Timber doors

In order to prevent the breakdown of solid timber doors due to UV rays and weather, it is crucial to finish your door correctly.

Timber doors shouldn’t be finished in a dark colour (Colour requires to have a LRV rating of higher than 40%), as this attracts the heat, if you do finish in a dark colour it will void the warranty on the door.

Timber doors need to be sealed (6 sides) within 5 days of receiving the door and full coating applied within 28 days of being sealed. Oils and penetrating stains are not a sealant.

staining

Ensure all sides are coated including top and bottom of the doors in a a film-forming product.

Do not use wood oil or penetrating stain as a finish – even if this is recommended by the manufacturer, using these products will void the warranty.

BASE COAT

A translucent primer coat that’s coloured to align different timber discrepancies, while preserving the wood grain’s appearance. You may request this at the time of ordering the door. The base coat we recommend using is Sikkens HLS.

Parkwood can apply a sealer coat on stain quality timber doors in either Sikkens HLS Dark Oak or in Sikkens HLS Clear.

SECOND AND TOP COAT

A UV protector, preventing any breakdown plus a flexible coating that allows for natural movement without breaking the seal. We recommend applying two coats of Filter 7.

BASE COAT

For best results, use an oil-based primer to prevent tannins from penetrating the paint. For dark wood and wood with high tannin levels, two coats should be applied.

Ensure all sides are coated including top and bottom of the doors.

SECOND AND TOP COAT

Your door should be painted twice with exterior grade paint in a satin or semi-gloss finish.  Dark colours will void the door warranty.
