If you think these doors are cheap,think again.I bought five of these doors and two of them started blistering in patches near the centre and glue marks showing through after about a week of finishing with Wickes products.After a visit by the manufacturer our claim was rejected,although we were previously offered replacement doors by the store but obviously that meant paying for fitting and finishing again.
The claim was rejected on the grounds that the top and bottom of the door was not fully sealed,despite the problem being at the centre of the door!
These doors are not solid pine in the sense that they are made of pieces of wood bonded together and then veneered to look like solid doors.If you buy these doors you have to take them off once fitted then seal all cut outs including locks hinges top bottom etc. then refit otherwise any claim will be denied.Not such good value now?
