CEDAR DOOR SPECIFICATION AND WARRANTY

TRADITIONAL
All the traditional Up and Over, Side hinged and Sectional range of doors are manufactured from the finest grade of Kiln Dried Western Red Cedar selected and crafted using traditional door construction methods and joints, i.e. mortice and tenon, glued and wedged on all structural timbers to give strength and a long lasting service, proven over many years of door manufacturing. All top, middle and bottom rails are solid Cedar, finished to a thickness with nominal width sizes to suit the size of door, on doors over 8'0 x 7'0 may have lateral and vertical timber or steel bracings (with the exception of side hinged doors) to give strength and stability to the door also to minimise bowing and deflection to the door when in an over-head position.

SHERWOOD
Sherwood range of timber doors are manufactured using selected kiln dried 16mm Cedar facings glue bonded on to 6mm exterior plywood backing sheets of nominal widths to suit door size and style. They are then mounted into a pre-finished Aluminium boundary frame with steel lateral bracings to reinforce the strength of the panel.

GLAZING
Glazing in Traditional doors is of 4mm safety glass in plain, stippled pattern with either plain, diamond or square leaded design. In Sherwood doors it is of Acrylic pvc sheet in either plain or stippled. Timber is an organic substrate material with natural characteristics than can acclimitise itself, no matter the "species" to different environmental conditions prevailing in its localised "fixing or place". Therefore the company "CEDAR DOOR" accepts no liability or responsibility for variations occurring in our "Timber" products supplied, in any of the following descriptions i.e. "colour variations, movement either lateral or longimdinal, splitting, shakes, water damage ingress or exit, resin exudations or chemical spillages.
•    Conversely Timber substrates can naturally expand and contract according to environmental conditions.
•    Moisture content and humidity may open and close joints and some minor curvature may occur.
•    Any curvatures that occur however, will not affect the long te1m performance or life of this natural material.

Please note: Cedar is organically grown with natural colour and grain variations, this is a feature of Cedar. We make every effort to harmonise the effect by hand matching all components part used in manufacture.

Protection (Basecoat)
All timber doors and components are supplied with a dip immersion coat of Remmers colour ref: 006 Light Oak; this operation is for temporary protection for transit and installation purposes only.
Fully finishing of garage doors is available at an extra cost. If our product becomes exposed to excessive water splashes or rain it may result in water marks or stains which could affect the final coatings of the door. We recommend that the product receives a full specification of finishing coats immediately after installation to all surfaces with a Remmers Finishing coat system, all to the coatings manufacturer's instructions.

Full Factory Finishing Option
The full factory option is supplied in various coloured woodstains and will provide a 2 year erosion period. If the door becomes affected by rain soon after installation you may notice a light coloured staining on the finish of the door that will disappear when dry. This is caused by the curing process of the Remmers system which will disperse and disappear once fully cured which can usually take anything up to six months depending on many parameters. Humidity and weather conditions has no adverse effect to the quality and finish of the door.
•    Consideration should be taken into the selection of the final colour of the door in certain compass locations
i.e. the selection of dark colours for doors (south facing or in constant direct sunlight) could result in an excessive heat uptake into the substrate causing excessive extracting of moisture content (drying and effect) resulting in abnormal distortion of the door.

Storage
•    All doors are delivered with a polythene shrink-wrap protection which should be left on just prior to site coatings applications.
•    Do not puncture the polythene shrink-wrap before installation.
•    Prior to installation doors must not be stored in direct sunlight.
•    Do not expose the doors to water contamination of any description/or staining may result.
•    This does not apply to fully finished doors.
•    Door must always be stored in an upright position and protected from site and weather contaminations before fixing.

Quality Check
Timber is a natural material, defects i.e. small knots, close wide or short grain, surface shakes or splits or grain lift, although we endeavour to eliminate most of these phenomena in production, some may still appear after installation. The company (CEDAR DOOR) cannot be held responsible for any defect (Naturally Occurring) after installation.

•    A visual quality control check of every door supplied by (CEDAR DOOR) is carried out before supply.
•    The (CUSTOMER) should carry out in natural daylight (THEIR OWN VISUAL INSPECTION) prior
to installation.
•    Stand at a distance of 3 metres (10 feet) to view the overall appearance. The door is acceptable if, taking into account the facts below, none of the following is readily visiable on the face of the doors from this distance.
•    Marks or distortion associated with the manufacturing process.
•    Vertical and lateral deflection may occur up to l" (25mm) on door up to 8ft wide/height and 21 1/2" (60mm) on doors up to 16ft wide.
•    Minor indentations, marks or scuffs on the surface.
•    Minor paint or stain blemishes.
•    Any defect/anomaly must be reported to (CEDAR DOOR) within 48 hours of goods received.
