INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Cut-outs for screw connections
Wood is subject to a natural process of swelling and contraction. For this reason, over the course of the year your house “grows” and “shrinks”. Shorter wooden boards (front) adapt faster than long boards to the momentary climatic conditions. This can result in cracking. In order to reduce this cracking and at the same time allow for the natural growth and shrinkage behaviour of the wood, at the window and door recesses you must join each two boards positioned directly over each other. For this purpose, use 4 x 60 Spax joints. Always pre-drill the boards for screw can drill obliquely into the wood without slipping connections. Note: You away by setting on the drill vertically for the first 3-5 mm and only then drilling obliquely.

Roofing felt installation
Note! This description is only an example!
The number of bitumen strips to be used depends on your actual house size.
When joining rolls of roofi ng felt end to end, the overlap must be
aproxximately 10cm. The roof is not
safe to walk on. The roof is designed for a total load (snow, wind) and not
for a point load. We recommend you to always support the roof from below
during installation. The sealing
of the roof surfaces to adjacent components with bitumen sealant has to be
effected by the customer! If it is a saddle-roofed house, do not use roofi ng
tiles for roofi ng. In this case,
a 20 cm wide strip of bitumen with overhang should be installed on both sides
of the eaves. For houses with a tonne roof, please install a bitumen roofi ng
under the shingles. In
the case of a fl at roof the laying of roof shingles is not possible!

Handling Maintenance Care of the door
The guarantee is conditional on proper upkeep!
For lasting protection of the value and suitability for use, professional care
and maintenance is also recommended during the warranty period; this is not
included in the warranty obligations. Defects must be repaired immediately
upon detection
Wood protection treatment of the door
All parts of the door must receive wood protection treatment. Those sections
of the wood, which will not be accessable after installation, should receive
complete treatment before installation. Treat the product with a blue stain
blocking coat; afterwards apply a double protective coating of an open-pored
wood-protection glaze. Application of a protective coating should be repeated
at least every two years. Please beware that the inserted plates of other
material may come to differ in colour to the doors if you use unsuitable
coating material. With coloured and boiler pressure impregnated houses, only
the exposed natural wood (saw cuts) and parts should need extra treatment. You
can obtain an even colour covering in inside areas with one coat of paint. For
that you should use an open-pored, acrylic based water dispersed lacquer. In
order to guarantee a long service life of your product you should repair
damaged areas immediately. Do this by whetting the damaged area and apply a
new coat of paint. Enquire about suitable glazes at your local paint retailer.
Furthermore, you can seal the joining of the wood-window pane with a suitable
sealant to guarantee a long service life of the door and prevent leakage from
heavy rain. If these precautions of care are not properly carried out, it can
result in deformation, blue stain, fungus infestation in the doors and frames
and loss of warranty.
Cleaning
Regular cleaning and care is a prerequisite for preserving the service life
and functionality of high-value products. Cleaning is to take place outside,
inside and also in the rabbet-area. The cleaning agent used must be suitable
for the relevant material; please do a test before you start cleaning.
Deformation of the door
Wood reacts to environmental infl uences. Weather exposure will lead to
swelling and contraction of the wood. This causes variances of dimensions and
slight deformation. Dependant on the weather exposure, the door may need
realignment by turning the hinges in- or outwards. Some door warpage is
acceptable as long as the door can be made to function through the alignment
options specifi ed here. The warranty does not cover damage caused by use of
excessive force.
Adjustment of the door
The door must be accurately adjusted to ensure trouble-free operation. The
door frames must be installed right-angled and perpendicular. Furthermore,
they must be installed so the width of the frame is the same at the top and
bottom. If the door doesn’t close or if one panel is askew, this can be
rectifi ed by limited in- or outwards turning of the hinges. You can turn the
hinges outwards up to 5 rotations. If you have a double-door, the door to be
secured must always be correctly aligned at the top and bottom with the
appropriate hinges
