saveasteading Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 That isnt remotely the same door spec as the one that @BuzzBuzz quotes above. Plaun ply against oak veneer. Just make sure you know what you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it’s not a case of what we want anymore but a case of what we can afford 😢 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or free because people can't get rid of them. Depending on your house size you might need 2 sets which won't match, but they'll tide you over. I got a still-shrinkwrapped Wickes £30 door for free that way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We found these to be a very good price. https://www.internaldoors.co.uk/mexicano-modern-veneer-oak-door 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnhenstock83 Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 no, Howdens is never cheaper than the better quality competitors online, but they will (with the right technique) price match or beat the price. if you're not getting any joy, however, don't waste your time. for every item they sell, there are better and cheaper options online. for example, if you need kitchens, DIY kitchens beats any supplier in the UK in terms of everything. worktop express beats anyone on worktop. national skirting beats everyone on skirting boards and architraves etc. ... you get the point 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpmiller Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 that's GB, not UK, generally... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's GB excluding Highland and Aberdeenshire from what somebody said earlier. Thats a crazy loss of business potential or genuinely uneducated on the nation I can't say. Amazon, Sainsburys, John Lewis or Screwfix etc will deliver to the door but they won't. Because?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorfun Posted November 9, 2023 Author Share Posted November 9, 2023 think we'll still go for these XL doors though https://www.doorgiant.com/oak-doors/xl-joinery-palermo-essential-internal-oak-door-oak-finish/ says the XL's lipping is 20mm on all 4 sides whereas the Howdens Daytona is only 10mm on 3 sides.

They do look nice and you have to go with what you want, at least you know that they are a good price and unlikely to find anything similar much cheaper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
