Short Description | The technology behind Tricoya wood is based on acetylation, a process that has been developed by specialists over decades of research and testing. Acetylation changes elements within the wood, reducing the ability to absorb water and adding stability and durability. The acetyl, which provides these qualities, is naturally present within the wood. The technique used to create Tricoya simply increases the proportion of this vital element. A high-tech solution, but one with outstanding performance benefits. |

How To Install And Care For XL Joinery External Doors
Installation
When trimming a door to fit, 12mm can be removed from each edge of the door to a maximum reduction of 24mm in both the height and width. Any reduction must be removed evenly from each edge of the door, e.g. to trim your door by 8mm in width, remove 4mm off each side.
External doors must have a weather bar or rain deflector fitted to ensure that water runs away from the face and bottom edge of the door. Stable doors require a weather bar fitting to both leafs.
A drip bead should be fitted to prevent moisture ingress to the top edge of the door, e.g. fitted to the door frame head.
Three hinges should be used to hang the door. Stable doors require 4 hinges and a weather seal fitted between the 2 leafs. All hardware screw holes should be pre-drilled to prevent splitting of the timber.
Locks should not be fitted adjacent to door mid-rails where the joint may be compromised.
We recommend letter box cut outs are not made through vertical panels as this could lead to moisture ingress and/or failure of the product.
Some glass styles are smooth on one side and obscure on the other: Please check that the obscure glazed faces of multiple doors are orientated in the same direction, e.g. if installing 2 glazed doors side by side.
In areas of severe exposure, external doors should be protected by a canopy or porch in addition to recommended finishing.
Sidelights are supplied with separate instructions for fitting/trimming.
Finishing
Bare timber doors will require a light sanding prior to finishing.
Take care when finishing glazed doors to ensure that the finish does not go on the glass. Secondary protection such as masking tape may be necessary.
All timber surfaces must be given a total of three coats of high performance wood-stain or paint. It is important to apply the treatment to the door before final installation.
When applying the finish pay particular attention to sealing the timber end grain on the tops and bottoms of the doors and any grooved areas within the door design: It is recommended that 2 coats of an end grain sealant are used on the top and bottom edges of the door prior to final finishing of the door.
Ensure that all lock, letterbox and hinge cut-outs are also finished to the same degree as visible surfaces.
Failure to treat all the timber surfaces may lead to excessive changes in moisture content which will cause the timber to shrink or swell, possibly causing splits and distortion.
Clear translucent coatings are not recommended as the timber may discolour through UV degradation.
Pre-Finishing Summary
DO
DO NOT
To ensure the long life and appearance of the door, all coatings should be wiped down annually to remove any surface pollution. Periodically check the finishing treatment and touch up as necessary. Fully retreat the door every few years as required and depending on degree of exposure.
