Classic solid wood interior doors — monumental grandeur and artisan luxury for palaces and villas in the UAE
The classic interior door collection by ET GROUP is the embodiment of timeless architectural luxury, master craftsmanship and the tradition of working fine timbers. Created for exclusive residences in Emirates Hills, premium villas on Palm Jumeirah and the majestic palace interiors of Abu Dhabi, this range unites the substance of monumental forms, deep three-dimensional carving and hand-applied artistic finishing. Doors from this range become the focal point of an interior, underlining the status, continuity of generations and impeccable taste of the owner.
Master craftsmanship and premium materials
Every classic door is made to bespoke architectural drawings using solid hardwood that has undergone multi-stage kiln drying and climatic stabilisation to prevent any distortion:
- Hand carving and profiled architraves: Deep classical fluting, sculpted rosettes, carved pediments and substantial capitals create an architectural surround to the door opening with carefully judged historical proportions.
- Patination and artistic finishing: Gold, silver or bronze patina applied by hand accentuates the depth of the carved relief and the grain of the timber. Classic lacquer finishes to the RAL / NCS ranges are available, along with walnut, oak or mahogany staining.
- Inlays in leather, suede and precious materials: For bespoke B2B projects and master suites, leaves can be decorated with inserts of premium natural leather or suede, brass inlays or bespoke ornamental finishes.
- Stained glass and translucent glazing: Kiln-fired stained glass, bevelled toughened glass or tinted glass with diamond-cut edges fills halls with soft natural light while preserving an intimate sense of privacy.
Climate adaptation for Gulf region residences
Solid timber is a living material that calls for specific engineering solutions when used in the UAE, where buildings are subject to the contrast between the external climate and continuous dry air conditioning. ET GROUP designers use high-density laminated solid timber with internal compensating grooves, guaranteeing absolute geometric stability with no micro-cracking or sagging of heavy leaves for decades to come.
The final lacquering is carried out with eco-friendly AkzoNobel (Netherlands) lacquers containing UV filters that protect the timber and patina from yellowing, cracking and fading under strong sunlight.
