Maintenance

Pine doors

To increase their life span, pine doors should be treated before fitting and maintained once to three times a year, or as necessary, using colourless glazing paint. Never apply a finishing coat to a pine door. There is a great risk of cracks forming when the door is exposed to the sun, wind and rain without any maintenance. Choosing a primed door from LeksandsDörren is a good start. Factory-glazed doors should also be maintained as above. Clean the door surface with warm water and let it dry properly before applying glazing paint.

Teak doors

When they leave the factory, teak doors are treated once with teak oil, but before fitting they should be treated once more to saturate the teak. To keep the finish and durability you should treat the door with teak oil at least twice a year, or as necessary. Requirements vary, depending on how exposed the door's positioning is to sun, rain and bad weather. If the surface gets matt and dry it should be retreated. Clean the surface with warm water and let it dry properly. Then apply the teak oil using a brush or sponge.

Primed doors

A primed door comes from LeksandsDörren ready-treate'd and does not normally require any special care. However, the door should be kept clean to maintain the finish and durability. It should be cleaned using warm water, perhaps with a little washing-up liquid added.

To be adjusted upon fitting and as necessary.
