Choosing the right Johnson Door
|
 A
door says as much about your personality as the clothes you
wear. The choices are limitless, but there are certain things to
bear in mind before choosing the door that’s right for you. The
most important consideration for choosing a new door — whether
inside or out — is that it fits in with the style of the
environment. What type of house do you have — modern,
traditional, country or townhouse?
Clean,
simple lines fit a more modern style, but an older, more
traditional house needs a classic door with a little more
ornamentation. Whatever you are looking for, you can be
confident that Johnson Doors has the door that exactly meets
your needs — and the demands of today’s home.

Why choose wood?
For
a
sophisticated, individual look, wood is the natural choice. Each
piece is as unique as a fingerprint. And each species has a
distinct feel and personality all its own. From a purely
aesthetic viewpoint, you will not find another material that can
match wood's elegance and charm. Composite materials try to
mimic it, but none have been able to capture the texture, depth
and beauty of the real thing.

Can my door be painted, stained, oiled or waxed?
Internal Doors
- All types of Internal doors can be treated with paint or
vanish type finishes. Be sure to apply amply coats to a new door
and fresh coats periodically.
NEVER
use a ‘water-based’ product on your new laminate doors, frames
and panels as it may cause peeling.
External Doors
(Paint) - External doors, frames and panels may be treated with
exterior quality paint. A primer coat, 2 undercoats and 2 gloss
coats are recommended. Be sure to seal both the top edge and
bottom edge underneath to prevent moisture from entering the
timber.
External Doors
(Stain or Varnish) - External Doors, frames and panels may be
treated with a ‘spirit-based micro porous’ treatment of quality
exterior grade. A pre-dec coat and four top coats are
recommended. Be sure to seal both the top edge and bottom edge
underneath to prevent moisture entering the timber. A pigmented
treatment should be used to protect the timber from ultraviolet
rays. Clear varnish alone is not sufficient to protect the
timber.
NEVER
use a ‘water-based’ product on your new external doors, frames
and panels. These do not give adequate protection for your
external doors.

Storing your new Johnson Door...
We would
recommend that the door be hung as soon as possible after
purchase. However, if the door must be stored, it must be
stacked flat in a cool, dry area free from moisture and not
exposed to sunlight or heat. Doors should not be stacked
directly on fresh or new concrete, nor should they be leant
against a wall for extended periods. Do not remove the
protective packaging from your door until you are ready to treat
and fit the door.
|
Do you do purpose made products?
Our company is
unable to supply made to measure doors. However, we do supply
doors in a wide variety of measurements to suit your every need.
|
Can you cut my door to…...?
We do not have
a cut to size service as dressing the door to suit your frame
needs to be done on site by your installer for a perfect fit.
In the case of
new frames being supplied by us as well as doors and/or side
panels, we will not trim the door(s)/panel(s) to fit the frame.
Again this must be done by your installer to ensure best fit.
