Handling & Storage
Our joinery products and timber door sets are delivered to site ready for installation. However, for this to be completed satisfactory, it is important that certain handling, storage, finishing, and installation requirements are met.
Our guidelines outline the procedures that must take place in accordance with guidance offered by BS 8000 Part 5: 1990. Covering details on the conditions in which our doors must be stored to reduce the risk of damage, resulting in potentially damaging the aesthetics and the functionality of the door.
A timber door must not be exposed to extreme temperature or humidity prior to unpacking. Packaging and protective wrapping should not be removed until the products need to be installed. Doors must be stored flat in a dry, well-ventilated environment. Stack doors on at least three level bearers equally spaced along the length of the door. Under no circumstances should they be stored in damp or freshly plastered rooms.
Installation of door sets should be in accordance with the guidelines within of BS 8000 Part 5 : 1990. Ensure the property where the doors are to be hung is completely dry, particularly freshly plastered rooms. Install fire doors in accordance with the installation instructions provided. Do not cut apertures on site as this will invalidate the fire rating.
Correct installation of the door frame will not only maintain the structural integrity in a fire situation but will also assist in the prevention of a twist, wane, and cupping of the frame due to changes in humidity and natural timber moisture movement. Our installation instructions contain details and diagrams on how this should take place.
