Shaker Doors

Here at Foxstow we specialise in making bespoke doors. Drawing on the vast knowledge of our experienced craftsmen and our investment in modern machinery to make virtually any design, size and style of door that you can imagine. Shaker doors are just one of the many styles of door that we make. However, this particular style is afforded a special status, as its minimalist form represents the very essence of panel door construction. A shaker door can be seen as being more than just a style. Rather, it is a starting point for additional bespoke joinery techniques to be applied, to create a wide range of other door styles, ranging from period reproductions to one-off designs.

Foxstow began its life as a classical general joinery workshop, creating a wide range of high-quality joinery products for the domestic and commercial markets. Although we still offer this broad service, we now work primarily in the specialist field of door making. We decided to focus particularly on door making, in part, because we had built an enormous amount of expertise in this area, and could justify our growing reputation. But, we also saw an increasing demand for competitively priced, high quality, bespoke timber doors - and we knew that we could deliver them more cost-effectively than any other door maker on the market.

Whether you need a front door, a bi-folding door system looking out onto your garden, or a patio door, our shaker doors are perfect for the job. Any good external door will be built to withstand exposure to the elements, but what sets the best apart goes beyond functionality. An external door is a first impression - a beautifully handcrafted one makes a powerful statement about the people who live behind it. The shaker door's contemporary, classic lines give it a timeless appeal, meaning it can complement buildings from almost any era, traditional or modern.

Foxstow began its life as a general joinery company, and although our workshop now specialises in making bespoke doors for a variety of uses, it has retained its general joinery capabilities. What's more, because of our specialisation in cabinet doors, we are uniquely placed to understand the wider cabinetry process. This means we can offer comprehensive joinery support to create a wide variety of bespoke cabinets and accompanying fitted furniture. While many of our customers come to us specifically because we have a reputation for beautiful cabinet upgrades, we also receive frequent requests to create whole new sets of furniture.

Whether you have an existing fitted kitchen and bedroom, or whether you are planning to purchase a new one, we can supply bespoke cabinet doors to give it the look you want. The benefit of this service is simple: you get the look of fully bespoke furniture without incurring its costs. This service has saved some of our customers much of what they would have spent getting their furniture handmade from scratch. So, now you can buy that functional kitchen or bedroom from IKEA, Howdens, B&Q, or any other provider on the market for a price you like; and then commission us to make it into furniture you like too.

Our shaker doors for kitchen cabinetry will transform your kitchen into a unique living space with an aesthetic that properly reflects the importance of this ever-so-central room in the home. Whether you need glass-fronted doors for a display unit, or simply want attractive cabinet doors to complement a pre-existing fitted kitchen, our shaker doors are sure to provide a great solution. Check out our online shop. Shaker doors are perfect for entirely new kitchens, and are also an ideal solution for kitchens that could do with a pick me up.

As a specialist door maker, we can help you with the design and building of external, internal, general cabinetry, cupboard and wardrobe doors. We have access to a good range of species of timber, and have a wealth of experience at creating beautiful bespoke doors in any style you can imagine. All of our doors are made to order, meaning the possibilities for design and specification are virtually limitless. Having a bespoke door offers a wealth of benefits allowing design to your exact specification and preferred finish.

Whether you need a bi-folding door system, or want a base to which you can add glazing to create French doors, our shaker style internal doors are perfect for the job. Any internal door should provide acceptable levels of privacy and insulation, but the best amongst them offer so much more. A door tells a building's story, moving its 'readers' from chapter to chapter and revealing its owner's tastes and values. And, nothing is more suitable to the task than our beautiful, bespoke made, shaker doors.
