FAQs

What does 'unglazed' mean for this door?

Unglazed means the door does not have glass panels. It features solid panels made from the natural pine veneer, allowing you to paint or stain it as desired.

How do I ensure the 30-minute fire protection is valid?

The fire protection is only valid when the door is fitted strictly in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. This includes using the correct type of frame, hinges, and ensuring no modifications are made that could compromise its integrity.

Can I install this door myself?

While installation is possible for experienced DIYers, we strongly recommend professional installation to guarantee the integrity of the 30-minute fire rating and ensure proper fitting.

What are the exact dimensions of the door?

The door dimensions are 726mm in width, 2040mm in height, and 44mm in thickness.

Can this door be used as an exterior door?

No, this is specifically designed as an internal timber door and is not suitable for external use.

What kind of paint or stain should I use?

Use high-quality interior wood paints or stains. Ensure the product is suitable for veneered wood and follow the manufacturer's application guidelines. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

How should I clean the natural pine veneer?

Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For more thorough cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth and wipe dry immediately. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive moisture.

Troubleshooting

Door does not close properly

Check if the door frame is square and plumb. Ensure hinges are correctly aligned and tightened. The door may require minor trimming if it's rubbing against the frame.

Fire rating is compromised

This is critical. If the door was not installed strictly according to manufacturer instructions, or if it has been damaged (e.g., holes drilled, excessive trimming), the fire rating may be invalid. Consult a professional installer or the manufacturer immediately.

Veneer is peeling or damaged

Ensure the door has not been exposed to excessive moisture. Minor damage can sometimes be repaired with wood filler and refinishing. For significant damage, replacement may be necessary.

Paint or stain finish is uneven

Ensure the wood surface was properly prepared (cleaned, sanded if necessary) before application. Apply thin, even coats and allow adequate drying time between layers. Avoid applying finishes in humid conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This door is designed for installation by a qualified professional to ensure the 30-minute fire rating is maintained. Ensure the door frame is sturdy and correctly sized for the 726mm x 2040mm x 44mm door. Follow manufacturer instructions meticulously for hanging, including the correct type and number of hinges and any specific ironmongery recommendations.

Care: To maintain the natural pine veneer, dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth and wipe dry immediately. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture, which can damage the veneer. If painting or staining, use products specifically designed for wood and follow the product instructions. Ensure the finish is applied evenly to all surfaces, including the top and bottom edges, to protect the wood.
