its authentic character and lasting quality. Unlike printed or imitation glass, our stained glass has real depth, colour variation, and craftsmanship that you can see and feel.
All of our doors and frames are made exclusively from solid hardwood, offering outstanding durability and longevity — with proper care, they can last over 40 years. This level of quality means they come at a higher price than engineered, non-solid, or softwood alternatives. We work with two types of timber: Oak and Sapele. For painted finishes, we recommend oak for its strength and smooth texture. If you're after a natural wood grain look, sapele is ideal thanks to its rich, beautiful grain.
Delivery
We deliver to most of the UK. Unfortunately, we don't currently deliver to Northern Ireland or areas further north than Glasgow and Edinburgh.
Yes, we offer free nationwide delivery on all orders. For this service, someone will need to be available on the delivery day to assist the driver with unloading. If you require a two-person delivery team, this can be arranged for an additional cost.
Your door will arrive primed in white ready for installation and decoration. It will be securely packed in a sturdy wooden crate to ensure it stays protected during transit from our workshop to your home.
Looking after your door
We recommend re-coating your door every one to two years, depending on how much exposure it gets to sun, wind, and rain. South-facing or exposed doors often need re-coating annually, as UV rays and weather can break down the finish more quickly. In more sheltered spots, such as north-facing entrances or porches, the coating may last up to two or even three years.
If your door is stained and sealed with a clear top coat, you’ll usually notice the finish starting to dull or go patchy when it’s time for a fresh coat. Painted doors may start to show signs like slight fading or minor cracks. Keeping an eye on these early signs and re-coating before damage sets in will keep your door protected and looking its best for decades to come.
If you're painting your door, choose a high-quality oil-based exterior paint system designed for timber. Brands like Teknos, Zinsser AllCoat, or Dulux Weathershield offer durable finishes that flex with the wood and withstand the elements. A minimum of three coats should be applied to ensure a full protection.
If you're staining your door, use a clear, UV-resistant exterior top coat to protect the wood and enhance the finish. Products like Osmo UV-Protection Oil or Sadolin Extra are ideal for this, as they seal the surface while preserving the natural grain. These should be reapplied every 1–2 years to maintain protection and appearance.
