FAQs
Is this door solid oak?
The door features American white oak in its panels, showcasing the natural grain. It has an engineered core for enhanced performance, rather than being entirely solid oak.
What does 'unfinished' mean?
'Unfinished' means the door comes with a raw surface, ready for you to apply your preferred paint, stain, varnish, or oil to match your interior décor. It is not pre-finished.
Can I trim this door to size?
Yes, the door has 20mm lippings on each edge, which allows for trimming to achieve a precise fit within your door frame. Always ensure you do not trim excessively and maintain an even finish.
How do I clean and maintain the door?
Clean with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive moisture. Reapply your chosen finish as needed, especially if exposed to direct sunlight.
What are the benefits of the engineered core?
The engineered core provides superior sound insulation and heat retention compared to standard hollow-core or basic solid-core doors, contributing to a quieter and more energy-efficient home.
Can this door be used for external applications?
No, this is specifically designed as an internal door and is not suitable for exterior use.
What is the warranty period for this door?
Please refer to the retailer or manufacturer's warranty information for specific details on the warranty period and coverage for this product.
Troubleshooting
Door is difficult to close or sticks
Check if the door is rubbing against the frame. Minor adjustments can often be made by planing the edge slightly or checking hinge alignment. Ensure the frame is plumb and square.
Finish is uneven or blotchy
This is likely due to improper preparation or application of the finishing product. Ensure the wood was clean and dry before finishing, and apply thin, even coats. Sand lightly between coats if recommended by the finish manufacturer.
Excessive noise transfer
While the engineered core provides good insulation, ensure the door is properly sealed within the frame. Check for gaps around the door and consider using draught excluders or acoustic seals if soundproofing is critical.
Wood appears warped or cupped
Ensure the door has been stored flat and in a stable environment before and after finishing. Extreme fluctuations in humidity can affect timber. Ensure the finish is applied to all sides to help balance moisture absorption.
