Revive a composite door with Owatrol - Trade Decorator Revive a composite door with Owatrol - Trade Decorator
If the first application of Polytrol was not successful and the surface has remained dry and discoloured, then you can re-apply a further coating of Polytrol. One of the bigger benefits of restoring period doors rather than replacing them is that it keeps bespoke doors in place. You could try a sample pot of Polytrol to see if it will recover the surface of the door. We’d recommend trying it first in a small area to see if it will recover the surface.Polytrol usually can last for 24 months+ before re-application is necessary. It depends on the sunlight, rain and pollution in which it is subjected to (i.e living near to the sea may mean an earlier re-application of Polytrol is necessary as it is subjected to a harsher environment). All waxes, polishes, silicone etc should be completely and thoroughly removed as this will hinder the penetration of Polytrol. After cleaning, leave the door to dry for 24 hours before applying Polytrol. Make sure that your door is completely dry before moving on to the next step! 2. Apply the Polytrol As I have said the paint has faded, the colour looks sad and the grain is showing white lines along the grain. Please advice and let me know where I can get the Polytrol colour restorer.
Period front door restoration - Wooden front door refurbishment
Door restoration is often much cheaper than replacing the door. It is also the best way to preserve the look of your home too. By changing the doors to modern uPVC French doors, you can drastically change the looks of your entire home.
So, if your house is Georgian, for example, this doesn’t mean that your doors are from this period. We can help you find out which period your doors are from when we see them. The surface wasn’t completely clean prior to application (For the best possible result using Polytrol, the surface must be clean, dry and free of dirt, grease, grime and mildew. All waxes, polishes, silicone etc should be completely and thoroughly removed). If your front door looks dated, you may be considering whether you should replace it or refurbish it. At Door Renew, we prefer to refinish wood doors rather than replace them, and here’s a few reasons why: So long as the door isn’t white and has been painted the same colour each time, then Polytrol will work just fine. Polytrol works by saturating deep into the surface of the door, not by leaving a coating, so removal of the excess Polytrol is important.
How to revive a composite front door | Owatrol Direct
Polytrol will restore the colour of the over coated paint, but unfortunately will not hide any brush marks, patchiness or any other blemishes present. Although we didn’t have any mildew on the door, if you do, don’t worry. Mildew can be treated with a 50:50 bleach and water solution. Just scrub it on, leave it for 10-15 minutes, then rinse it off. Using a brush or lint-free cloth, apply an even, generous coat of Polytrol. Leave it work for 10-20 mins and then wipe off the excess Polytrol with a new, clean lint-free cloth and leave to dry. What you could do is remove the paint that has been applied with Dilunett: https://www.owatroldirect.co.uk/product/dilunett-gel/ If you still have any queries regarding the use of Polytrol, please call us on 01582 592707 and we will gladly assist you.If the door is particularly dirty you might want to consider using a cleaning product such as Owatrol Net-Trol.
