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 being on site and full coating applied within 28 days of being sealed. Oils and penetrating stains are not a sealant.
