Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before installation, ensure you allow the door to acclimatize to the room's temperature and humidity for at least 24 hours. Because the oak is unfinished, it is critical to apply a protective coat to all surfaces—including the top, bottom, and side edges—before hanging the door. This prevents moisture ingress that can lead to wood movement. When trimming the door to fit your frame, do not remove more than the manufacturer's recommended amount from any edge to maintain the integrity of the solid core. Regular maintenance involves dusting with a soft cloth and reapplying wood finish if the surface begins to look dry or loses its luster.
