How to properly store and transport the door if you do it yourself?
It is very important to maintain the good properties and dimensions of hardwood doors, to avoid drastic changes in air temperature such as direct sunlight, as well as prolonged humidity, frost or other similar natural conditions, as they can all permanently damage the wooden door. Hardwood doors would be most suitable if they are installed immediately after purchase, once they have entered the new property. If the door is in the package for more than 7 days after purchase, Nordic Hardwood Factory does not accept the warranty period because the conditions have not been met. When transporting wooden doors in a car, moderate temperature and humidity must be ensured. Doors may only be transported on a pallet in a horizontal position, among other products that may still be in transport, they must be separated by spacers so the doors do not get damaged. Hardwood doors may only be moved carefully. They must not be thrown, pushed, pulled or rolled, if this is done Nordic Hardwood Factory does not undertake warranty repairs. Under no circumstances should water or solvents get on surfaces coated with paint or varnish. They can damage wooden products and then nhf.lv can no longer provide warranty repairs, if necessary, after incorrect transportation.

Hardwood door operating conditions:
Every hardwood product from nhf.lv needs proper care, maintenance and use in order to keep its life longer and to be able to use it for generations. If the specified hardwood product is not used properly, it may deform, change color, shape or obtain some other defect.Hardwood doors need to be stored and operated dry i.e. relative humidity 45-65%, and in warm rooms i.e. from + 10 ° C to + 40 ° C, with both ventilation and heating. Large deviations from these indications can lead to serious premature deterioration of properties. We recommend to install hardwood doors to the nearest 0.5m from any heat source, as well as maintain a sharp difference in temperature and humidity. If hardwood doors are exposed to direct sunlight, the paint and varnish coating will age rapidly and will not perform their functions. Painted, varnished or stained wood products may differ in color because wood is a natural material and each fiber is unique, so the appearance of paint, varnish or stain may vary.

When opening the door, be careful not to injure your fingers and feet. The door must be opened and closed without cutting or using excessive force.
