Care & Maintenance of Meranti

Meranti products need to be cared for. They need to be protected from the harsh environment is South Africa. If adequate care is not provided it will result in and assist with the degredation of the product. On delivery of the product the goods must be oiled to protect them from the elements. We do have a transit sealer on the products, but this is not enough. The goods will require 2 - 3 more coats of the clients oil. We recommend silk wood. Doors must always be stored flat. Failure to treat the goods on all 6 sides does affect the warranty of the product.

One of the biggest problems we see on site with regard to meranti doors is when the carpenter, plains or trims the doors for hanging and then doesnt seal them top and bottom. It is imperative that all areas of the door are sealed, even around the cut outs for hinges and locks.
