This warranty includes coverage for issues related to manufacturing defects, ensuring the quality and longevity of your door. Additionally, we offer support for any maintenance needs under warranty guidelines, helping to maintain the door’s appearance and functionality over time.
How long does manufacturing and installing a custom timber front door take?
Manufacturing times can vary depending on the design complexity and customisations, but we typically provide a timeline estimate once the order is confirmed. Our team will ensure that your delivery and installation are completed on time.
