INTRODUCTION

Timber is a natural grown product and as such is subject to changes due to variations in moisture and temperature resulting in minor swelling and shrinking. This is not a defect but a natural characteristic of timber. Warp at the face of the door will be considered a defect if it exceeds 1/4 inch when measured as deviation from a straight edge on the suspected concave surface of the door in its installed position.
