Cut-outs for screw connections

Cut-outs for screw connections
Wood is subject to a natural process of swelling and contraction. For this reason, for the year your house “grows” and “shrinks”. Shorter wooden boards (front) adapt faster than longboards to momentary climatic conditions. This can result in cracking. To reduce this cracking and at the same time allow for the natural growth and shrinkage behavior 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 the screw can drill obliquely into the wood without slipping connections.

Note: You away by setting the drill vertically for the first 3-5 mm and only then drilling obliquely.

• Dear customer, pay attention to the correct design variant!

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 roofing felt end to end, the overlap must be approximately 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 installaton. 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 roofing tiles for roofing. In this case, a 20 cm wide strip of bitumen with an overhang should be installed on both sides of the eaves. For houses with a tonne roof, please install bitumen roofing under the shingles. In the case of a flat 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, that will not be accessible after installation, should receive complete treatment before installation.
• Treat the product with a blue stain-blocking coat; afterward, 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 materials may come to differ in color from the doors if you use unsuitable coating material.
• With colored and boiler pressure-impregnated houses, only the exposed natural wood (saw cuts) and parts should need extra treatment.
• You can obtain an even color covering in inside areas with one coat of paint.
• For that, you should use an open-pored, acrylic-based water-dispersed lacquer.
• To guarantee a long service life of your product you should repair damaged areas immediately.
• Do this by whetting the damaged area and applying 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 influences. Weather exposure will lead to swelling and contraction of the wood. This causes variances in dimensions and slight deformation. Depending on the weather exposure, the door may need realignment by turning the hinges in or outwards. Some door warpages is acceptable as long as the door can be made to function through the alignment options specified here. The warranty does not cover damage caused by the 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 rectified by limited in or outwards turning off 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.
