'Specifying Hardwood Timber External Doorsets'

The objective of our CPD presentation is to arm architects with the knowledge they need to specify the right hardwood door for their clients. We cover a range of topics including:

  • Functionality (opening types, flush v.s non-flush etc.) 
  • Weather-proofing
  • Security and keyless/fingerprint/automated entry
  • Protective finishing & maintenance
  • Fitting (including fitting wooden doors in glass)
  • Passivhaus 

We'll bring along samples and sections to our in-person presentation and leave you with our Architect pack, which is full of useful material. We can also provide an Architect pack for virtual presentations.
