What is the thickness of your ledge and brace doors?
As standard all of our door boards are 21mm thick as are the ledges and braces, although we do make everything on site to order so we can machine to different thicknesses if required.
How do you construct a ledge and brace door kit?
There is no set procedure for this but we would advise clamping the door boards together, we do not glue in between boards as this allows movement, we set the ledges 200mm from the top and bottom of the door and the middle ledge in the middle of the door. As standard our ledges are cut 30mm shorter than the width of the door to allow closing into the frame, so leave 15mm either side of the ledge when positioning. Once in place apply glue and clamp down onto the boards and we air nail and glue the ledges onto the boards. Although this can be done with any method of fixing you prefer.
What are your delivery times?
As everything is made on site to order we do have varying lead times depending on what product you require and how busy we are at point of order, please contact us and a member of our team will be able to give you more information.
What courier do you use?
We use a variety of delivery options depending on type of product ordered and quantity. However most orders are sent with a local designated courier, once the order is ready it collected from us and delivered straight to the customers house. This practically removes damages and late deliveries etc.
What coating would you apply to an exterior door or frame?
We use a Treatex UV Oil to coat our exterior door and frames if a coating is required, this is a 2 part system and has a light sand in between coats. We do also offer an exterior water based lacquer if you want something that has a glossy finish.
What size door linings do you offer?
Our door linings are 21mm x 120mm as standard but we can machine at any size you require, just contact a member of our team for more information. A door lining set would consist of 2 legs at 2100mm and a head at 1000mm. Our door lining sets also include the door stops at 44mmx12mm.
