The Benefits of Timber Doors
A timber door brings a warmth and solidity that no other material can match, and, made well and maintained simply, it will serve your home for decades.
Warm, solid and secure
Solid timber is naturally insulating and reassuringly substantial. Paired with modern multipoint locking and quality seals, our doors keep your home warm, quiet and secure.
Sustainable and long-lasting
Responsibly sourced timber can be repaired and refinished rather than replaced, so a well-made door lasts for generations, a far more sustainable choice than plastic or composite alternatives.
Beautiful, and built to last
Timber can be shaped, moulded and finished in ways other materials cannot, for an authentic look that suits period and modern homes alike. Explore our crafted entrance doors.
Front Doors & Doors to the Garden
Whether you are after a striking front door or a wide opening onto the garden, there is a timber door in the range to suit.
Front & entrance doors
Make an entrance with a made-to-measure crafted timber entrance door or a low-maintenance Scotdoor composite door, both with high-security locking as standard.
Doors that open to the garden
Connect your home to the outside with French doors, wide-opening bi-folds or smooth sliding patio doors.

We work room by room, protect your floors and furnishings, and tidy up fully at the end of each day. Most installations are completed quickly and cleanly by our own experienced fitters.

What our customers say
Trusted by Sussex Homeowners
Genuine feedback from Shaws of Brighton customers across Sussex.
They did excellent work fitting new bespoke joinery into our 90 year old home, incredibly quick and well organised, and left everything pristine. It feels like we have a new house.
Excellent service from start to finish. Great attention to detail, clean and tidy and an exceptional job. So pleased with the result.
I could not recommend Shaws enough. The products are well made and of good quality, and the fitters were brilliant. As a local Brighton interior designer, I would not hesitate in recommending them.
