Board and batten is a type of wood panelling that uses wide boards that are nailed side by side, often vertically.
And there is a narrow strip of wood, called a “batten. That is fastened over the seams between wood boards that add 3-dimensionality and character to the siding.
At Brighstar Joinery we are often asked the same group of questions when a customer is considering installing bespoke garage doors. We have displayed a few of these questions below.
Yes. Many homeowners now buy external doors through websites. Doors online offer convenience and sometimes lower prices.
However, I recommend seeing doors in person when possible. Online photos can’t show you the true color and texture of a door and frame combination.
If you choose to buy external doors online, look for:
Door prices vary widely based on material, size, and features. Basic UPVC doors start around €500 installed. Mid-range composite doors run €1,200-€2,500. High-end timber front doors can exceed €3,000.
Door installation cost typically adds €300-€600 to the price of the door itself. This covers removing your existing door, preparing the opening, hanging the new door, and ensuring proper fit.
External doors face harsh weather and potential security threats. They need different construction than internal doors. Front doors must withstand rain, wind, and temperature changes while keeping your home secure.
I often tell clients that exterior door selection affects both safety and energy bills. A poorly fitted door creates draughts and security risks. Quality external doors solve both problems at once.
This question comes up in nearly every consultation. Timber doors offer classic beauty and character. Solid wood doors can last generations with proper maintenance. Each grain pattern is unique.
Composite doors combine the best features of different materials. They resist warping and require less maintenance than wood door options. Composite front doors give you the look of timber with added weather resistance.
A client in Galway replaced their old door with a composite door last year. They kept the traditional look of their cottage while gaining better insulation and security.
