Recently available at Dimensions Doors, factory finishing of wood doors or windows offers a wide variety of standard or custom colours. Four types of finish are available: standard, hand-shaved, antiqued and "Distress" polyurethane. Colour samples or types of finish are available from some of our distributors or on our Web site. Factory finishing will ensure a high quality product, will protect your investment and will save you time. Moreover, you'll receive one litre of the product with your purchase for touch-ups.

Should you protect your wooden doors and windows using a water or oil-based coating? Dimensions Doors Finishing Service offers you the best of both worlds by using eco-friendly Sansin products. Our oil and natural modified resin-based finishing, done at our facilities, deeply penetrates the wood's cell structure thanks to one of nature's best-known miracles: water. When water evaporates, the Sansin stain imbeds itself in the wood's substrate, forming a durable and resistant barrier. Each door or window will be assembled and disassembled before being treated in order to offer the best quality finish available. The product will then be reassembled and inspected prior to delivery.

To give your door that new look, nothing's easier: wash your door with a bland multipurpose soap and sand lightly. Next, apply a new coat of Sansin stain by following the recommended guidelines. This product can be ordered directly from Dimensions Doors by the litre.

Our constant goal being to always offer you the best service, three types of Sansin finishes are available in 9 standard colours or tints, and a polyurethane-based available in colour tint only:

• Standard PDSA, colour only
• Antique PDANSA, colour and antique finish
• Hand-shaved PDHSSA, colour and hand-shaved finish
• "Distress" PDOPDS, opaque polyurethane colour and "Distress" finish

Finish is covered by a one-year warranty against peeling and cracking following product delivery to the distributor. Cracking of the wood is not considered a defect unless it hinders the product's operation. The clear sealing joints applied around the panels at the factory must always remain in place to avoid water infiltrations. The door must be protected by an overhang protruding by at least 2/3 the height of the door, and must be free of reasonable snow accumulation. Should door warping of more than 1/4'' occur, the door and finishing supplied by Dimensions Doors will be replaced at no cost; refer to our product warranty for further information. All return of merchandise must be previously authorized by a representative of DIMENSIONS DOORS.

Warranty and finishing instructions

All six faces of the product must absolutely be treated without delay. If the door includes a sweep, it must be removed by the consumer in order to treat the bottom of the door. Failure to treat it will void the warranty.

The choice of finish is up to the consumer. However, we recommend oil-based stains for colours, followed by UV-resistant varnish for the exterior. We suggest that you deal with a professional to finish your door in order to adequately protect your investment.
