No, this B&Q Unglazed Cottage White Woodgrain Effect Internal Door comes with a white woodgrain effect surface, ready for you to paint or stain in your desired color. It is a 'blank canvas' for personalization.

Yes, the unglazed design means you can install your own choice of glass panel. However, you will need to source the glass and any necessary beading or fixings separately, as they are not included with the door.

Yes, it is suitable for internal use, including bathrooms, provided it is properly sealed and painted/stained on all edges (top, bottom, and sides) to protect against moisture. Ensure all finishes are moisture-resistant.

For best results, use a high-quality wood primer suitable for woodgrain surfaces, followed by an interior wood paint (e.g., eggshell, satin, or gloss) of your choice. Always follow the paint manufacturer's instructions for application and drying times.

After the paint has fully cured (check paint manufacturer guidelines for this), clean the door with a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive household cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges, as these can damage the finish.

Most internal doors allow for a small amount of trimming (typically up to 5-10mm from each edge). However, always check the manufacturer's specific guidelines or consult a professional before trimming to avoid damaging the door's structure or voiding any warranty.

For a standard internal door of this size and thickness (35mm), three quality butt hinges are generally recommended for stability and proper hanging. Ensure the hinges are strong enough to support the door's weight and are compatible with your chosen door frame.

Check hinge alignment and tightness. If the door has warped slightly or if the frame is uneven, minor planing of the door edge or re-positioning hinges may be necessary. Ensure correct clearances (typically 2-3mm at the top and sides, 5-10mm at the bottom).

Ensure the door surface was clean, dry, and lightly sanded before applying primer and paint/stain. Use a high-quality primer suitable for woodgrain surfaces. Allow sufficient drying time between coats and ensure the primer and paint are compatible. In some cases, a different primer may be needed.

Examine the strike plate on the door frame. It may need to be adjusted slightly to align perfectly with the door latch. Also, check that the door is hung level and plumb. Lubricating the latch mechanism with a suitable dry lubricant can also help.
