Urban Front Company Profile

Urban Front was established in 2003 and is a specialist in the design and manufacture of bespoke contemporary doors to clients around the world. From the workshop and showroom based in Buckinghamshire, doors are manufactured using superior quality materials coupled with excellent design and customer service.

Urban Front prides itself on being the only UK manufacturer that makes steel reinforced hand crafted solid wood and pivot doors up to 2400mm high and 1200mm wide. The design team works closely with the client throughout the design and manufacturing process to ensure complete satisfaction. Every external door is registered with the UK Intellectual Property Office, making each door distinctive in design and completely bespoke.

Design and Services

All doors are designed by Nabil and Elizabeth Assaf and both have many years of experience creating unique and stunning doors which provide a lovely feature to any property. The company utilises the latest machinery; but much of the door fabrication is carried by hand and checked and double checked to ensure a superior finish.
