Why Do Doors Need Oiling?

ONLINE DOOR STORE

Oak is a natural material which moves in a completely natural way when it absorbs moisture. This of course isn’t suitable for doors which need to maintain their structural integrity and shape to ensure they retain their straight fit within the frame. The way to ensure this happens is to seal the wood so that it can no longer absorb moisture.
Applying a wood treatment such as Treatex Hardwax Oil will enhance the wood grain look of a door and also protect it against moisture but also knocks and scratches too. To ensure the door is fully protected, it should be treated thoroughly with no untreated wood left including the sides, bottom and any areas which have been altered to make room for hinges, handles and knobs.
