Firstly, prepare the door. Remove any dirt, grease, grime or mildew from it. If there is any wax or polishes on the door, you will also need to remove this. So long as the door isn’t white and has been painted the same colour each time, then Polytrol will work just fine.

If the door is only lightly soiled, a simple wash with warm soapy water, a gentle scrub and thorough rinse might be all that is needed. For more information about Paul and his company please see his bio below. We couldn’t wait to see the photos and share them with our other customers. I’m sure you’ll agree that the transformation is nothing short of marvellous!Good preparation is key to a good finish. To have an excellent result you must begin with a clean door free to any dirt, grease, grime and mildew. As Polytrol work by saturating deep down into the surface, if you have any wax or polish applied to the door, this will also need to be removed before application of Polytrol can begin. Polytrol usually can last for 24 months+ before re-application is necessary. It depends on the sunlight, rain and pollution in which it is subjected to (i.e living near to the sea may mean an earlier re-application of Polytrol is necessary as it is subjected to a harsher environment). CDC RESTORATION LTD trading as Scott James Sash Windows Specialists, a company registered in England and Wales with company number 06539664 After cleaning, leave the door to dry for 24 hours before applying Polytrol. Make sure that your door is completely dry before moving on to the next step! 2. Apply the Polytrol Before application, you would need to clean the surface thoroughly with warm soapy water or Net-Trol ( https://www.owatroldirect.co.uk/product/net-trol/).
How to revive a composite front door | Owatrol Direct
Any rot we find on the door and the door frame is then repaired. For larger areas of damage, we splice in fresh wood. However, if you’d like to modernise your home’s energy efficiency, you may feel like there is no other option but to change the doors. If your front door looks dated, you may be considering whether you should replace it or refurbish it. At Door Renew, we prefer to refinish wood doors rather than replace them, and here’s a few reasons why: The wooden front doors of your home are extremely important for maintaining the character of your property. Without these beautiful doors, your home loses a fantastic period feature.But by preserving them, restoring them and adding modern glazing and draughtproofing technology, you can enjoy all the benefits of modern window and door technology as well as the classic style of your doors. Super pleased with the service, all of my doors had problems and are now worked brilliantly after being let down by the installer. Would highly recommend. Although we didn’t have any mildew on the door, if you do, don’t worry. Mildew can be treated with a 50:50 bleach and water solution. Just scrub it on, leave it for 10-15 minutes, then rinse it off. Certain styles of doors were popularised at different times throughout history. However, previous homeowners may have changed their doors to keep up with the current styles and trends, just as you are doing now. A new wood front door is expensive, but you can have the same new-door look with your existing wood door and our front door refinishing services.

Once you have finished using Polytrol, clean any brushes or other tools you may have used with white spirit. Cloths can be left flat to airdry before discarding.Polytrol works by saturating deep into the surface of the door, not by leaving a coating, so removal of the excess Polytrol is important.

The door didn’t take us longer than 20 minutes so we could do it all in one go but if it will take you any longer than 20 minutes, you will need to work within areas that can be completed within this time-frame. If the door is particularly dirty you might want to consider using a cleaning product such as Owatrol Net-Trol. Or for the removal of mildew you may want to use something such as a 50:50 bleach and water solution. Using a brush or lint-free cloth, apply an even, generous coat of Polytrol. Leave it work for 10-20 mins and then wipe off the excess Polytrol with a new, clean lint-free cloth and leave to dry. These are heritage doors that add so much character to your property. Removing original doors takes away a lot of the charm and style of your home. What you could do is remove the paint that has been applied with Dilunett: https://www.owatroldirect.co.uk/product/dilunett-gel/
