Care of doorsets
Leaderflush Shapland
recommend doorsets should be installed as a late second fix
item.
Installation
Ideally, Plasform doorsets should be considered as late second
fix items, not for installation until all 'wet trades' have
finished.
All main frame sections are supplied pre-bored and countersunk
ready for fixing with wood screws, proprietary expanding bolt
systems or self-tapping screws. Matching caps are provided to
conceal fixings. Any voids between the back of the frame and
wall structure should be sealed in accordance with BS 8214.
Architraves and loose stops, where supplied, are attached to the
jamb by a secret fix tongue which should be finally secured
using a bead of adhesive. Architraves are supplied mitred for
easy site assembly. On-site
All doorsets are carefully wrapped and protected to avoid
damage during transportation. To simplify handling, double
doors, split frames and overpanels are packaged separately. All
items are carefully labelled for straightforward reassembly
on-site. To avoid damage on-site, it is important that doorsets
are stored in dry conditions, with a relative humidity of 40% to
60%, and stacked flat on spacers. Maintenance
For laminates, soap and water or mild detergent will usually
clean the surface satisfactorily. Colour paints are available to
repair scratches or other damage.
For PVC surfaces, most marks can be cleaned off as above.
Tougher stains, such as grease, marker inks or paints can be
removed with a proprietary cleaner and soft bristle brush.
Powder-based cleaners, bleaches or ammonia should not be used as
they can leave a residue unless carefully rinsed off. We
recommend proprietory cleaners to be tested on a small area
prior to cleaning large areas.
