Door Trimming and Fitting Guidelines

Trimming Limits:

• Doors with 10mm or more lipping: Maximum trim of 6mm per
  side.
• Doors with 6mm lipping: Maximum trim of 3mm per side.
• Non fire-rated doors: Further trimming possible but may
  expose the core, which must be sealed or re-lipped.

Note: Trimming beyond these limits will void the guarantee. 

Hardware Installation: 

• Avoid fitting locks or latches at rail or glazing bar joints
  to prevent weakening the door.
• Recommend using three hinges for better
  rigidity and strength.

Fire-Rated Doors (FD30):

• Must be installed per the fire certificate.
• Fitter is responsible for ensuring intumescent strips or
  seals are installed as specified.

Sealing Untreated Products:

• Fully seal all surfaces, including tops, bottoms, and
  recesses for hinges, locks, handles, and letter plates, before hanging the
  door.
• Unsuitable Sealants: Avoid using waxes, oils (e.g., Yacht
  varnish, Osmo Oil, Danish Oil), and water-based sealants. Using these will void
  the guarantee.

Pre-Finished Products:

• Re-seal exposed areas after any alterations.
• White primed products should receive a final top coat,
  especially where the priming was removed.

Preparation for Finishing:

• Lightly sand, de-nib, and clean all surfaces before the
  initial sealing and before applying the final coat.
• Consistency in Finishing: Use the same manufacturer/brand
  for all coats to avoid reactions and ensure full sealing. Mixing products will
  void the guarantee.

Flooring and Door Deliveries:
Once your order is received, we aim to process deliveries quickly. The typical delivery time is between 3 to 5 business days, although it may be longer during peak seasons, weekends, or public holidays. All flooring and door deliveries are curb-side, meaning you will need to bring the goods into your property. If this could be an issue, please let us know at the time of your order to discuss alternative delivery options.

Important Notes

• Deliveries may be made using various commercial vehicles, including up to 18-tonne lorries. We assume that your property is accessible to these types of vehicles.
• Large quantities of flooring cannot be delivered to properties with stepped access, flats above the ground floor (even if a lift is available), or communal areas. For flats, your order will be left at the external doorstep on the ground floor. For properties with stepped access, the flooring will be left at the bottom of the steps.
• Drivers may need assistance with unloading larger items. If access is likely to be an issue, please let us know at the time of your order to discuss alternative delivery options.
• Deliveries to certain areas, such as Scotland, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Wight, the Isle of Man, Northern Ireland, and others, may take longer than the usual delivery time.
• We currently only ship within the UK and do not accept orders for the EU or other international locations.
