This traditional joinery style is widely used in South African heritage, Cape Dutch, and Victorian-era architecture, and adds depth and character to any entrance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the fanlight on this door?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fanlight is the arched glass section at the top of the door. It allows natural light to enter the hallway or entrance while the solid panels below maintain privacy and security. The arched shape is a classic architectural feature found in many South African period homes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes this door include glass?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The door is supplied without glass. Glass for the fanlight section must be sourced and fitted separately by your glazier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does \"supplied raw\" mean?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSupplied raw means the door is unfinished — it has not been painted, stained, or sealed. This allows you to apply your preferred exterior-grade finish. We recommend sealing all surfaces, including edges and the bottom of the door, with a quality exterior paint or wood sealer before installation to protect against weathering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat are the door dimensions?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe door leaf is 813mm wide x 2032mm high x 42mm thick.
