Frequently Asked Questions
What does "half split" mean?
A half split door is divided horizontally into two equal halves. The top half features a large glass opening and the bottom half is a solid panel. This is different from a stable door — a half split door operates as a single unit and is not independently openable at each half.
Is glass included with this door?
No. The door is supplied without glass. This allows you to specify your preferred glazing — clear, frosted, tinted, laminated, or safety glass — from your local glazier after the door is installed.
What is Meranti timber?
Meranti is a dense, durable tropical hardwood widely used in South Africa for exterior doors, windows, and frames. It accepts paint and stain finishes well and performs reliably in outdoor conditions when properly sealed and maintained.
Is this door suitable for exterior use?
Yes. This door is designed and rated for exterior applications. To ensure longevity, all faces, edges, and end grain should be primed and painted or stained with a quality exterior-grade finish before and after installation.
Can this door be used as a stable door?
The full pane top solid bottom door is also available in a stable door configuration where the top and bottom halves open independently. Contact us for details.
