Oak Door Linings 

Click here to scroll to the products.

As one of the most common materials used in home construction, both with regards to structural components and aesthetic features, our oak door linings are as practical as they are suitable for high end home design.

Of course, when it comes to selecting the best material for your door linings you want to select a material which is durable and versatile, and which can withstand the test of time while ensuring the door can open and close smoothly without sticking.

The role of the door's lining is to conceal the portion of exposed brick or wall and provide a framed structure to accommodate a door.

Machined in-house from American White Oak for a natural look and smooth finish, our door linings are made to measure and available in both 15x4mm grooved (to accept an intumescent strip) and ungrooved sets, all complete with a doorstop.

As a family run timber merchant, we enjoy sharing our expertise and knowledge with customers so we can be sure you get just what you're look for. For more information on our full door linings range and or to have any questions answered, get in touch with the Avon Timber team directly.

Oak Door Linings FAQs
What are the benefits of fitted oak door linings?

Oak is a popular material for its look and strength, with oak door linings presenting an aesthetic which compliments any interior style from a modern to a traditional or period UK property. The fact that oak can be used both as a lacquered or an oiled material make it highly attractive to homeowners across all housing styles and types.

What thickness should an oak door lining be?

Our recommended thickness here at Avon Timber is 32mm (27mm Finished Size), as this is our standard which is suitable for both double and single doors. If buyers require a different thickness, then you are welcome to make a request via email, or you may speak directly with our friendly team for advice on what you need in order to complete your interior job.

What are the different components of the door lining?

While we tend to refer to the door lining as an overall structural feature in building and finishing the doors around your house, it's worth knowing the names of the different pieces which contribute towards the overall lining.

These include the following:

  • The head which sits across the top of the door
  • The legs (or jambs) which vertically line either side of the door
  • The doorstop, which stops the door from freely swinging in further than the hinges, will tolerate movement and, together with a latch, locks the door firmly in place until it is opened using the door handle. Customers should note that the hinges, latch, and handles of the door are all sold separately and can be matched with your ideal look.
What is the difference between a door frame and door lining?

A door frame usually refers to an External Door Frame. This is usually a hardwood of some kind and incorporates a threshold at the bottom, hence the word frame as it surrounds the door on all four sides.

A door lining is for internal use and refers only to the three pieces - the head and the two legs, as mentioned in the components section, above.

Both the frame and the door lining conceal the brickwork and act as the structure from which to hang the door
