If you like the warmth of oak but want something with a little more detail, our Mexicano/Ely doors are well worth a look. The Mexicano style has a distinctive vertical-grooved design that gives the door plenty of character while keeping the overall look clean and understated. It’s a versatile choice that can sit comfortably in a more traditional home, as well as working nicely alongside simpler, contemporary interiors.
There’s plenty of choice within the collection, too. Our Mexicano doors include unfinished oak designs that arrive pre-sanded and ready for staining, waxing or varnishing, alongside pre-finished options if you’d prefer the oak finish already taken care of. You’ll also find glazed Mexicano styles, as well as fire Close options for areas where FD30 performance is required.
Ely doors are Deanta’s take on the Mexicano style, with the range including oak options in both unfinished and pre-finished forms. Looking to add a splash of colour and personality to your home? We also offer white primed Ely doors, perfect for further customising your door to your space and taste.
Whether you’re replacing one door or giving several rooms a refresh, the Mexicano/Ely style gives you plenty of scope to bring natural warmth and a bit of character into your home. Take a look through the collection to find your favourite, or call us on 0345 0268 799 if you’d like some help choosing the right door for your project.

Mexicano/ Ely Doors FAQS
Do Mexicano/Ely doors work better in traditional or modern homes?
They work well in both. The vertical grooves give the doors a clear sense of character, which makes them a natural fit for traditional interiors with plenty of natural materials and classic detailing. At the same time, the clean, evenly spaced lines can work just as well in a modern home, particularly when paired with a painted, darker or natural oak finish. So whether you're complementing an older-style interior or adding some detail to a more contemporary space, the Mexicano/Ely design gives you plenty of scope to make it work.
Why choose a glazed Mexicano/Ely door?
Glazing is a good option if you'd like to bring more light into a room or keep two adjoining spaces feeling connected. It can be particularly useful between a hallway and living space, or anywhere that doesn't get much natural light of its own. At Savoy Timber, our collection includes a number of glazed options, including models with etched and bevelled glass, giving you different ways to achieve the look you want.
Do you offer nationwide delivery on Mexicano/Ely doors?
Yes, we’re proud to offer nationwide delivery, so you can order your Mexicano/Ely doors wherever you’re based in the UK. The delivery service available will depend on the products in your order and your postcode, with some areas subject to additional charges. You’ll be able to see the available delivery options and costs when you enter your postcode at checkout. If you’re ordering several doors for a larger project and want to check the arrangements beforehand, our team can also help with any questions you have about delivery.
What colour should I paint my Mexicano/Ely doors?
If you’ve chosen a primed door, painting it gives you plenty of freedom to make the finish work with the rest of your room. Soft whites and warm neutrals can keep things simple, while muted greens, deep blues or charcoal shades can give the door more presence. You could also pick out a colour that’s already used elsewhere in the room, helping the door feel like part of the overall scheme.
If you’re going for a natural oak look instead, we also have pre-finished options available, so you don’t necessarily need to paint the door at all – just make sure the particular Mexicano or Ely door you’ve chosen is supplied ready for painting before you start.
Can I come and see your doors in person before ordering?
Absolutely! If you’re still not sure whether a certain door is right for your space, seeing it in person can really help you get a feel for the finish, colour and overall style before making your decision. At the same time, our expert team can offer face-to-face support through the process, answering any questions and helping you find the perfect door for your space.
To see our doors in person, you’re always welcome to visit us in our Preston, Blackpool or Wigan stores.
