Front door - is this one OK?

Oct 03, 2007 1 Replies

I'm in the market for a new front door, a trip to Wickes has brought this one to my attention:


It comes unfinished, with a nice light coloured wood. It seems a good buy to me - am I wrong/right?



And, if I do get it, I'd like to keep it as a light finish, not dark as in the pic, so what should I use to paint it - just plain, clear exterior varnish? Thanks Alan.


You could use an extra clear alkyd coach varnish, ideal on wood, copal would be best but not polyurethane.
