- As
with all timber products manufactured for external use, performance
is reliant on both intial and ongoing maintenance. If a small
area of the product is untreated or if the exterior seal bcomes
cracked, moisture will penetrate ( or escape in summer months!)
causing the door to expand or contract at an abnormal rate. This
is the most common reason for a door to fail.
- Oak is a by-word
for strength and durability but this must not be confused with
the fact it is most vulnerable and can easily be degraded if constantly
exposed to Rain or Hot Sun
- A South/South
Westerly elevation facing the prevailing weather is the worst
scenario. To preserve the beautiful appearance and to guarantee
long, trouble free service, it is essential tp provide asequate
shelter from the worst elements of the weather
