When choosing the ideal hardwood for your front door it isn’t just about choosing the colour and tone that complements the style of your home, it is also necessary to opt for a hardwood that suits both the interior and exterior of your Cornwall home as well as considering the weathering factors, performance, cost and outlook.
Other factors to consider are the materials used on the outside of the building such as cladding, rendering, zinc, copper, stone, and of course, the windows, as these are also closely related to the door choice.
With this mind, wherever you are based in the Cornwall area, there’s much more to choosing the perfect hardwood door than simply choosing the style you like the most and our range of specialist joiners are on hand to help you make these important decisions. Durability is also crucial when considering the right type of hardwood for your doors. For example, if you opt for American Black Walnut an overhang as recommended as the characteristics of this type of wood means it is more likely to stain black if it isn’t maintained properly and regularly. |

In reality, most homeowners do not maintain their wooden doors as much as they should and so this is a good option for time-starved homeowners.

Another consideration when opting for the ideal hardwood for your doors is extreme weathering. Factors to consider including whether your home receives a lot of sun or rain, is your front door is south facing or even facing the sea as all will have a significant impact on the type of hardwood best suited to your property.
Living in Cornwall, it is very likely your home will be exposed to a range of extreme weather conditions with its rugged coastline, vast moorland and remote hamlets and so choosing the right type of hardwood for your front doors is essential.
Other factors to consider is the style of your house. The colour of the brick or render can significantly influence the choice of wood to a large degree and so this should be considered when choosing the best hardwood for your front doors. |

The more red the brick is on your home, the less likely you would be to match it to Iroko, for example, as this type of wood is fairly red in colour itself.
Cream or white render complements almost any colour wood but considering what colour your windows are painted or varnished may well influence your decisions. If, for instance, your windows are a grey or green tone, a European Oak door will complement your home’s overall aesthetic appeal beautifully.
