FAQs
What type of wood is used for the Suffolk Essential door?
The door is crafted with real American white oak.
Does the door come pre-finished?
No, the door is supplied unfinished and requires treatment (staining, painting, or varnishing) before installation.
What are the benefits of the engineered core?
The engineered core offers superior sound insulation and heat retention compared to basic doors.
Can I trim the edges of the door?
Yes, the door features 20mm lippings on all edges, allowing for trimming to achieve a precise fit. Ensure you do not trim beyond this allowance.
How many panels does the 18" door have?
Due to its size, the 18" (457mm) door is crafted with a reduced number of panels, differing from the classic 6-panel design of larger sizes.
Is this door suitable for exterior use?

What maintenance is required?

Troubleshooting
Door is difficult to close or sticks.
Check if the door has warped due to humidity. Ensure it has been properly sealed on all sides. Minor sticking can sometimes be resolved by light sanding on the affected edge, followed by re-finishing. Ensure hinges are correctly aligned and the frame is square.
Uneven finish after applying stain/paint.
Ensure the door surface was clean and smooth before application. Apply finishes in thin, even coats, following the manufacturer's instructions. If the issue persists, sanding back and reapplying may be necessary.
Lippings are trimmed too much.
It is not possible to re-add lipping material. Ensure accurate measurements before trimming. If a significant amount has been trimmed, consider if a different door size might be more appropriate for future installations.
