FINISHED TO PERFECTION Wood is a wonderful material and we all identify with its natural beauty. Inherent in that beauty is variation - trees are not made by machine, so uniformity is not an option! Communicating this to consumers would see m straightforward but everyone has their own ideas about what they expect from wood. Woodrite understands the issues faced when selling to consumers and is more than happy to assist in achieving the best results for its trade customers and their customers’ tastes. The image shown illustrates the variation in colour density across three different cedar boards - light, medium and dark, with a basecoat, one coat of light oak finish and a second topcoat of light oak. Quite a range! Woodrite can selects boards for a darker or lighter overall effect on a door and is often found sending samples to customers or working to match existing timber shades - all you have to do is ask - it’s all part of the Woodrite service! “Talking to customers and consumers about the choices they can make is always positive as we can take them through the process and make sure what can be achieved with our glorious timber is just what the customer wants!” said Sharon Cleaver, Woodrite’s National Sales Director.

How often do you see a beautifully finished door fitted to a frame that’s not the best match for colour? Woodrite’s range of frames now includes softwood, hardwood, cedar clad hardwood, cedar clad softwood, idigbo and oak - quite a choice and all are available factory finished to match the door. Frames are supplied in kit form for easy assembly on site and provide the ideal fixing point for lifting gear. A choice of 70x70 mm and 70x90 mm sections adds versatility. “The frames are proving very popular and are an added sale for our trade customers to offer the consumer - improving the value of a sale with a quality extra is always good news!” Commented Sharon Cleaver, Woodrite’s National Sales Director. The effect of a frame finished with the same care as the Woodrite’s doors marks out an installation as special and it’s available now from Woodrite.
