IMPORTANT INSTRUCTION FOR PROTECT YOUR INTERNAL BI-FOLD DOOR
 Introduction -Timber is a natural grown product and as such, is subject to changes due to variations in humidity
and temperature resulting in minor swelling and shrinking. This is not a defect but a natural characteristic of
timber. Warp in the plane of the door will only be considered a defect if it exceeds 1/4 inch when measured as
deviation from a straight edge on the suspected concave surface of the door in its installed position.
 Storage -This door must be stored in a dry and flat location. Do not remove packaging (plastic bag) until the door
is to be fitted.
 Precautions -This door is not recommended for installation in any new build or freshly plastered location. All
plaster, texture or cement must be completely dry to avoid excessive moisture penetration otherwise swelling,
splitting, or warping may occur. It is essential that door should be sealed with a suitable base sealer on both
faces and four edges and any cutouts (locks etc.) immediately. It is of utmost importance that both ends are
completely sealed, as this is where moisture can most easily penetrate causing swelling, splitting or warping.
Before hanging allow time for the door to adapt to the general humidity of the area in which it is to be installed.
 Hanging - All information about installation is on the hardware package included on the kit.
 Finishing – The bi-fold doors are fully finished painted; the warrants do not cover changing colors.
