Frequently Asked Questions

What specific waterproofing treatment is applied to the surface?

The door receives a three-coat UV-cured polyester finish that forms a cross-linked barrier. This system passes ASTM D870-09 water immersion testing (72 hours at 38°C) with zero blistering, and ASTM D4587-05 accelerated weathering (2000 hours) with less than 5% gloss loss.

Can the door be trimmed for non-standard rough openings?

Maximum trimming is 10mm from the bottom and 5mm from each side. Top and hinge stiles must not be trimmed. This ensures the waterproof finish remains intact on all edges. For larger adjustments, we recommend ordering custom dimensions.

Is this door suitable for direct exposure to rain without an overhang?

Yes, the factory finish is designed for full exterior exposure. However, we recommend installing a drip cap above the door and maintaining a 10mm clearance at the bottom to prevent standing water contact with the end grain. The bottom edge is sealed with an additional coat of waterproof sealant.

What wood species are available for the waterproof finish?

Standard options include African mahogany (Khaya ivorensis), red oak (Quercus rubra), meranti (Shorea spp.), and sapele (Entandrophragma cylindricum). Each species is kiln-dried to 8–12% moisture content before finishing. Custom species can be sourced for volume orders.

How is the door sealed against water at the joints?

All stile-to-rail joints are assembled with waterproof polyurethane adhesive (D4 grade per EN 204) and mechanical dowels. After assembly, joints are sanded flush and receive the same three-coat finish as the face. No open seams or gaps remain that could allow capillary water ingress.
