XL Joinery

XL Joinery: a West Yorkshire door specialist

XL Joinery describes itself as a company that does "everything doors" and nothing else. Operating from a head office in West Yorkshire, the business supplies interior and exterior timber doors together with associated joinery products, and states that it ships 600,000 doors a year through its network of suppliers, a figure it equates to roughly 1,600 doors a day. The company traces its origins to Batley more than 30 years ago and reports having worked with wood for over three decades.

Its products reach the market through builders' merchants and retailers across the UK rather than solely through direct sales; the website includes a postcode-based stockist finder for locating the nearest retailer. Separate entry points exist for homeowners and for trade and professional customers.

Interior door collections

The interior catalogue is organised by material, style and finish. Buyers can filter by oak, solid oak, pine, walnut and laminate, and by panelled, moulded, glazed, unglazed, cottage, Shaker, modern, 1930s, traditional and barn styles. Finishes include pre-finished, unfinished, white primed, white, black, grey, coloured and neutral options.

Named ranges include Mode by XL, The Oak Essentials, Suffolk and Palermo. The company presents Mode by XL as a high-performance laminate line designed for busy homes and easy maintenance, positioned as premium quality without a premium price tag. The Oak Collection is described as a mix of traditional and contemporary styles, while the Walnut Collection highlights the dark, tight grain of walnut and the White Collection emphasises clean lines and a minimalist single-colour look.

Interior solutions extend to fire doors, bi-fold doors and double doors.

Exterior doors, fire doors and doorsets

External doors are grouped by material (oak, Tricoya, Accoya, pine and hardwood), by style (glazed, unglazed, cottage, Victorian, traditional, modern and stable doors) and by finish (white, black, pre-finished, unfinished and painted). The range also covers front doors, back doors, French doors, gates and side lights, with a dedicated Tricoya external range.

On the fire side, the company distinguishes FD30 and FD60 ratings and supplies fire-rated accessories, frames and linings, handles, hinges and locks. Its Simpli fire doorset solutions and the wider doorset line include internal doorsets, Simpli Advanced® and apartment entrance doorsets.

Sliding systems, pairs and accessories

Under door solutions, XL Joinery lists pocket doors (standard, fire-rated and double), room dividers, the Easi-Glide, Easi-Slide, Easi-Frame and Freefold systems, rebated door pairs and pair makers, and wardrobe door fittings. The accessories catalogue covers internal and external door handles, architectural linings, architrave, door frames, ancillaries, weather bars, weather strip, finishing products and plastic sheeting.

Made to measure and colour matching

Where a required width or length falls outside the standard collection, the company offers a made-to-measure service to manufacture doors to custom dimensions. Its Colours by XL finishes are presented as developed to complement different design briefs, and free swatch samples of these finishes can be requested online. A brochure is also available for download.

Sustainability and sourcing

XL Joinery states that more than 90% of its wood is cut from certified forests and that it tracks the origin of its timber to avoid sourcing from illegal forests. It describes itself as a carbon-neutral company that measures its emissions and offsets CO2 through a tree-planting scheme, while also working to reduce emissions year on year; it cites a 2021 switch to PIR sensor lighting as one such measure. The site also references a PAS 2060 statement, an environmental policy statement, an ethical sourcing policy and a responsible timber procurement policy.
