Shaker doors get their name from the 18th century religious order that created them. The ‘Shaker Society’ was the nickname given to a religious group called the United Society of Believers in Christ’s Second Appearing, who were known for their lively dancing during religious ceremonies.
An offshoot of the Quakers, the Shakers originated in Manchester, before making their way to the newly established colony of New England. Using the native pine and cherry trees, they became justly renowned for their superb woodwork, which focused on quality craftsmanship with simple design. Their belief was that the simplicity of the designs was a way of honouring God.
Centuries later, the designs of shaker-style doors are still widely praised for their humble beauty, simplicity and versatility.
Our Range
The great thing about these doors is that they lend themselves to an incredible range of architectural styles and internal design concepts. Whether you call a beautiful country cottage your home, or dwell in a perfectly appointed urban apartment, you can integrate shaker doors into your interior.
We have a huge range of different styles available, in a variety of sizes, colours and finishes. There really is a shaker door for every home. Just take a look at our range…
Single Panel
Single panel shaker doors are composed of a single timber or glass panel within a timber frame. Their unobtrusive design makes them a great option for all kinds of properties and design concepts. Take a look at this white shaker 1-panel door from Climadoor. Or the subtleties of this oak fully-finished 1-light frosted shaker door.
2 Panel
2 panel shaker doors will bisect either horizontally or vertically with two panels either at the top and bottom or left and right of the door leaf, like this beautiful white Shaker 2 panel internal door by PM Mendes. Again, one or both panels may be glazed in order to allow more natural light into the living space. Check out this modern white Shaker door by Climadoor.
4 Panel
Many shaker style doors use 4 panels, some or all of which may be substituted with glazed lights. If you’re looking for a more traditional look, this Victorian 4 panel oak Shaker door from Climadoor is the perfect option for you, with a single panel occupying each quadrant of the door leaf in a classic traditional design. Alternatively, panels can be vertically stacked to create a ladder effect that is more contemporary in appearance.
Classic Oak
Oak is an extremely popular choice for shaker internal doors. Warm and comforting in colour, oak is also a wonderful natural insulator with great soundproofing qualities. And its enduring popularity makes it the perfect choice for shaker style doors.
Elegant Walnut
Walnut gives a richer and darker appearance than oak or pine, lending a touch of class to any living space. And because walnut is such a versatile wood, it looks great in both modern and traditional shaker doors.
Fire Doors
Many of the shaker internal doors in our collection are also available as FD30-rated fire doors. A fire door is generally thicker and more robust than a standard internal door, and has an intumescent strip that prevents fire or smoke from escaping through the gap between the door leaf and frame.
French and Bifold Doors
If you’re looking for a dramatic flourish to add to your living space, shaker style French doors can be a bold and beautiful way to transition between spaces such as from the living room to the dining room. French doors and room dividers use panels of clear or frosted glass to flood the space with light while also giving you the option of increased privacy. Take a look at these stunning oak 4 light shaker style room dividers. They are unfinished and you may use any wood stain of your choice to complement and protect the timber. Alternatively these white primed frosted French folding doors are a great way to create a stunning transition between rooms while also diffusing the incoming natural light.
Limited floor space? Not a problem. These bifolding shaker doors fold in on themselves when opened, making a statement without consuming too much usable space.
