Can my door be painted, stained, oiled or waxed?
Internal Doors - All types of Internal doors can be treated with paint or vanish type finishes. Be sure to apply amply coats to a new door and fresh coats periodically.
ALWAYS APPLY A FINISH TO ALL SIX SIDES OF YOUR DOOR BEFORE HANGING. If you do not comply with this rule your guarantee may be void.
NEVER use a ‘water-based’ product on your new laminate doors, frames and panels as it may cause peeling.
External Doors (Paint) - External doors, frames and panels may be treated with exterior quality paint. A primer coat, 2 undercoats and 2 gloss coats are recommended. Be sure to seal both the top edge and bottom edge underneath to prevent moisture from entering the timber.
External Doors (Stain or Varnish) - External Doors, frames and panels may be treated with a ‘spirit-based micro porous’ treatment of quality exterior grade. A pre-dec coat and four top coats are recommended. Be sure to seal both the top edge and bottom edge underneath to prevent moisture entering the timber. A pigmented treatment should be used to protect the timber from ultraviolet rays. Clear varnish alone is not sufficient to protect the timber.
NEVER use a ‘water-based’ product on your new external doors, frames and panels. These do not give adequate protection for your external doors.
