Warranty for WoodCraft Entry Doors
The exposure to environmental conditions is a dominant factor in the lifespan of a wood door . Not all applications are appropriate for wood doors ; wood doors require protection from environmental conditions and must be installed in a protected opening with adequate roof overhang . The minimum roof overhang needed is one in which the roof overhang projects out a distance from the structure no less than one-half of the elevation difference between the bottom edge of the door and the base of the overhang ’ s highest point above the entryway . For complete installation , finishing and maintenance requirements for your wood door please read GlassCraft ’ s Guidelines for Your Hardwood Door .
