January 4, 20215 yr Hi all, was watching a 'Building the Dream' and saw this internal door on one episode. was just wondering if anyone knew what the style was and where it could be gotten. I really like the colour and the panel look will reflect the black cladding we're having on the outside of the house.

January 4, 20215 yr Howdens describe that style as "Dordogne" https://www.howdens.com/search-result?q=dordogn+door Don't see them in pre finished grey though

January 4, 20215 yr Wickes call them Geneva. Others Cottage Oak. They are not far off being the default. Though most are a lighter oak rather than brown. If you are patent and work at it, imo you could be a little below £100 for each door and all the fittings, without fitting. Depending on very recent price rises. Or if you have a heavy, post handle like that one ?. The last lot I did came out at £85-90 or so, but it was 3-4 years ago.
January 4, 20215 yr Howdens have the Oak version of these on sale at the moment for £49.99 plus VAT (Though described as Holdenby rather than Dordogn)

January 4, 20215 yr The various ones are different in eg weight and quality though, so choose an appropriate one.

January 4, 20215 yr 5 hours ago, Thorfun said: wondering if anyone knew what the style was and where it could be gotten That’s an LPD pre-finished 5P (5 panel) door. They do then in a load of colours, about £140 each if you shop around.

I'm not sure how glossy it is. that's a photo taken off the monitor so the glossy reflections might be something to do with that. it was Series 6 Episode 5 (https://www.channel4.com/programmes/building-the-dream/on-demand/60958-009?intcmp=video_link:bip_ondemand:episodes) near the end when he's looking at the finished house. it's more of a satin finish by the looks of it. but I liked it as well. it might be that I liked the colour rather than the look of the door. it's being added to my list of items to investigate further. ? it's a long list.
