Why Choose a Meranti Glass Pivot Door?
Meranti is a premium hardwood widely used in South African joinery for its straight grain, dimensional stability, and excellent paint and stain acceptance. Kiln-drying ensures the timber is moisture-stabilised before leaving the factory, reducing the risk of warping or movement after installation. The pivot operation — rather than a conventional side-hung mechanism — allows for wider, heavier door leaves and creates a distinctive architectural statement at any entrance.
The six horizontal glass panes maximise light transmission while the solid timber rails maintain structural integrity and provide a bold visual rhythm across the door face.
Finishing Guidance
Meranti accepts both oil-based and water-based stains and paints readily. For exterior or semi-exterior applications, use a UV-resistant exterior-grade stain or paint system and prime all faces including the top and bottom edges before hanging. A clear exterior varnish will showcase the natural timber grain; a dark ebony or walnut stain creates a dramatic contrast against the glass panes.
