CDC G.R.P. doors are individually hand crafted products manufactured to specific customer orders. Due to the nature of the product and the hand finishing process used they may occasionally display small blemishes which do not detract from the overall appearance of the product. These are regarded as being within tolerance when such blemishes are not visible to the naked eye when viewed from a distance of 3 meters. Similarly woodgrain effect products will, like the natural material, display colour variations across their surface and colour will vary from door to door. Ordering doors to match helps to reduce this variation but will not eradicate it entirely.

Size and Deflection – the natural curing process does affect the ultimate product size and a tolerance of +6mm on both height and width is deemed acceptable. Doors in the open position may display a vertical deflection of up to 6mm per liner meter.

Translucency – may vary slightly when viewed from the inside on a bright day due to the variation in laminate thickness. This does not represent a manufacturing defect and overall performance is not affected.

Door Cleaning – periodically clean the door panel using warm water and a soft cloth or sponge, allow to dry naturally. Never use detergent, abrasive, caustic or solvent based cleaners as these may damage the door surface. Bird droppings should be removed immediately as these can be particularly caustic.

Top and Bottom Rails and End Styles – may vary in height or width between doors of the same style depending on size ordered. This is to enable us to cater for your particular size of door. Should you have any concerns please contact CDC before placing an order.

The Corporate Door Company’s policy is one of continuous improvement and we reserve the right to change the specification or withdraw any products without prior notice.
