Wooden Front Door Prices

Wooden front doors are typically more expensive than UPVC or Aluminium doors. That is because you are paying for high quality work and a door that will not only be functional but also fashionable. Wooden front doors can also be seen as a home investment. You can enjoy the luxury of a wooden front door for your home as well as enjoy the sizeable difference it makes to your home value. Wooden front doors are seen as a valuable luxury and can really help improve the money you get for your house when you move.

Wooden front doors vary in prices depending on what type of door you are after. One thing to note is you cannot purchase untreated doors. Untreated doors are potential door disasters. As soon as they are exposed to the elements through transportation or other means they can suffer long term damage and this will directly affect their performance. All wooden front doors need to be properly treated prior to exposure.

There are a few factors about your perfect door that may have direct consequences on the types of prices you are looking for. It’s not always just a case of getting a good deal from a particular supplier. It is all based on the type of door, wood, design complexity and features your door has.

Pine doors are usually the economic alternative. The look and feel of a pine door is still great but obviously does not have quite the same quality look to it as an oak door would. Wooden front doors can start from £200 with a quality pine door with a single glass panel. At the top end of the wooden front doors range is Oak. All Oak doors typically start from £500 plus. Oak is the most expensive option because it is a high quality durable material that is more difficult to work with. Although mahogany is a more difficult wood to obtain and is a popular choice due to its rich red colouring, Oak is a more reliable wood that is perfect for the harsh life of an external door.

An oak door which has two vertical glass panels will cost between £500 - £1500. What kind of glass (if any) that you have in the door is one of these deciding factors for the price of wooden front doors, as well as the wood used and the re-enforcement within the design.

The glass in doors is typically patterned to prevent strangers from seeing into your home while still allowing light to pass into the hallway. The patterns can vary from Kathedral glass to the more obscure Abstracto pattern. You may also choose a decorative stained glass panelling for your door which also comes in a variety of different styles and can either be a standard finish or using traditional manufacturing techniques and hand soldering. Naturally a hand crafted stained glass panel will boost the price of wooden front doors.
