HANDLING AND STORAGE  Doors should always be stored flat, ideally in the same room where they are to be installed. Protect the door from damp and dirt by leaving it in its protective packaging until ready for finishing and fitting. Doors should not be fitted where extremes of temperature or humidity may occur, e.g. in a newly plastered room or near a sauna. In new build situations the doors should only be fitted when the property is ready for final decoration.

INSTALLATION  When trimming a door to fit, 15mm can be removed from each edge of the door to a maximum reduction of 30mm in both the height and width. Any reduction must be removed evenly from each edge of the door, e.g. to trim your door by 4mm in width, remove 2mm off each side. Three hinges should be used to hang all doors, to prevent warping or bowing. Latches and locks should not be fitted adjacent to door mid-rails where the joint may be compromised. All hardware screw holes should be pre-drilled to prevent splitting of the timber.

FINISHING  Doors will require a light sanding prior to finishing using a fine grade sandpaper (grit number 240 or 320). All timber surfaces should be fully finished. Failure to treat all the timber surfaces may lead to excessive changes in moisture content which will cause the timber to shrink or swell, possibly causing splits and distortion. Please refer to the finish manufacturer’s application instructions for further details.

DO  Use a good quality paint, stain or varnish suitable for veneered doors. Apply first coat of finish immediately after unpacking doors from protective packaging. Apply coats equally to all faces and edges including the top and bottom of the door prior to final fitting. Use the same number of coats for lock, latch and hinge cut-outs.

DO NOT  Use oils, wax, dyes or preservative treatments Use thinned/mixed paints or stains. Mix incompatible products, e.g. paint on one door face and stain on the opposite face.

MAINTENANCE  To prolong the natural beauty of your door regularly clean the surface with a damp cloth. If the finish appears to fade after a few years simply apply a single coat of finish to renew its lustre.
