Protecting doors during building work
Plaster dust, paint, tools and repeated trade traffic can mark a finished door surprisingly quickly. Protection and timing matter.
Protecting doors during building workThis doorset diagram supports protecting doors during building work by showing the door, frame and hardware as connected parts of one opening.
New doors can be damaged before the project is finished
If possible, avoid installing delicate finished doors too early. Once fitted, protect faces and vulnerable edges without trapping moisture or damaging the finish with unsuitable tape.
What to look at
Start with the opening, the condition of the existing door and frame, the way the space is used, and the finish you want to achieve. These details usually narrow the practical options quickly.
