Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the fire door blank requires careful measurement against the existing frame. As an unfinished product, it is critical to apply a high-quality exterior grade sealant, paint, or wood stain to all sides of the door immediately upon receipt. Failure to seal the door will lead to wood movement, warping, or moisture ingress. Ensure you use appropriate fire-rated hinges and hardware that comply with local building regulations. Regular maintenance involves checking the perimeter seals for gaps and reapplying protective finishes as the initial coating shows signs of wear to ensure the door retains its protective properties.
