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.

Regarding the wooden door, the "specifications" listed in the offer seem rather technical to me. Can someone say if anything important is missing, and whether this is a (energy) modern door?

Thermally insulated panel made of 24mm (1 inch) sandwich board with inner and outer layers of 12mm (0.5 inch) plywood and a profiled edge.

For example, this means that the area of the decorative/ornamental panels between the wooden surfaces contains an insulating core, which keeps your visually traditional door technically up to date.

I understand the wording, although I’m not specifically experienced in comparing wooden door qualities, but to me (having worked at an aluminum window manufacturer) this sounds like a recommendable, solidly constructed product.
