This means that it will be bare raw timber and needs to be decorated on site by you or your installer/decorator. Any product supplied in the white should be fully decorated prior to installation. Any cut-outs made for locks, hinges etc. and any edges which are cut to suit during installation will need to be fully coated as detailed below. A simple quick once over is not adequate for these areas, and they must be fully decorated. Before painting/staining your door, pin holes on beading etc. should be filled using a filler which will match your desired colour.
You should ensure that this will stain to the same shade you are wanting to achieve on the entire door. Internal doors can be treated with paint or varnish type finishes. Some types such as the oak engineered internal doors may be treated with Danish Oil (for example Briwax Danish Oil, Osmo Door Oil, or similar). Be sure to apply four coats to a new door and fresh coats periodically. NEVER use any of the following types of products: - * Water based, be it a varnish or paint (eg. Ronseal Quick Drying Woodstain) * Natural/Plant oil other than those mentioned above (Vegetable, Soya Bean, Linseed oil etc. or any product based on these, unless specifically formulated for use on doors). These will cause adverse effects to your doors and void your warranty. Please note: Doors in high humidity areas such as airing cupboards, bathrooms and shower rooms etc. require a treatment that will protect against such high humidity. An external quality treatment may be required to maintain the correct moisture content as mentioned below otherwise the door may fail if excess moisture is absorbed.
Be sure to seal inside lock cut outs, behind hinges, both the top edge and bottom edge underneath the door, and door sides to prevent moisture entering the timber. This is because the timber has a specific moisture content that must be maintained. Failure to do so will void your warranty. Both sides of the door should be done at the same time to ensure correct moisture content is maintained throughout the entire thickness of the door. Failure to do this can result in one side drying out causing the door to bow. Briwax Original Wax Polish These are some suggestions but before applying wax or Danish oil you MUST contact the manufacturer before using to ensure suitability. Briwax Technical Advice Centre: 0208 658 2299 We are stockists on both Briwax Danish Oil and Briwax Original Wax Polish. See our Decorating Products section for more information. Regardless of how many coats any particular treatment product may say is required, our terms and conditions require the minimum as detailed above.
Regular maintenance of coatings is a must. Over time UV rays, weather, as well as general wear and tear, will break down the decoration on the products. This is the same for all treatments that may be applied or are factory applied. Application of top up coats should be applied with a maximum duration between each coat of 2 years. However this will vary depending upon your location and the wearing of the coating. In extreme circumstances it may be required as often as every 6 months. If any door (and/or frame) manufacturer has given finishing advice then this must be adhered to over the advice given above. This especially applies to items such as external doors when being fitted in internal locations. Such doors may require an exterior quality finish when fitted internally. We advise that clear varnish is not used with hardwood (including oak) doors. By this we mean that within our website many doors are termed ‘hardwood’ and a specific hardwood species in not given. In this case there may be different species or sub-species used in the same item.
While these may be very similar in colour prior to varnishing/treating they may be completely different after treating. Clear varnish can exaggerate this difference. By no means will a coloured stain/varnish eliminate the possibility of this but it does reduce the risk. Such a colour difference is not considered a defect. More information on this is detailed in our Terms page. Normally we will provide pin holes in beadings and mouldings unfilled. This is to ensure you can match the filler to your chosen colour of decoration. In the past, we have filled pin holes with filler matching the bare timber, only to receive complaints that this does then not match after the door is decorated. If we put in a darker shade of filler, and the doors are clear waxed, we receive the same complains but because the filler is too dark. Similar applies for customers who want to use a very dark colour decorating product. We cannot pre-fill the pin holes with something that matches all suitable decoration products while ensuring that all customers tastes and preferences are matched.
A clear varnish/stain can exaggerate the colour difference between the timber and the filler. A coloured stain does tend to help any filler match better. If any pin holes are not filled these should be done with a weatherproof filler, if external, and the colour chosen to match your final treatment. We can supply small off-cuts of timber if required so that you can test your filler and decoration together before applying to the doors. While every effort is made to ensure all traces of adhesive are removed from the door, unfortunately sometimes there may be traces which remain after cleaning and sanding. This is not considered a defect. Often these are not visible until the first coat of treatment has been applied. If any glue marks show during application of the first coat then immediately sand the area using a fine grain sandpaper or wire wool to remove them; then quickly re-apply the treatment used.
