Everybody takes internal doors for granted, although these are important in every house, as they provide privacy and reduce noise.
As part of the house matching in with existing doors and decoration is important, downstairs you may need extra light brought into some areas by having part or fully glazed internal doors, the upstairs internal doors will require privacy and yet by installed glass at the very top or above the door frame can allow light to pass through to the hallway.
There are many choices of wood and finishes as well as door furniture that are available along with a photo gallery of example doors and previous client work we can help you to choose the right design to compliment your home.
Maintaining your joinery
Even the most durable hardwood needs looking after to stay looking its best, meaning that a little DIY may be needed. Here are some tips to maximise the life of wooden doors and windows keeping them looking great year after year.
Protecting your doors and windows
When painted, your doors and windows will last for decades as long as they are maintained. It’s vital that they are primed, undercoated and then top-coated to ensure that they are sealed from the weather. Our paint finished joinery items are protected with four thick coats of paint prior to delivery. With hardwood doors and windows, oils or varnishes are also a good alternative to paints. Similarly with paint, they must be maintained and reapplied when called for.
Cleaning
It may seem obvious, but giving your windows and doors a wipe down twice a year can go along way in helping to maintain them. Start by wiping them with a dry cloth to remove any dust, then with a damp non-abrasive cloth or sponge and warm water with mild soap you can start to clean them going in the direction of the wood grain. The finishing stage is to use a soft rag to wipe them dry.
