Frequently Asked Questions
What is an Okoume veneer door?
Okoume is an African hardwood species widely used in commercial door skins for its fine, even grain and excellent paintability. An Okoume veneered door has a thin layer of this hardwood bonded over a solid chipcore, giving you the durability of a solid core door with a smooth, consistent surface ready for painting or staining.
Is this door suitable for exterior use?
No — this is a heavy-duty interior door. It is supplied raw and untreated, making it unsuitable for exposure to moisture or weather. For exterior applications, please browse our exterior door range.
Can I get this door in a custom size?
Yes. Custom sizes are available on request. Contact us at info@doorsdirect.co.za with your required dimensions and we'll provide a quote.
What does "exposed edges" (EE) mean?
Exposed edges means the chipcore is visible on the door edges — there is no lipping or edge banding applied. This is standard for doors that will be fitted into a rebated frame where the edges are not visible, or where you intend to apply your own lipping.
Can this door be painted or stained?
Yes. The Okoume veneer surface accepts both paint and stain well. Painting is recommended for the most durable and uniform finish. The door must be primed and sealed before painting as it is supplied raw.
What hardware and frame does this door require?
This door accepts standard South African interior door hardware. It is supplied as a door slab only — frames, hinges, handles, and locks are sold separately on this product page.
