Wood Overlay Doors questions
- How much maintenance do they need?
- Plan on refinishing every three to five years, sooner on a west or south facing elevation with heavy sun exposure.
- Do they weigh more than steel doors?
- Yes, which is exactly why the spring system must be sized to the finished door. We calculate it, never estimate it.
