WHAT ARE STABLE DOORS?
Looking to replace your current doors? Stable-style models offer a versatile design using modern materials without compromising on quality.
Historically used on farms and farmhouses, this type of door comprises of two sections divided horizontally. You can close the lower half, while leaving the upper segment open so that there is security but air can still circulate freely.
Contemporary Stable Door
The contemporary stable door option is a hybrid, encompassing the lower half of a standard residential door, with the top half of a tilt and turn window.
The tilt and turn section works independently so you are able to either tilt the top opening sash inwards (hinged from the bottom), or have the top opening sash fully open and hinged from the side.
The door can be inward or outward opening but the tilt and turn function is always inward.
Traditional Stable Door
As the name suggests, this option works in the same way as a traditional timber stable door. Unlike the contemporary option the proportions of the door are a 50/50 split with the top and bottom half equal sizes.
This option also operates in the manner of a traditional stable door and does not have the same tilt and turn functionality as the contemporary option.
