When choosing a new door, homeowners often get presented with options like aluminium, composite, or timber. While alternatives have their place, nothing compares to the value, beauty, and flexibility of a solid timber door.
Why Timber Wins
- Premium Look & Feel: No other material offers the same warmth and character.
- Customisable: Can be painted, stained, trimmed, or repaired — timber adapts to your home.
- Longevity: With care, a timber door can last decades.
- Value: A natural material that lifts curb appeal and resale value.
The Alternatives
- Composite doors may be low maintenance, but they often look artificial and can’t be refinished or repaired.
Aluminium doors are strong but cold, industrial, and offer limited styling — more at home in a factory than a front entry.
The Honest Price
At Doors Replaced, our timber door replacements start from $1,099 supplied and installed, including hinge and handle. While you can pay less for other materials, you’ll rarely find the same quality, flexibility, or long-term value.
The Bottom Line
If you want a door that feels premium, lasts decades, and looks like it belongs in a real home — timber is the only answer.
