Premium Laminated Pine Double Door with MACO Hardware

The GDD-1 is a premium outward-opening double door for use in timber garden buildings, log cabins, and summerhouses. Constructed from 68mm finger-jointed and laminated pine, it combines structural rigidity with the natural aesthetics of Nordic timber — making it a seamless match for Dadsons log cabin structures.

Performance and Security

At the core of the GDD-1 is a high-quality MACO 3-point locking system, delivering reliable security across the full height of the door frame. Adjustable MACO hinges allow precise alignment on installation and long-term adjustment as the timber naturally acclimates to its environment.

Thermal and Weather Performance

The two 4mm tempered glass panes are separated by a 16mm cavity (4+16+4) filled with Argon gas, which provides better insulation than air. One pane features a microscopically thin coating that reflects heat, enhancing energy efficiency by reducing thermal transfer (LowE). The silicone sealant ensures the unit remains airtight and watertight throughout its life. Overall, the composition achieves a U-value of 1.1. Rubber draught excluders on all sides deliver effective wind and water resistance, while an aluminium threshold strip protects the base against wear and moisture ingress. The spruce casing is finished with rubber sealants to ensure a weather-tight perimeter seal.

Dimensions and Delivery

The door unit measures 1854mm wide and 2072mm tall (overall frame), with a clear opening of 1508mm wide and 1826mm tall. All components are delivered as a pre-assembled, ready-to-fit unit.

Why choose Double Door GDD-1?

MACO 3-Point Security Locking

The GDD-1 is fitted with a premium 3-point lock from the MACO brand, engaging the frame at three points for superior security and reduced flex under load. Adjustable MACO hinges allow fine-tuning at installation and re-adjustment over the door's lifetime.

All-Weather Sealing System

Rubber draught excluders fitted around the entire door perimeter block wind and water ingress, while an aluminium threshold strip at the base provides durable protection against wear and moisture. The spruce casing is sealed with rubber sealants for a fully weather-tight installation. Double glazing with a 4+16+4 Low-E ESG + Argon composition achieves a U-value of 1.1, significantly reducing heat loss through the glazed panels.

Laminated Pine Construction

The 68mm finger-jointed and laminated pine profile delivers superior dimensional stability compared to solid timber, resisting warping and twisting across seasonal humidity changes. This ensures consistent operation and a reliable seal year after year.

Wide Double-Leaf Opening

With a clear opening width of 1508mm, the GDD-1 provides generous, practical access — ideal for garden rooms, garages, and summerhouses where moving furniture, equipment, or bicycles is required. The outward-opening design maximises usable interior space.
