£747.07+ Price depends upon Sizes
A grid-panelled oak entrance — the driveway leaf divided into a 2×2 arrangement of composite panels, mirrored by a 2×1 pedestrian gate. Metal frame with wood-plastic composite (WPC) infill — low-maintenance and will not rot, warp or splinter. Available in a variety of colours. Call 02089116000 to discuss sizes and specification.
Description
These panelled composite driveway gates take a strictly geometric approach — the driveway leaf is divided into a two-by-two grid of oak-effect composite panels, and the pedestrian leaf mirrors the language with a two-panel stack. The result is an entrance that reads as a series of neat, rectangular WPC panels held within a crisp black metal frame rather than as continuous slatted infill.
Within each of those framed panels, the composite boards run horizontally. The framing itself is the design story — a top rail, mid-rail and vertical dividers create the grid, and the eye reads the gate as a set of tidy modules. This works particularly well between brick or stone pillars, where the panelled rhythm echoes the coursing of the surrounding masonry rather than fighting it.
Construction pairs a wood-plastic composite (WPC) infill with a metal frame — a combination that has become the default specification for higher-end contemporary driveway gates because it delivers the warmth of a timber look without any of the ongoing labour of maintaining real wood. There is no annual staining schedule, no splintering, no rot in the bottom rails, and cleaning takes soapy water and a soft brush.
The 3/4 split works with, rather than against, the panelled design. Because each leaf is already visually divided into modules, the asymmetric widths do not read as a mismatch — they read as a considered composition where the smaller pedestrian leaf is simply a proportional variation of the larger driveway leaf. For everyday foot traffic, the narrower gate is easier to open than a heavier vehicle leaf.
The oak finish is one option within a variety of colours — walnut, weathered grey and near-black are among the alternatives, and the WPC panels can be specified independently of the frame finish. Because the gates are made to fit rather than assembled from stock, the number of panels on each leaf can be adjusted to suit tall openings or wider driveways without the grid losing its proportion.
