Traditional Framed Ledged and Braced Construction
The framed ledged and braced (FL&B) construction is a trusted method of timber door manufacturing, designed to provide additional rigidity compared to standard ledged and braced designs. Vertical timber boards are supported by a strong outer frame, horizontal ledges and diagonal braces to help improve stability and reduce the risk of twisting over time.
This traditional construction method makes the door particularly suitable for external applications where durability and structural strength are important.
