We were back in Chesham to replace these French doors. Unfortunately, it was a similar story to the window we’d replaced earlier. A combination of poor material choice and bad design had meant that the originals had failed within 10 years.

For the replacement, we opted for a pressure treated pine frame, paired with hardwood sill to stand up to wear and tear. For the doors themselves, we always recommend Accoya wood for its 50-year rot resistance and amazing dimensional stability against the elements which makes it the perfect choice for larger exterior joinery like doors.
