ᐅ Looking for manufacturers or catalogs for the front door shown in this picture.

Hello everyone,
Our search for a front door that we like and that fits our budget has been somewhat frustrating.
Basically, we are looking for a door in a country or farmhouse style. The many catalogs I’ve browsed so far mostly offer nearly the same designs. However, we don’t really like any of them.
Therefore, we have already requested custom quotes from carpenters and window manufacturers and even saw a (wood) door once at an exhibition. The prices start at around 5,000€ and go up to 10,000€.
We planned a budget of 3,500€ gross, including installation costs.
We recently found the attached door online from the company Brunkhorst. Unfortunately, they are located far from us in Hamburg (postal code 33***). At this point, the options would be to have the door delivered and installed by someone else. However, this involves the risk of measurement errors on our side. Also, it is a wooden door, which is not bad in principle, but with the gable side facing south, the door would be exposed to weather all day. I was told that this is not ideal for wooden doors.
My request is whether you could check any catalogs you currently have access to and see if you recognize this door from the photo in a catalog and could provide the names of the suppliers. The door panels could then be ordered and installed locally by a company into a door frame.
I hope this will bring together some useful information. Thank you very much.

Thanks for pointing that out. Today I paid special attention to it at an exhibition, and you are absolutely right (at least with this manufacturer (KompoTherm)).This does not depend on the manufacturer. If you really want a door like the one in the picture, there are only two options: wood, or nothing even slightly cheaper than wood. In that case, I would choose wood.

or not a jot cheaper than woodwhat?
The Iota was the letter with the smallest character in the Latin alphabet and therefore symbolically (see Matthew 5:18) stands for something very, very, very small (insignificant). In other words: have the best possible imitation of a wooden door made for you, and if at all, you’ll pay maybe ten units less than if you had chosen real wood.
The profiling suite of frame – molding – outer panel – inner panel is very complex in this model; even the detail “muntins” in the upper panel is not simple. With alternatives, you hardly save anything here.
Your “problem” isn’t a slight preference for wood or misguided thrift, but your uncertainty about the durability of the surface. Window manufacturers won’t be able to help you with that (unless, like my suggestion Pax, they offer all material alternatives and don’t have to recommend one just because they can’t sell the others themselves), but you can only clarify this with painters and varnishers.

.. Greek alphabet - not Latin.Correct – but the ancestor of the letter "i," and incidentally probably also the inspiration for the term "i-Dötzchen" used today to refer to first graders.
