I was just looking at some doors on door deals.co.uk and spotted this statement:
It is an unfortunate fact that exterior Oak doors and frames, from whichever supplier, are not suitable for exposure to direct rain and hot sun and therfore must be sheltered in some form, a porch or canopy perhaps. These doors or frames are eminently suitable for exterior use, but with this pre-condition to validate any guarantee.
It seems strange that an external door can't be exposed to direct sunlight. Is this correct? Even when painted? And is it the same for all doors?
(Can anyone recommend a wood that is suitable as a painted door in half day sun and not going to break the bank)
Thanks
