Important Installation Notice
This door is designed for semi-exterior use only and must not be directly exposed to rain, wind-driven moisture, or harsh weather. It is suitable for covered entrances, enclosed patios, and internal-to-external transitions with overhead protection.
-
Inspect before installation: Check the overall appearance and finish before fitting. Do not install a defective product — no claims will be entertained after installation.
-
Sealant (critical): Apply a minimum of 3 coats of quality sealant to all six surfaces — both flat faces and all four edges, including the top and bottom end-grain edges — at installation and at regular intervals thereafter. Failure to seal all six surfaces will void the guarantee.
-
Qualified installation: Ensure a qualified carpenter or builder performs the installation. Trimming or cutting voids the warranty. If any cutting is done, re-seal those surfaces immediately.
Treatment & Care for Your New Door
-
Seal immediately after purchase with a minimum of 3 coats of quality sealant on all 6 surfaces (4 edges + 2 flat faces) to prevent moisture movement and warping.
-
Re-seal every 6 months to ensure maximum longevity.
-
Storage: Store flat on a minimum of 3 dunages spaced equally apart, in a cool, dry area.
-
Do not install while plaster or screeding is still wet. Install as close to occupation of the property as possible.
- If any planing or cutting is done at installation, re-seal those surfaces immediately.
- Failure to meet any of the above criteria will void the guarantee on the product.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size is the Gothic Studded Door?
The door measures 813 mm wide × 2032 mm high × 40 mm thick.
What timber is the Gothic Studded Door made from?
The door is manufactured from engineered pine timber for dimensional stability, assembled with exterior D3 glue throughout for moisture resistance.
Is the door supplied finished?
The door is supplied pre-stained. You must still seal it with a minimum of 3 coats of quality sealant on all six surfaces immediately after purchase, and re-seal every 6 months.
Why is sealing all six surfaces so important?
Timber moves as it absorbs or releases moisture. If the top and bottom end-grain edges are left unsealed, the door will absorb moisture unevenly, causing it to warp or bow. All six surfaces — both flat faces and all four edges — must be sealed with a minimum of 3 coats of quality sealant immediately after purchase, and re-sealed every 6 months.
Can I install this door in a fully exposed exterior opening?
No. This is a semi-exterior product and must be protected from direct rain and sunlight by an awning, roof, or similar structure. Direct weather exposure will cause warping and will void the guarantee.
Does this door come with a frame?
No. This door is supplied on its own, without a frame. Pair it with a Door Frame to complete your installation.
What hardware do I need?
No hardware is included. Complete your door with Door Handles, Door Locks and Door Hinges.
What happens if I trim or cut the door during installation?
Any trimming or cutting voids the warranty. If cutting is unavoidable, all cut surfaces must be re-sealed immediately with a quality sealant.
Can this door warp or bow after installation?
Warping is caused by uneven moisture absorption — most commonly from unsealed end-grain edges or installation in wet conditions (wet plaster, screeding). Sealing all six surfaces immediately after purchase and installing in a dry, completed environment will prevent this.
What guarantee does the door carry?
The door carries a 1-year manufacturer's guarantee, subject to the sealing and installation requirements above.
What is the lead time?
This door has an estimated lead time of 10–12 days from order confirmation.
