How long do solid wood doors last in Pretoria's climate?

With proper treatment and maintenance, quality hardwood doors can last 50+ years in Pretoria's climate. We apply UV-resistant finishes and weather-sealing to protect against the harsh African sun and temperature fluctuations. Meranti and mahogany are particularly well-suited to our local conditions.

Do wooden doors warp in Pretoria's heat?

Properly kiln-dried and acclimatized wood with professional sealing rarely warps. We source wood that's been dried to moisture levels appropriate for Pretoria's climate and apply protective finishes to all six sides of the door. Premium hardwoods like meranti and mahogany have excellent dimensional stability.

Can you match existing woodwork in my Pretoria home?

Yes! We specialize in matching wood species, grain patterns, and finishes to your existing trim, floors, and cabinetry. We can create custom stain formulas and apply traditional or modern finishes to seamlessly integrate new doors with your home's existing character.

What maintenance do solid wood doors require?

Minimal maintenance is needed. We recommend cleaning with a damp cloth and re-applying exterior finishes every 2-3 years depending on sun exposure. Interior doors typically need no maintenance beyond occasional cleaning. We provide detailed care instructions and can perform professional refinishing services.

Absolutely. We can install solid core construction, reinforced frames, multi-point locking systems, and security hardware. For maximum security, we offer composite wood-steel doors that combine wood aesthetics with metal security, or separate security gates that complement your wooden door.
