The doors the missus likes are 1981 high and the door frames were designed for a 2040 door. I do need a bit of a larger gap than normal under the doors (ventilation system requirements) but still, i'm looking at needing another 35 to 40mm on the door height. Joinery co says no way, can't even sell me any wood that the doors are made from and can't make em custom
Any recommendations how to go about it? Should I order unfinished doors, glue/screw a strip of wood to the bottom then sand and finish the door? Should I do it top and bottom (20mm on each)?
The door has decorative grooves on in various directions (XL joinery salerno); is it worth trying to find strip wood that has a rebate along the edge that will be glued? Should I buy a router and rout the groove in myself after gluing?
Thinking it might better hide the join (or it might draw attention to it)
Any recommendations/suggestions? Cheers!
