A door is more than an architectural feature; it’s a transition, a threshold, a storyteller of everyday life. And when you select a CPL veneer door from Wesmarc, you’re selecting much more than utility. You’re selecting quiet refinement, design balance, and enduring dependability. But like all aspects of home, even the best doors need attention. Knowing how to care for yourCPL veneer door makes it remain lovely and operate effectively for years to come. Here is a step-by-step guide to ensure that the door retains its elegance and solidity.
1. Wipe Gently, Shine Naturally
Regular cleaning is the simplest and most efficient means of prolonging the life of your veneer door. Wesmarc doors are resistant to stains, marks and smudges, but a layer of dust or grime will eventually make any finish dull.
- Dust can be removed with a dry microfiber cloth.
- For smudges or fingerprints, lightly wet the cloth with water or a mild, non-abrasive cleaning liquid.
- Avoid getting the surface wet or using strong chemical cleaning agents, which can impact the CPL finish or glue adhesion.
- Never use coarse materials to scrub. The embossed CPL texture is intended to replicate real wood grain.
This practice maintains the natural texture of Wesmarc finishes, whether Natural Oak, White Ash, or Stained Walnut.
2. Preserve from Water and Humidity
Though Wesmarc doors for home are constructed from high-quality CPL laminated with PUR glue so they are more moisture-resistant than traditional wooden doors, keep in mind they are not waterproof.
- Do not expose yourself to direct water for a prolonged time. When used in kitchen or bathroom proximity, always provide sufficient ventilation.
- Apply Wesmarc’s bottom hydro guards in rooms that are subject to moisture, such as doorways during monsoon months or laundry rooms.
- Wipe spills or splashes immediately to prevent long-term impact on both the surface and the internal engineered core.
By taking small preventive steps, you’re extending the lifespan of one of the best doors for home use, made not just to impress, but to endure.
3. Give Attention to Hardware
Door maintenance goes beyond aesthetics. It’s just as important to ensure hinges, locks, and fittings remain in excellent condition.
Wesmarc doors come fitted with:
- Adjustable 2-E or 3-E hinges
- EN-rated heavy-duty mortise locks
- Fortified striker plates and co-extruded soundproof seals
Here’s how to take care of them:
- Wipe clean metal fittings with a soft, dry cloth to prevent rust and tarnishing.
- Check hinges and lock mechanisms every 6–9 months.
- Check regularly for loose screws or misalignment, particularly if the doors for home become stiff or creaks upon opening.
- Don’t ignore the initial signs—doing so prevents additional wear and tear.
4. Protect From Physical Harm
Even the best door for home can get nicks and scratches where there is a lot of traffic. But these can be avoided with the least effort:
- Don’t slam the door or have it bang against walls.
- Use rubber stoppers or magnetic door stops to absorb closure.
- Be careful when moving heavy furniture or objects through the doorway.
- Install frame corner guards or kick plates. Wesmarc makes these available in advanced finishes such as silver, black, and antique gold to complement decor.
5. Blend Maintenance with Personalization
It is the versatility of the Wesmarc CPL veneer door that makes it truly special. From beading on the doors to match your furniture, to double-sided finishes for customization, these doors are made to be functional and beautiful. Don’t use abrasive sponges and only repolishing is suggested with the guidance of Wesmarc professionals. If you have selected glass panel doors, clean them with ammonia-free glass cleaner and a lint-free cloth.
- Self-stick metal strips or aluminum grooves must be wiped clean with a soft cloth to maintain their finish.
- These smaller details merit attention, as they are what set Wesmarc designs apart.
