In this blog, we tackle a common mistake that even professionals make – forgetting to finish the door.

A mistake we see all the time, especially on strata jobs, is water damage to doors. Before they’re hung, doors should be primed at the top and bottom, especially if they’re being used for wet areas. Doors are often MDF lined with cheap, light material on the inside (to keep them light). But if you don’t prime, water can seep up from the floor and rot away the lining. Over time, you will literally be able to pull the MDF away from the door.
