The top and bottom of the door are sealed to prevent water infiltration.

Our finishing is done in a controlled environment to prevent dust or other imperfections getting in the finish.

The finish is sprayed, not brushed, to offer a more consistent coating.

Our finish expands and contracts with the natural movements of the wood without cracking or peeling.
