Weather Bars for External Doors

A door weather bar is a simple but essential finishing touch for any external door. It is a shaped strip fixed low across the face of the door that throws rain clear of the threshold, keeping water and draughts from working their way underneath. Fitting one protects the most vulnerable part of a door, the bottom edge, along with the frame and floor beneath it. That keeps an entrance dry, warm and sound for far longer, which is why a weather bar is worth adding to almost any timber external door.

Oak and Hardwood Profiles

Our weather bars are made from solid timber, so they match a wooden door beautifully rather than sitting on it like an add-on. Choose an oak weather bar in a standard, contemporary or traditional profile to suit the style of your entrance, or a hard-wearing hardwood weather bar for the same protection at everyday value. Whichever you pick, it pairs neatly with a matching external door frame so the whole threshold is sealed against the weather.

Sealing and Fitting

Like the door it protects, a timber weather bar should be sealed on all faces with a suitable exterior wood treatment before fitting, then re-treated from time to time so it stands up to years of British weather. It fixes to the face of the door near the bottom, where it drips rainwater clear rather than letting it seep under the threshold. It is one of the easiest ways to add lasting protection to a front, back or stable door.
