Frequently Asked Questions
What is a full pane top solid bottom door?
A full pane top solid bottom door has a large glass panel in the upper two-thirds and a solid raised and fielded timber panel in the lower one-third. This design maximises natural light while maintaining privacy and a traditional aesthetic at the base. It is a single, full-height door — not a split version.
What is the difference between this door and the 50/50 split versions?
This door has a glass top section (approx. 2/3) and a solid panel bottom (approx. 1/3), and operates as a single full-height unit. There are two 50/50 split variants of the same design:
-
50/50 Split Full Door — divided horizontally at the midpoint, both halves hang together as a standard single door. Glass and solid panel evenly split 50/50.
-
50/50 Split Stable Door — same 50/50 split, but each half opens independently. Choose this for ventilation or pet access while keeping the bottom half closed.
Does this door come with glass?
No. The door is supplied without glass but includes glazing beads so you can fit your preferred glass pane after installation. For exterior use, toughened (tempered) or laminated safety glass of at least 6mm is recommended.
Is this door supplied with a frame?
No. The door is supplied without a frame. You will need to source a suitable door frame separately. View door frames sized 813 × 2032mm that are compatible with this door.
