Thread: Sealing and staining KDHW doors and windows

hi
I am in the building game and yes it better to get a coat on before you put doors windows in, but as long as you get the tops and bottoms sealed you can do them up (the doors probaly will need fitting as they adjust to there new conditions) we have found the Sicons range is good (HLS then filter 7 )

yeh typical building industry.......they will always tell you, whatever it is, can be done later......."they" want to complete, get paid and go.

It is always better to finish doors and windows when they are not fitted.

Many government contracts require painters to remove every door and window and all the handles, knobs and locks to be finished.

My brother has done this work for a painter mate many times.

french windows are fiddly, and soo much easier to do laying flat at a good working height.....if you realy need to be faster and want to do both sides at once .

hang em by screws in the hinge holes.

SOOOO many doors never get sealed and finsied properly on the top and bottom and as a result fail some years later.

As long as you mark all the hardware and don't lay excessive thickness of finish in the hinge slots, they should do back up no problem.

cheers
