  1. 6 points to keep in mind when installing external Oakwood doors. Trade Flooring

  2. Introduction • Oakwood doorsmake for a great first impression. They exude a level of opulence no mass produced steel or fiberglass door ever could. Therefore, if you are thinking of installing one, go right ahead but remember to keep these 6 points in mind.

  3. Pre-hung or slab doors. • The first thing you’ll have to do choose between pre-hung and slab doors. Pre-hung doors come with their own frame and usually have hinges and an outer-frame already installed. • Slab doors on the other hand come with nothing, just the door and nothing else. If your home is a new construction, it makes sense to go for a pre-hung door. • Pre-hung is also the best way to go about things if your existing doorframe has warped over time or got damaged while removing the existing door. • However, if your doorframe is good and you want to save money, you can opt for a slab and then bore holes for a lock set, screw-in the hinges and install the door yourself.

  4. You’ll have to choose the finish, the type of vanish, the color of paint (if you choose to paint), the shade of wood, etc. • The cost and the look of your door will change depending on the permutation and combination you go for.

  5. What do you want the door to look like? • You’ll have to choose the finish, the type of vanish, the color of paint (if you choose to paint), the shade of wood, etc. • The cost and the look of your door will change depending on the permutation and combination you go for.

  6. Get all the measurements right. • You’ll have to choose the finish, the type of vanish, the color of paint (if you choose to paint), the shade of wood, etc. • The cost and the look of your door will change depending on the permutation and combination you go for.

  7. Hardware. • All Oakwood doors, pre-hung or slab, do not come with hardware installed. This means you will have to source and fit a lock set for your door. • It makes sense to do a little research about the hardware available and then purchase the one you think is the best. Try not to cut costs and the locket is what keeps burglaries at bay and your house safe.

  8. Glass • Glass is another great addition to wood doors. They add character to the door and ensure it leave a lasting first impression. However, safety is always a concern as glass is easily broken into. That said, you could try hurricane-rated glass as it relatively much harder to break into and should keep any miscreants at bay.

  9. Warranty on Oakwood doors. • Always look for a sourcing and fitting company that’s ready to provide warranty on the door. This warranty should cover raw material and installation defects that could show-up a few years down the line and cost you money. • Also remember to give the exclusions, terms and conditions a thorough run-through so as to save you from any unexpected bumps later on.
