This is a high quality UK made door with exact pressings as per original
The frame is hot dipped galvanised and the zinc plated steel skin is marine bonded to the frame to prevent corrosion through the two surfaces rubbing together. This also stops the drumming effect & makes the door feel a lot stronger & tighter all around.
The galv steel skin is 1mm thick and adds a lot of extra strength to the overall door
This is made in the UK to precise and exact tolerances, you will not find better quality on the market!
This is a direct swap for your old rusty door with no modifications needed.
Important note, you must not sand off any of the zinc coating on the skin before painting as this will remove the zinc coating and remove it corrosion resistance.
The zinc coating on the skin is perfectly smooth as it is applied electronically. Whoever paints the panel must be given the instructions to simply go over the skin and frame with Mordant solution / T wash which etches the zinc finish black and means the paint will properly adhere. You should then go over with an etch primer, then a high build primer and then finally your colour coats. Do not sand the skin at all before any paint is applied.
A £50 fixed shipping cost is on this item for the wooden crate.
