How do I install heavy arched doors?

Hanging heavy timber doors requires robust structural support and heavy-duty hinges capable of taking significant weight. Professional installation ensures the frame remains square and the leaves swing freely without dropping. Alignment is critical with arched openings because any shift in the wall can throw off the curve at the top. Secure fixing into primary studs or masonry guarantees safe daily use.

Can exterior doors be used inside?

Using exterior salvage doors indoors creates striking room dividers or wardrobe fronts. Weathered timber adds texture and historical depth to modern residential spaces. Modification may be necessary to fit standard interior door frames and floor clearances. Trimming should be done carefully to preserve the original proportions of the lower rails.

How should I clean historic pine?

Cleaning historic pine requires gentle methods that preserve the patina and original surface wax. Soft cloths and mild soap solutions remove surface dust without stripping the wood. Avoid soaking the timber or using harsh chemical solvents that damage older finishes. Applying a fresh coat of natural wax afterwards helps protect the grain.

What defines the French style?

French country and provincial doors often feature lighter timber frames and softer painted finishes. These designs prioritise domestic warmth and elegance over rigid formality. Glazed panels or elaborate curved top rails frequently appear in these Continental examples. They bring a distinct lightness compared to heavier domestic joinery.
