Timber remains one of the most desirable materials for doors thanks to its natural character, excellent insulation, and long-lasting strength. Unlike plastic or metal, timber offers warmth, texture, and depth – making it an ideal choice for those looking to retain or enhance the architectural integrity of their home. Modern timber doors, such as those from Bereco, are fully engineered and factory-finished with long-lasting microporous coatings. They require minimal maintenance, resist the elements, and can be refinished or repainted in future if your style changes. With the right specification and care, a Bereco timber door is built to last for decades.
The Contemporary Range from Bereco is designed specifically for 21st-century homes. These doors offer clean lines, a minimalist appearance, and an emphasis on sleek, uncluttered design. Featuring internal and external pencil round mouldings, a hidden nailing system, and internally glazed panels as standard, the Contemporary Range delivers a modern look without sacrificing security or performance.
Glazing bars are available in a choice of 16mm, 25mm, and 35mm, with an optional 60mm solid bar for a more defined design. These doors are ideal for new builds, extensions, or property upgrades where a clean, architectural finish is desired.
For period homes, conservation properties, or those wanting to recreate a heritage appearance, the Bereco Traditional Range is the perfect fit. These doors retain the styling cues of traditional joinery, including slim frame sections, external putty line mouldings, and internal ovolo beading. Hidden silicone is used for a more authentic appearance, and doors can be specified with 16mm (LT), 25mm, or 35mm bars, plus the option of a 48mm solid bar to match original features.
Despite their traditional look, these doors are engineered to modern standards, with outstanding weather resistance, insulation, and multi-point security locking as standard.
The Classic Range offers a timeless design with broad appeal, suitable for both traditional and more neutral properties. These doors strike a balance between the detailing of the Traditional Range and the simplicity of the Contemporary collection. Meanwhile, the Heritage Range is designed specifically to meet the needs of conservation areas and listed buildings. These doors respect traditional proportions and use sympathetic detailing while offering discreet upgrades such as double or slimline glazing, enhanced weather seals, and secure hardware options.
Both ranges are suitable for restoration projects, replacement work, and carefully planned new builds that require approval from conservation officers.
For homeowners looking to push boundaries with colour, configuration or style, the Creative Range offers complete freedom of design. With a wider palette of paints, stains, and layouts, the Creative Range is ideal for properties where individuality matters.
You might combine a bold painted finish with a traditional frame, or choose asymmetric glazing for a bespoke entranceway. Whatever your preference, the Creative Range allows for full customisation while maintaining the performance and reliability Bereco is known for.
All Bereco timber doors installed by South Lakes Windows Ltd come with high-security multi-point locking, internally glazed units, and robust seals to prevent draughts and moisture ingress. Timber doors from Bereco exceed current building regulations for thermal performance and weather tightness. Each door is fitted with energy-efficient glazing, solid or insulated cores, and factory-applied finishes that are tested to withstand the harshest UK weather.
You can choose from an extensive palette of factory-finished paints and wood stains, all applied using a microporous coating system that allows the timber to breathe while protecting it from moisture and UV damage. Whether you’re looking for heritage greens, classic greys, traditional wood tones or bold contemporary colours, we’ll help you find the perfect finish for your property.
