Care and Maintenance
Wood decay, also know as fungal infestation, occurs when unprotected
wood is exposed to damp conditions over time. Mould spores develop,
sending root-like feelers into the wood. These feelers produce enzymes
that break down wood fibres as a food source. As the wood fibres
break down, the structural integrity weakens until the wood is completely
destroyed.
To prevent this, we recommend that you clean any mould and dirt
from external doors at least once a year. An annual inspection of
all exposed wood is essential.
- Paint doors according to paint manufacturer's
instructions immediately after delivery on all six faces.
- Seal all joints and corners to prevent
water infiltration.
- Repair any cracks or damage to the paint
immediately.
