Peeling lacquer on timber doors
Clear finishes show the substrate
Because lacquer is transparent, patching can be more visible than with opaque paint. Timber colour, grain and the age of the surrounding finish all affect the result.
External exposure changes the decision
An external timber door needs a finish system suitable for weather exposure and edge protection, not just a cosmetic top coat.
Before refinishing
Confirm the door construction and manufacturer guidance before sanding or applying a new product, especially with veneers and engineered doors.
