New Stable Door

jsh99

Hi all,

Looking to replace the back door in my little old cottage - currently have a very draughty and old wooden stable style door.

I would like a UPVC stable door but I have been told by window company that they are difficult to get 100% water tight due to the join. They have suggested a door with a tilt&turn window in the top.

Any one got either type and can comment on the above??

Also been quoted approx £725 fitted does this sound about right?

Thanks in advance.

i dont like upvc stable doors. they never look right nor watertight.
get a new wooden one. far better and much cheaper.

easy to draught proof them. and cheap.

As a Joiner who will always recommend a wooden door ,we can make wooden stable doors which are weather proof so there's no reason why a UPVC stable door shouldn't be weather proof..

I agree with Ormus (getting a bit of a habit this) Upvc ones never look right

Good question ormus - I was just wondering the same.

System

do you actually use the door as a stable door??
my folks had one for years that was totally pointless and just ended up leaking all the time, until they realised they never needed it anyway and got a nice wind and water tight timber door!!
