Inside the Monroe door
The Monroe is the all-rounder — classic 75mm proportions that sit comfortably in any era of house. Like every door in the Timber Painted collection it is built from 20mm kiln-dried solid ash around a stable veneered centre panel, hand-finished in polyurethane matt paint with a 1mm chamfer painted through. Because the timber is real, the paint is renewable — the Monroe can be sanded back and repainted in place, years from now.

About This Style
If you only remember one door from this family, make it the Monroe: 75mm frames wide enough to read traditional, trim enough to stay current. This page is the Monroe in full: a solid timber matt painted door — as the catalogue designates it — built from 20mm kiln-dried ash and hand-painted to the colour you choose.
How it works: 75mm solid ash stiles and rails frame a stable veneered centre panel; the finish is polyurethane matt paint with a 1mm chamfer painted through, and hinges are soft-close Blum. Because the wood is real, the paint is renewable — the Monroe can be sanded and repainted in place years from now, so a colour change is a decorator’s visit, not a new wardrobe.
Make it yours: painted to order (shades matched at your free home visit), ten Kronospan interior colours, floor-to-ceiling runs, over-bed builds, alcoves, walk-ins and corners — every carcass cut to your room in our Wembley workshop. Compare the family using the door styles above.
Every Monroe wardrobe is made to measure in North London and installed by our own fitters with a 10-year guarantee.
