PREMDOR 6 PANEL MOULDED SMOOTH STANDARD CORE 686MM X 1981MM X 35MM
Typical applications and installation
This moulded panel door is designed for internal use in domestic properties, flats, and light commercial spaces where traditional styling is preferred. The door suits standard UK door frame openings and is suitable for fitting into existing frames or new installations. Installation follows standard internal door hanging procedures: ensure the frame is square and plumb, use three hinges for stability, and allow adequate clearance for operation. The 35mm thickness provides sufficient rigidity for standard internal door frames without additional bracing.

- Light commercial office and retail interiors
- Replacement doors in existing frame openings
- New build internal door installations
On-site finishing and painting
The white base coat provides an excellent foundation for on-site painting, eliminating the need for primer in most cases. The smooth moulded faces accept paint readily and allow for a high-quality finish without extensive sanding or surface filling. Apply paint using standard interior paint products suitable for timber doors. Two coats of quality emulsion or eggshell finish will provide durable, professional results. Ensure adequate ventilation during painting and allow proper drying time between coats.

Maintenance and care
Once painted, the door requires minimal maintenance. Wipe down with a damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. Avoid excessive moisture exposure in bathrooms or kitchens without adequate ventilation, as this may cause swelling or paint damage. Check hinges and hardware periodically to ensure smooth operation. Touch up paint as needed to maintain appearance and protect the timber core from moisture ingress.
- Regular dusting with soft cloth keeps painted surface clean
- Avoid prolonged moisture exposure without ventilation
- Inspect hinges and hardware annually for wear
- Touch up paint damage promptly to prevent moisture penetration

Limitations and considerations
This door is designed for internal use only and is not suitable for external applications or areas subject to high moisture levels such as wet rooms without proper ventilation. The standard core construction is appropriate for internal partitioning but does not provide fire rating unless specifically certified. Ensure the door frame is properly sized for the 686mm x 1981mm dimensions and that adequate clearance is maintained for handles and locks. The smooth moulded finish is not suitable for staining; painting is the recommended finishing method.
