| TEAK
DOORS |
| The
natural oil content of teak gives it a very good resistance to harsh
weather and other strains. Our teak doors come with two coats of oil.
To preserve the finish, the doors should be treated with teak oil
several times a year. |
MAINTENANCE
To ensure proper maintenance, begin by cleaning the
surface with diluted ammonia or rub it with a fine-grained sandpaper
in the direction of the wood. Apply teak oil. Repeat once the surface
has dried and become matt. Remove any excess oil. A small bottle of
teak oil is included. |
| OAK
DOORS |
| Our exterior doors in oak are supplied with satin etched, acid cured two component varnish to protect the oak from miscolouring and black spots. Regularly check that the varnish is still intact. When re-varnishing the door, sand the varnish down using fine grained sand paper and re-varnish. Consult your paint dealer for advice. |
MAINTENANCE
Clean the door with a damp rag. Car wax is excellent for maintaining surface shine. Surface damage should be repaired immediately with varnish to prevent moisture ingress. The door is coated with a clear, acid cured two component varnish. When re-varnishing, flatten the surface before painting. Consult your paint dealer for advice. |
| CHERRY
DOORS |
| Cherry
doors are finished with three coats of yacht varnish. This creates
a glossy finish that is easy to keep clean with a damp cloth. To revarnish
a cherry door, rub the surface until it acquires a matt appearance
and brush with one-component varnish. |
| PINE
and SPRUCE DOORS |
| Pine
doors come with no finish and must be treated before mounting. |
MAINTENANCE
Pine
doors should be maintained regularly to prevent swelling and cracking.
Use a glazing paint or alkyd paint, followed by a colourless wood
oil. |
| Storeroom
door - Yd 23 spruce – we recommend an alkyd paint
or glazing paint, followed by a colourless wood oil. Maintain regularly
to prevent swelling and cracking. |
| Warm
storeroom pine - Yd 32 – not
suitable for normal paints due to the pine veneer finish. We recommend
glazing, oil or an alkyd paint. Sun, wind and rain can lead to cracks
in the finish of a pine door, as it is a living material. The cracks
do not affect the door’s functionality or density. It just shows
that the door is made from a natural material. |
| PAINTED
DOORS |
|
Our
doors are finished in several stages. First they are polished in
a machine and then by hand. Primer is hand-sprayed and the door
is then machine- and hand-polished again. Finally, two coats of
glossy, water-repellent alkyd paint are hand-sprayed onto the door.
A painted door requires moderate maintenance, provided it is covered
by a roof or other projecting structure and is not exposed to direct
sunlight.
|
MAINTENANCE
Clean
the door with a damp cloth. Car wax is good for ensuring a glossy
surface. Damage to the surface should be repaired immediately by applying
more paint to ensure that no moisture seeps in. To repaint a painted
door, rub the surface with sandpaper until it becomes matt and brush
with alkyd paint. Painted doors can be painted in any colour from
the NCS or RAL scales. |
IMPORTANT!
Glazes
and wood oil contain linseed oil. Cloths, sponges and other absorbent
materials that have been immersed in linseed oil may self-ignite. |
